Nibco CE02150 Pvdf Tee 1-1/2 in Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The NIBCO CE02150 is a Schedule 80 PVDF pipe tee designed for demanding piping applications where chemical resistance and pressure integrity are required. Sized at 1-1/2 inches with female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on all three ports, this fitting provides a threaded branch takeoff in a straight run of pipe. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) construction gives this tee excellent resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals, making it a go-to choice for corrosive fluid handling systems. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters install this type of fitting in process piping, chemical distribution, and high-purity fluid systems.

This tee is suited for commercial and industrial piping installations where Schedule 80 wall thickness is specified for elevated pressure or mechanical strength requirements. The all-FIPT end connections allow threaded assembly with compatible Schedule 80 PVDF or other threaded plastic pipe and fittings. Typical install scenarios include chemical feed lines, water treatment systems, semiconductor facilities, and industrial process lines where metal fittings are unsuitable due to corrosion concerns.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides superior chemical and UV resistance compared to PVC or CPVC
• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated for higher pressure service than Schedule 40
• FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connections allow all-threaded assembly without solvent cement
• 1-1/2 inch size fits standard pipe runs requiring a branch tee configuration
• Lightweight plastic construction reduces load on piping supports

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use PTFE thread tape or a thread sealant rated for PVDF and the specific fluid being conveyed — do not overtighten threaded plastic fittings, as this can crack the fitting body. Verify system pressure ratings and chemical compatibility before placing the line back into service.
