Nibco CE00900 45 Degree Elbow 1-1/2 in Pvdf Sch 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CE00900 is a 45-degree elbow fitting manufactured from PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), a high-performance thermoplastic suited for demanding chemical and industrial piping systems. Sized at 1-1/2 inches and rated to Schedule 80 wall thickness, this fitting delivers the pressure capacity and chemical resistance required in corrosive-fluid handling applications. End connections are Slip x SR FIPT, allowing one socket-weld end and one female iron pipe thread end for flexible installation in mixed-connection systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on industrial process, chemical feed, or high-purity water systems are the typical installers.

This fitting is intended for Schedule 80 PVDF piping systems where resistance to aggressive chemicals, UV exposure, or high-purity fluid requirements rule out metal or standard PVC fittings. Common applications include chemical processing lines, semiconductor fabrication, water treatment facilities, and industrial plumbing systems where both pressure performance and broad chemical compatibility are critical. The Slip x SR FIPT connection configuration makes it adaptable at transition points within a system.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides excellent resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals and solvents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness supports higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40 fittings
• 45-degree angle for moderate directional changes with lower flow restriction than a 90-degree elbow
• Slip x SR FIPT end connections allow socket-cement on one end and threaded connection on the other
• Suitable for high-purity and corrosive-fluid piping where metal fittings are not appropriate

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/2 inch Schedule 80 PVDF piping systems using socket and female threaded end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic piping systems and applicable codes such as the IPC. Depressurize and drain the system completely before cutting or disconnecting any piping. The slip end requires compatible PVDF solvent cement applied per the cement manufacturer and pipe standard guidelines. The SR FIPT threaded end should be assembled with PTFE tape or a compatible thread sealant rated for use with PVDF and the conveyed fluid.
