Nibco CE03810 Pvdf Threaded Pipe Nipple Sch 80 3/4in

Product Description

The NIBCO CE03810 is a Schedule 80 PVDF threaded pipe nipple designed for use in demanding fluid-handling systems where chemical resistance and pressure integrity are required. Constructed from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) in a natural finish, this nipple measures 3/4 inch pipe size and 6 inches in length. The threaded end connections allow for direct installation into compatible fittings and valves without additional fabrication. PVDF material offers superior resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals, making this nipple suitable for corrosive fluid transfer, chemical processing lines, and high-purity piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of component.

This pipe nipple is suited for industrial, commercial, and specialty plumbing applications where standard thermoplastic materials such as PVC or CPVC are insufficient. Common use cases include chemical feed lines, ultrapure water systems, semiconductor facilities, and laboratory plumbing. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40 pipe, making it appropriate for systems operating under elevated pressures. Its natural PVDF color indicates virgin, unmodified resin for applications with strict material traceability requirements.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides excellent chemical resistance to acids, bases, and solvents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure rating versus Schedule 40
• 3/4 inch pipe size with threaded ends for standard NPT fitting compatibility
• 6 inch length suits a range of close-nipple and extension piping needs
• Natural PVDF color indicates unmodified, virgin resin construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 thermoplastic piping systems using 3/4 inch threaded fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before removing or installing any threaded pipe component. Use PTFE thread tape or a compatible thread sealant rated for PVDF and the specific fluid being handled. Avoid over-torquing threaded plastic fittings, as excessive force can crack PVDF pipe nipples and fittings.
