Nibco CE03805 Pvdf Pipe Nipple Schedule 80 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The NIBCO CE03805 is a Schedule 80 PVDF threaded pipe nipple designed for demanding fluid-handling applications where chemical resistance and elevated temperature performance are required. Constructed from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), this nipple maintains structural integrity at working temperatures up to 280 degrees F and handles maximum working pressures up to 1360 psi. The male NPT (MNPT) thread pattern ensures leak-tight connections with standard threaded fittings. Plumbers and industrial pipefitters working with corrosive media, high-purity systems, or aggressive chemical lines rely on PVDF Schedule 80 components like this nipple for reliable, long-service installations.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems, industrial process piping, and chemical distribution lines where standard thermoplastic materials would degrade. Its Schedule 80 wall thickness provides the pressure rating needed for high-demand service conditions. Applications include chemical feed lines, laboratory plumbing, water treatment systems, and semiconductor or pharmaceutical process piping where PVDF's inherent purity and corrosion resistance are specified. This part ships individually and is also available in larger quantities for project or maintenance stocking.

Key Features

• PVDF construction resists a broad range of acids, bases, and solvents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated to 1360 psi maximum working pressure
• Rated for service up to 280 degrees F continuous operating temperature
• MNPT threads for direct connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• Meets ASTM D3222 standard for PVDF materials
• Natural (unpigmented) PVDF finish suitable for high-purity and chemical applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 3/4 inch Schedule 80 PVDF threaded piping systems using MNPT-standard connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic piping systems. Shut off all system pressure and drain the line before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use PTFE thread tape or an appropriate thread sealant rated for PVDF and the media being conveyed — do not use petroleum-based compounds that may degrade the material. Hand-tighten first, then apply minimal wrench turns to avoid cracking the PVDF; overtightening threaded plastic fittings is a leading cause of field failures.
