Nibco CE02200 Pvdf Tee 2 in Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The NIBCO CE02200 is a 2-inch Schedule 80 PVDF pipe tee designed for demanding fluid handling systems where chemical resistance and pressure integrity are required. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) is a high-performance thermoplastic that resists a broad range of aggressive chemicals, making this fitting suitable for industrial process piping, chemical transfer lines, and high-purity water systems. All three end connections are female iron pipe thread (FIPT), allowing direct threaded assembly with compatible Schedule 80 pipe and fittings. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This tee is used in commercial and industrial applications where metal fittings are unsuitable due to corrosion risk or contamination concerns. Common install scenarios include chemical processing lines, semiconductor facilities, water treatment systems, and laboratory piping. The FIPT x FIPT x FIPT configuration accommodates branch connections in a straight run without requiring additional adapters when used with male-threaded pipe ends.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides exceptional resistance to acids, bases, and solvents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated for higher-pressure service compared to Schedule 40
• FIPT x FIPT x FIPT end connections for all-threaded assembly
• 2-inch fitting size for mid-range process and industrial piping runs
• Lightweight thermoplastic construction reduces system load versus metal fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF threaded piping systems using 2-inch nominal pipe size.

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 line completely before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Use PTFE tape or a chemical-compatible thread sealant rated for PVDF and the specific media being conveyed. Do not over-torque threaded plastic fittings, as PVDF threads can crack under excessive force.
