Nibco CD03950 Pvdf Threaded Pipe Nipple Sch 80 2 in

Product Description

The NIBCO CD03950 is a Schedule 80 PVDF threaded pipe nipple designed for demanding fluid-handling systems where chemical resistance and pressure performance are required. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) is a high-purity thermoplastic well-suited for aggressive chemical environments, making this nipple a dependable choice in industrial, commercial, and specialty plumbing applications. At 2 inches nominal pipe size with NPT threads on both ends, it provides a secure, leak-resistant connection. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters working with chemical process lines, high-purity water systems, or corrosive fluid transfer applications will find this nipple appropriate for Schedule 80 plastic piping assemblies.

This nipple is used in Schedule 80 PVDF piping systems found in chemical processing, laboratory, semiconductor, and industrial water treatment installations. The red color coding aids in quick visual identification of PVDF piping runs in multi-system environments. It is suited for both new construction and retrofit work where metal nipples are being replaced with corrosion-resistant thermoplastic alternatives. The threaded ends allow integration with standard NPT fittings and valves throughout the system.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40 plastic pipe
• PVDF material provides excellent resistance to a broad range of chemicals, solvents, and ultraviolet exposure
• NPT threaded ends for compatibility with standard threaded fittings and valves
• Red color coding for easy visual identification of PVDF piping in mixed-material systems
• Lightweight construction at 0.199 pounds reduces load on threaded connections

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 PVDF threaded plastic piping systems using standard NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic piping systems. Shut off flow and depressurize the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Use PTFE thread tape or a compatible thread sealant rated for PVDF and the specific fluid being conveyed — avoid pipe dopes that may attack thermoplastics. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as PVDF is strong but can crack under excessive mechanical stress.
