A blind flange seals the end of a piping run without the use of a threaded plug or cap, making it a standard solution for system terminations, pressure testing, and future expansion points. Rated for 1\/2 inch pipe with a 3.5 inch outer diameter, this flange ships in natural PVDF finish and weighs 1 pound. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters working on corrosive fluid systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis blind flange is suited for Schedule 80 thermoplastic piping systems in commercial, industrial, and chemical process environments. PVDF material makes it appropriate for applications involving aggressive chemicals, high-purity fluid handling, and settings where standard PVC or CPVC would not provide adequate resistance. Common install scenarios include chemical distribution lines, semiconductor fab utilities, water treatment systems, and industrial process piping where end-of-line closures are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePVDF construction offers excellent chemical resistance and maintains dimensional stability across a wide temperature range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 pressure rating provides greater wall thickness and higher pressure tolerance than Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlind flange design permanently or temporarily seals pipe ends without threaded fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural PVDF finish with no added colorants, suitable for high-purity applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/2 inch pipe size with 3.5 inch OD for standard flange bolt-pattern alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for Schedule 80 PVDF thermoplastic piping systems using 1\/2 inch pipe diameter flanged connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation of plastic flanges should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic piping systems. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any flange. Follow applicable codes including ASME B31.3 for process piping when torquing flange bolts — use hand-tight plus incremental cross-pattern tightening to avoid cracking the flange face; do not use impact tools on PVDF flanges. Consult the system design specifications for compatible gasket materials before placing into chemical service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: NIBCO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: CE03500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NIBCO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51539512361266,"sku":"CE03500","price":184.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/236696deb6da55da003a292b488b544a.jpg?v=1785842240","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/nibco-ce03500-pvdf-blind-pipe-flange-1-2-in-schedule-80","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
