Nibco CE02600 Pvdf Socket Cap 1 Inch Schedule 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CE02600 is a Schedule 80 PVDF socket cap fitting designed to terminate 1-inch plastic piping systems. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) is a high-purity thermoplastic rated for aggressive chemical service, making this cap well-suited for corrosive fluid handling in industrial, chemical processing, and high-purity water applications. The fitting ships with a Slip socket inlet and an SR FIPT threaded outlet, with a maximum working temperature of 280 degrees F and a minimum working temperature of 73 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters install this type of fitting where a branch or run-end must be cleanly capped and sealed against process media.

This cap is intended for use in Schedule 80 plastic piping systems handling corrosive or high-purity media. Typical installation scenarios include chemical feed lines, deionized water loops, semiconductor fabrication facilities, and industrial process piping where metal fittings are incompatible with the conveyed fluid. The Slip x SR FIPT end configuration accommodates both solvent-cemented socket connections and threaded takeoffs at the same fitting, adding flexibility to a terminal connection point. Verify chemical compatibility with the specific media before installation.

Key Features

• PVDF construction rated for corrosive and high-purity chemical service
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure applications
• Slip socket inlet with SR FIPT threaded outlet for flexible connection options
• Maximum working temperature of 280 degrees F
• Meets ASTM D3222 standard for PVDF plastic materials
• 1-inch fitting size for standard pipe termination

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for 1-inch Schedule 80 PVDF plastic piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified industrial pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic piping systems. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before removing or installing any fitting. Solvent cementing of PVDF requires PVDF-compatible cement and primer — standard PVC or CPVC cements are not suitable for this material. Follow applicable plumbing and process piping codes, including IPC and any site-specific chemical process safety requirements.
