Nibco CE02800 Pvdf Pipe End Cap 3/4 in Schedule 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CE02800 is a Schedule 80 PVDF thermoplastic pipe end cap designed to terminate 3/4-inch pipe runs in demanding fluid handling systems. Constructed from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), this cap offers strong resistance to a wide range of corrosive chemicals, high-purity process fluids, and elevated operating temperatures. The female iron pipe thread (FIPT) end connection allows for straightforward threaded installation onto standard male-threaded pipe or fittings. It is suited for use by licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters working on systems where chemical compatibility and pressure integrity are critical requirements.

This end cap is commonly specified for chemical processing, high-purity water systems, semiconductor fabrication, and industrial fluid distribution lines where metal fittings are not acceptable due to corrosion or contamination concerns. Schedule 80 construction provides additional wall thickness compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for higher-pressure applications and systems subject to mechanical stress. FIPT threading allows connection to standard NPT male-threaded pipe ends without special tooling.

Key Features

• PVDF material provides excellent resistance to corrosive chemicals and high-purity fluid applications
• Schedule 80 wall thickness supports higher operating pressures than standard Schedule 40 fittings
• FIPT (Female Iron Pipe Thread) end connection for standard NPT threaded pipe compatibility
• 3/4-inch fitting size suits common residential and light industrial pipe runs
• Thermoplastic construction eliminates corrosion and contamination risk associated with metal fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF piping systems using 3/4-inch NPT male-threaded pipe or fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic threaded fittings. Depressurize and drain the pipe system fully before removing or installing any fittings. Use PTFE thread tape or a chemical-compatible thread sealant rated for PVDF and the process fluid involved. Do not overtighten threaded PVDF fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body.
