Nibco CE03860 Pvdf Threaded Pipe Nipple Sch 80 1x6 in

Product Description

The NIBCO CE03860 is a Schedule 80 PVDF threaded pipe nipple designed for use in demanding fluid handling and piping systems. Manufactured from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), this nipple delivers strong resistance to a wide range of aggressive chemicals, making it a reliable choice in corrosive process lines, chemical transfer systems, and high-purity applications. The nipple measures 1 inch nominal pipe size and 6 inches in length, with threaded ends for straightforward installation into compatible fittings and valves. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers in industrial and commercial settings.

This nipple is suited for use in chemical processing, water treatment, industrial piping, and similar applications where standard thermoplastics or metal pipe may not hold up to the process fluid. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure-bearing capacity compared to Schedule 40 counterparts. The natural color finish indicates standard unfilled PVDF material. It fits into threaded plastic piping systems requiring a 1 inch nominal size and a 6 inch close or extension nipple.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides excellent chemical and UV resistance for aggressive fluid handling environments
• Schedule 80 wall thickness supports higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40
• Threaded ends allow tool-based connection to standard NPT fittings and valves
• 1 inch nominal pipe size x 6 inches in length for precise fit in tight or extended piping runs
• Natural color PVDF material — unfilled, no added pigments or fillers
• Lightweight at 1 pound, easing handling during overhead or confined-space installs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install component for Schedule 80 PVDF threaded piping systems using 1 inch nominal pipe size connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with plastic threaded pipe systems. Use PTFE thread tape or a thread sealant rated compatible with PVDF and the process fluid — do not use standard pipe dope that may degrade plastic threads. Hand-tighten first, then apply no more than one to two additional turns with a strap wrench to avoid cracking the fitting. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any nipple in a live line.
