Nibco CE03855 Pvdf Threaded Pipe Nipple Schedule 80 1 in

Product Description

The NIBCO CE03855 is a Schedule 80 PVDF threaded pipe nipple designed for use in demanding fluid-handling systems where chemical resistance and pressure rating are critical. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) offers exceptional resistance to a broad range of corrosive chemicals, making this nipple well suited for industrial process piping, chemical distribution, and high-purity water systems. At 1 inch pipe size with a Schedule 80 wall thickness, it provides a heavier wall than Schedule 40, supporting higher working pressures. The natural color finish is standard for PVDF components. Plumbers and pipefitters working in industrial, commercial, or laboratory environments are the primary installers of this fitting.

This pipe nipple is used in systems that require corrosion-resistant plastic piping, including chemical process lines, deionized water loops, semiconductor facility plumbing, and water treatment installations. Its threaded ends allow direct connection to threaded fittings, valves, and equipment ports without solvent cementing. Schedule 80 PVDF nipples are common in both above-ground and in-wall industrial applications where metal piping would be subject to chemical attack or contamination concerns.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides excellent resistance to acids, bases, and many solvents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness delivers higher pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40
• Threaded ends connect directly to standard threaded fittings and valves
• Natural color finish is standard for PVDF pipe components
• 1 inch pipe size fits common industrial and commercial piping configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 PVDF threaded piping systems in industrial, chemical, and high-purity water applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of threaded plastic pipe nipples should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with plastic piping systems. Apply PTFE thread tape rated for use with PVDF rather than pipe dope compounds that may be incompatible with the material. Hand-tighten first, then use a strap wrench rather than metal pipe wrenches to avoid cracking the fitting. Shut down and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded pipe component.
