Nibco CE01250 Pvdf 90 Elbow 1/2 Inch Schedule 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CE01250 is a 90-degree elbow fitting made from PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), a high-purity thermoplastic suited for aggressive chemical, high-purity, and industrial piping systems. This fitting is manufactured to Schedule 80 wall thickness and features Slip x SR FIPT (solvent socket by straight reinforced female iron pipe thread) end connections in a 1/2 inch size. PVDF offers strong resistance to a wide range of acids, bases, and solvents, making it a common choice where standard PVC or CPVC would degrade. It meets ASTM D3222 material standards. Plumbers and pipefitters working in chemical processing, semiconductor fabrication, water treatment, or high-purity fluid handling systems typically install this fitting.

This fitting is intended for 1/2 inch Schedule 80 PVDF piping systems where a 90-degree directional change is required. The Slip x SR FIPT connection accommodates a solvent-welded socket on one end and a threaded female connection on the other, allowing integration with both solvent-cemented PVDF pipe runs and threaded components. It is suited for both industrial and commercial applications where chemical resistance, purity, and pressure-rated Schedule 80 construction are required. No specific model or system compatibility data was provided beyond the listed specifications.

Key Features

• PVDF construction rated to ASTM D3222 for use in chemically demanding and high-purity piping systems
• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure rating compared to Schedule 40 fittings of the same size
• Slip x SR FIPT end connections allow transition between solvent-cemented pipe and threaded components
• 1/2 inch fitting size suitable for small-bore process and utility piping runs
• 90-degree elbow geometry for directional changes in tight or confined piping layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch Schedule 80 PVDF piping systems with Slip x SR FIPT end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic piping systems and solvent-cementing procedures for PVDF. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before cutting into an existing line. Use only PVDF-compatible solvent cement on the slip end and verify thread sealant compatibility with the fluid media before making up the threaded connection. Follow applicable plumbing codes, including IPC provisions for plastic piping, and observe manufacturer cure times before returning the system to pressure.
