Nibco CE03300 Pvdf Reducer Bushing 1x0.75in Sch 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CE03300 is a Schedule 80 flush threaded reducer bushing manufactured from PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride), a high-performance thermoplastic suited for demanding chemical and industrial piping applications. It connects a 1-inch male iron pipe thread (MIPT) on the outer end to a 3/4-inch female iron pipe thread (FIPT) on the inner end, allowing a reduction in pipe size within an existing threaded system. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters install this fitting in systems where chemical resistance, purity, and durability under elevated temperatures are required.

This reducer bushing is intended for use in chemical process piping, ultrapure water systems, and industrial fluid handling where PVDF material compatibility is specified. The flush-style design seats the bushing flush within the fitting socket, keeping the assembly compact. It meets ASTM D3222 standards, confirming the PVDF material meets defined physical and chemical property requirements. Typical installation environments include chemical plants, semiconductor facilities, water treatment systems, and laboratory plumbing where aggressive media or high-purity requirements rule out metal fittings.

Key Features

• PVDF construction offers excellent resistance to acids, bases, and organic solvents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• Flush-style bushing keeps the fitting profile compact within the assembly
• MIPT x FIPT end connections allow direct thread-to-thread installation without additional adapters
• Meets ASTM D3222 material standard for PVDF plastic pipe fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF threaded piping systems using 1-inch to 3/4-inch reductions with MIPT x FIPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic threaded piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any fitting. Use PTFE thread tape or a sealant rated compatible with PVDF and the conveyed media — do not use petroleum-based compounds. Avoid over-tightening threaded plastic fittings, as excess torque can crack the fitting body.
