Nibco CE01550 Pvdf 90 Elbow 3/4 in Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The NIBCO CE01550 is a 3/4-inch Schedule 80 PVDF 90-degree elbow fitting designed for demanding industrial and chemical piping applications. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) offers exceptional resistance to aggressive chemicals, UV exposure, and elevated temperatures, making it a preferred material where PVC or CPVC fall short. This fitting uses female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on both ends for straightforward threaded assembly into Schedule 80 pipe systems. It meets ASTM D3222 standards for unfilled PVDF, ensuring material integrity is independently verified. Plumbers and pipefitters working in chemical processing, water treatment, and high-purity fluid systems rely on fittings like this one for reliable, code-compliant installations.

This elbow is suited for use in residential and commercial piping systems where chemical resistance and pressure performance are critical. Its Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40 fittings. The FIPT x FIPT end connections allow direct threading onto male-threaded pipe or adapters. Typical applications include chemical feed lines, ultrapure water systems, and industrial process piping where metal fittings are unsuitable due to corrosion concerns.

Key Features

• PVDF material provides superior resistance to a wide range of chemicals, solvents, and UV exposure
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure handling in demanding service conditions
• FIPT x FIPT end connections on both ends for threaded assembly
• Meets ASTM D3222 standard for unfused PVDF material quality
• 90-degree elbow geometry for direction changes in tight piping layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF threaded piping systems using 3/4-inch female iron pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic threaded fittings. Shut off all flow and depressurize the line completely before disassembly or fitting installation. Use PTFE thread tape or a thread sealant compatible with PVDF when making threaded connections — do not use petroleum-based compounds that can degrade the material. Follow applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for plastic pipe installations in your jurisdiction.
