Nibco CE00050 Pvdf Socket Coupling 3/4 in Schedule 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CE00050 is a 3/4 inch Schedule 80 PVDF socket coupling designed for joining same-size pipe sections in demanding fluid-handling systems. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) provides exceptional resistance to aggressive chemicals, ultraviolet exposure, and elevated service temperatures, making this fitting a reliable choice where standard PVC or CPVC would degrade. The end connections are Slip x SR FIPT, conforming to ASTM D3222 standards for PVDF plastic pipe fittings. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters install this coupling wherever corrosion resistance and pressure performance are both required.

This coupling is suited for chemical processing lines, high-purity water systems, semiconductor fab facilities, and industrial plumbing installations where aggressive media contact is a concern. Its Schedule 80 wall thickness supports higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40 fittings of the same size, making it appropriate for systems with elevated line pressures. It is equally applicable in commercial and light industrial contexts where PVDF piping systems are specified by design engineers or required by the process fluid being handled.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides superior chemical resistance to acids, bases, and solvents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure capability compared to Schedule 40
• Slip x SR FIPT end connections for versatile joining to PVDF pipe and threaded fittings
• Meets ASTM D3222 standard for PVDF plastic pipe and fittings
• 3/4 inch fitting size suits common branch and main line configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF piping systems using 3/4 inch pipe with Slip x SR FIPT end connections.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified industrial pipefitters working on PVDF piping systems. Solvent cement or mechanical joining methods appropriate for PVDF must be used — do not use PVC or CPVC cement. Depressurize and drain the system fully before cutting into an existing line. Follow applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements for plastic pressure piping in chemical or industrial service.
