Nibco CE03760 Pvdf Pipe Nipple Sch 80 1/2 in 6 in

Product Description

The NIBCO CE03760 is a Schedule 80 PVDF threaded pipe nipple designed for demanding fluid handling applications. Constructed from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), this nipple measures 1/2 inch nominal pipe size and 6 inches in length with male NPT threads on both ends. PVDF offers exceptional chemical resistance and handles a maximum working pressure of 1360 psi and a maximum working temperature of 280 degrees F. Plumbers and industrial piping professionals install this nipple in systems where standard PVC or metal fittings are not chemically compatible with the media being conveyed.

This pipe nipple is suited for residential and commercial chemical, high-purity water, and corrosive fluid piping systems. Its Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for systems operating at elevated pressures. PVDF material makes this nipple a common choice in semiconductor, chemical processing, and aggressive-fluid plumbing installations where long-term material integrity is critical. The MNPT thread pattern allows direct connection to standard threaded fittings and valves.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides superior chemical and UV resistance for aggressive fluid systems
• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated to 1360 psi maximum working pressure
• Maximum working temperature of 280 degrees F
• Male NPT (MNPT) threads on both ends for standard threaded connections
• Meets ASTM D3222 standard for PVDF materials
• Natural (translucent) color finish

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 PVDF threaded piping systems using 1/2 inch nominal pipe size connections with MNPT threading.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified piping professional familiar with thermoplastic pipe systems. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use PTFE thread tape or a thread sealant rated compatible with PVDF and the conveyed media — avoid petroleum-based compounds that can degrade plastic threads. Do not overtighten threaded plastic fittings; hand-tight plus one to two turns with a strap wrench is the general practice for thermoplastic NPT connections.
