Nibco CE01000 Pvdf 45 Elbow 1/2 Inch Schedule 80 Fipt

Product Description

The NIBCO CE01000 is a Schedule 80 PVDF thermoplastic 45-degree elbow fitting designed for aggressive chemical and high-purity fluid handling applications. Built from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), it delivers excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive chemicals, making it a reliable choice where standard PVC or CPVC fittings are not suitable. The 1/2-inch fitting uses female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on both ends and is rated for continuous service from 45 degrees F up to 280 degrees F. It meets ASTM D3222 material standards. This fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters.

The CE01000 is suited for residential and commercial piping systems handling corrosive chemicals, ultrapure water, or high-temperature process fluids. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40. FIPT x FIPT end connections allow direct threaded assembly onto compatible male-threaded pipe or fittings without additional adapters. Typical applications include chemical processing lines, laboratory plumbing, semiconductor facility piping, and industrial fluid transfer systems where PVDF material is specified by design or code.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides superior chemical and corrosion resistance
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings vs. Schedule 40
• FIPT x FIPT threaded connections on both ends for straightforward assembly
• Rated for service temperatures from 45 degrees F to 280 degrees F
• Complies with ASTM D3222 material standard for PVDF
• 45-degree angle allows gradual directional changes in tight piping layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Schedule 80 PVDF threaded fitting for use with 1/2-inch male iron pipe thread (MIPT) connections in industrial, laboratory, and high-purity plumbing systems requiring PVDF material.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic threaded piping systems. Depressurize and drain the system completely before making any connections. Use PTFE thread tape or a chemical-compatible thread sealant rated for PVDF — avoid petroleum-based pipe dopes that can degrade the material. Do not overtighten PVDF threaded fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque; follow the fitting manufacturer and applicable IPC guidelines for plastic threaded assemblies.
