Nibco CE03825 Pvdf Pipe Nipple Sch 80 3/4 Inch X 3 Inch

Product Description

The NIBCO CE03825 is a Schedule 80 PVDF threaded pipe nipple designed for demanding fluid-handling applications where chemical resistance and elevated temperature performance are required. Manufactured from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), this nipple handles a maximum working pressure of 1360 psi and a maximum working temperature of 280 degrees F, making it suitable for aggressive chemical lines, high-purity fluid systems, and industrial process piping. It features MNPT threading on both ends for standard threaded connections. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this component during new construction or maintenance work on chemical process, industrial, and specialty fluid systems.

This nipple is used in residential and commercial piping systems where standard thermoplastic materials like PVC or CPVC are unsuitable due to chemical exposure or operating temperatures. Common applications include chemical process lines, semiconductor fabrication, water treatment, and industrial fluid transfer. The 3/4 inch pipe size and 3 inch length make it a practical close nipple for tight runs and manifold assemblies. It meets ASTM D3222 standards for PVDF materials and is sold in single-piece quantities.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides excellent chemical resistance and long service life in aggressive fluid environments
• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated to 1360 psi maximum working pressure
• Rated for service up to 280 degrees F maximum working temperature
• MNPT threading on both ends for compatibility with standard threaded fittings and valves
• Meets ASTM D3222 material standards for PVDF pipe components
• Natural (unfilled) PVDF for broad chemical compatibility

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic threaded piping systems. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use PTFE thread tape or a compatible thread sealant rated for PVDF and the specific fluid being handled — avoid sealants that may chemically attack PVDF. Do not over-tighten threaded plastic fittings, as excess torque can crack the material; follow applicable IPC or industry guidelines for plastic threaded joint assembly.
