Nibco CE02550 Pvdf Socket Cap 3/4 in Schedule 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CE02550 is a 3/4-inch PVDF plastic socket cap designed to terminate pipe ends in Schedule 80 piping systems. Molded from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), this cap delivers strong chemical resistance and is well suited for aggressive fluid handling applications where standard thermoplastics fall short. The slip by SR FIPT end connection allows the cap to seat securely over a plain pipe end or thread onto a female iron pipe thread fitting. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters typically install this fitting in chemical process, high-purity water, and industrial fluid systems.

This socket cap is intended for use in Schedule 80 plastic piping systems handling corrosive chemicals, ultrapure water, or other aggressive media where metal fittings are not suitable. The PVDF material makes it a common choice in semiconductor fabrication, chemical processing, and industrial water treatment installations. Its 3/4-inch size covers a widely used pipe diameter in both light commercial and industrial piping runs.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive chemicals and solvents
• Schedule 80 rating delivers heavier wall thickness for higher pressure applications compared to Schedule 40
• Slip x SR FIPT end connection accommodates both plain pipe socket and female iron pipe thread installations
• 3/4-inch fitting size is compatible with standard 3/4-inch Schedule 80 plastic pipe
• Suitable for high-purity fluid systems where contamination from metal fittings is a concern

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/4-inch Schedule 80 PVDF plastic piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any cap fitting. PVDF fittings are typically solvent-welded or threaded depending on end connection type — confirm the correct joining method for each end before proceeding. Avoid over-torquing threaded connections, as plastic threads can crack under excessive force.
