Nibco CE02100 Pvdf Schedule 80 Tee 1 Inch Fipt

Product Description

The NIBCO CE02100 is a Schedule 80 PVDF plastic pipe tee designed for threaded piping systems handling aggressive or high-purity fluids. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) construction provides excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, making this fitting a reliable choice in demanding industrial, chemical processing, and high-purity water applications. With female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on all three ports, the CE02100 threads directly onto male-threaded pipe or fittings without the need for additional adapters. The 1-inch size and Schedule 80 wall thickness deliver the pressure rating required for commercial and light industrial service.

This tee is suited for use in chemical distribution lines, deionized water systems, semiconductor fabrication facilities, laboratory plumbing, and industrial process piping where metal fittings are not appropriate due to corrosion concerns or contamination risk. It is installed by licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters working with Schedule 80 thermoplastic piping systems. The all-FIPT configuration makes it straightforward to incorporate into existing threaded PVDF or compatible plastic pipe runs.

Key Features

• PVDF material offers high chemical resistance and suitability for high-purity fluid applications
• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides increased pressure rating versus Schedule 40
• FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connections on all three ports for threaded installation
• 1-inch fitting size for standard pipe sizing compatibility
• Lightweight construction at 1 pound per unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF threaded piping systems using 1-inch nominal pipe size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified industrial pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic threaded fittings. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before making or breaking any connections. Use thread sealant rated for PVDF and the specific fluid service — PTFE tape is commonly used but verify compatibility with the process fluid. Avoid overtightening FIPT connections, as PVDF is rigid but can crack under excessive torque; hand-tight plus a controlled number of turns per fitting manufacturer guidelines is the standard practice.
