Nibco CE03820 Pvdf Threaded Pipe Nipple Sch 80 3/4 in

Product Description

The NIBCO CE03820 is a Schedule 80 PVDF threaded pipe nipple designed for demanding fluid-handling systems where chemical resistance and pressure integrity are critical. Sized at 3/4-inch pipe diameter and 4 inches in length, this nipple connects threaded pipe runs in industrial, chemical processing, and high-purity plumbing applications. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) offers superior resistance to a wide range of corrosive chemicals, UV exposure, and elevated temperatures compared to standard PVC or CPVC fittings. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure-bearing capacity. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This nipple is suited for use in chemical feed lines, water treatment systems, semiconductor fabrication piping, and aggressive-media plumbing installations where metallic fittings are not appropriate. Its natural (off-white) color is standard for PVDF thermoplastic fittings and aids in visual identification within mixed-material piping systems. The threaded connection style makes it compatible with other Schedule 80 PVDF or compatible thermoplastic threaded fittings and valves in the same pipe size.

Key Features

• PVDF material provides excellent chemical, UV, and thermal resistance for corrosive-media applications
• Schedule 80 wall thickness delivers increased pressure rating over Schedule 40
• Threaded ends for straightforward connection to standard 3/4-inch threaded fittings and valves
• Natural color finish standard for PVDF thermoplastic components
• 4-inch length suitable for close-coupled connections and short pipe runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for Schedule 80 thermoplastic threaded piping systems using 3/4-inch pipe size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. De-pressurize and drain the system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Use PTFE thread tape or an approved thread sealant rated for PVDF and the specific media being conveyed. Do not over-torque threaded plastic fittings, as PVDF is strong but can crack under excessive mechanical stress.
