Nibco CE03945 Pvdf Pipe Nipple Sch 80 2x3 Inch Mnpt

Product Description

The NIBCO CE03945 is a Schedule 80 PVDF threaded pipe nipple designed for demanding fluid-handling applications where chemical resistance and elevated temperature performance are required. Sized at 2-inch nominal pipe diameter and 3 inches in length with male NPT threads on both ends, this nipple connects threaded piping systems handling aggressive chemicals, ultrapure water, or high-temperature process fluids. PVDF construction provides exceptional resistance to a broad range of acids, bases, and solvents. The Schedule 80 wall thickness allows a maximum working pressure of 1360 psi, and the material maintains integrity up to 280 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipe fitters are the primary installers of this fitting.

This nipple is suited for chemical processing, semiconductor fabrication, pharmaceutical piping, water treatment, and industrial process systems where standard metal or PVC fittings are inadequate. The natural PVDF color and ASTM D3222 compliance make it appropriate for installations requiring documented material standards. Its Schedule 80 rating supports higher-pressure runs compared to Schedule 40 plastic fittings, expanding its usability in demanding commercial and industrial environments.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides superior chemical and corrosion resistance versus metal or standard thermoplastic fittings
• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated to 1360 psi maximum working pressure
• Rated for service up to 280 degrees F continuous operating temperature
• MNPT threads on both ends for direct integration into standard threaded piping systems
• Meets ASTM D3222 material standard for PVDF
• Natural color finish; no coatings or additives that could contaminate process fluids

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 threaded PVDF piping systems using 2-inch nominal pipe size with MNPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipe fitter familiar with thermoplastic threaded systems. De-pressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any fitting. Use PTFE thread tape rated for PVDF and plastic piping rather than pipe dope, which may be incompatible with PVDF. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as PVDF is strong but can crack under excessive mechanical stress.
