Nibco CE02350 Pvdf Hex Plug 1 Inch Schedule 80 Mipt

Product Description

The NIBCO CE02350 is a Schedule 80 PVDF hex plug designed for threaded pipe systems requiring a reliable, chemically resistant end closure. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) provides excellent resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals, making this plug well suited for industrial, chemical processing, and high-purity fluid handling applications. The male NPT thread configuration allows the plug to seat directly into a female-threaded fitting, valve, or equipment port. Licensed plumbers and industrial piping contractors are the primary installers of this fitting type.

This plug is appropriate for use in systems where chemical compatibility and pressure integrity are critical. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional strength compared to Schedule 40, supporting higher pressure ratings common in industrial service lines. It is typically installed in chemical feed lines, water treatment systems, ultrapure water circuits, and similar piping networks where metal fittings are not acceptable due to corrosion or contamination concerns.

Key Features

• PVDF construction for superior chemical and UV resistance in demanding service environments
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure capability
• Male NPT (MIPT) end connection for direct engagement with standard female-threaded fittings
• Hex head design allows wrench tightening for leak-free sealing
• Meets ASTM D3222 standard for PVDF plastic materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation plug compatible with 1-inch female NPT threaded Schedule 80 PVDF or compatible plastic pipe fittings and equipment ports in industrial and chemical service piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified piping contractor familiar with thermoplastic pipe systems. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply thread sealant compatible with PVDF and the system fluid — PTFE tape is commonly used. Do not overtighten; use wrench engagement appropriate for plastic fittings to avoid cracking the hex body or mating fitting threads.
