Nibco CE00350 Pvdf Pipe Coupling 1 in Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The NIBCO CE00350 is a Schedule 80 PVDF pipe coupling designed for joining 1-inch piping in demanding fluid-handling systems. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) offers strong resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals, making this coupling a reliable choice in industrial, chemical processing, and high-purity water applications. The female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on both ends allow straightforward threaded assembly without solvent cementing. At 1 pound, the fitting is compact and easy to handle on the job. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of Schedule 80 thermoplastic fitting.

This coupling is suited for use in corrosive fluid systems where standard PVC or CPVC fittings are not appropriate. Typical applications include chemical feed lines, ultrapure water systems, semiconductor fabrication facilities, and industrial process piping where elevated chemical resistance and moderate pressure ratings are required. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional structural integrity compared to Schedule 40 fittings, making it appropriate for higher-pressure service conditions.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides excellent resistance to acids, bases, and solvents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure and structural capacity
• FIPT x FIPT end connections for standard threaded pipe assembly
• 1-inch fitting size compatible with standard 1-inch pipe schedules
• Lightweight at 1 pound for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for 1-inch Schedule 80 PVDF thermoplastic piping systems with female iron pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing any existing fittings. Use appropriate PTFE thread tape or thread sealant rated for PVDF and the specific fluid service when making up FIPT connections. Avoid over-tightening threaded plastic fittings, as excess torque can crack the fitting body.
