Nibco CE03947 Pvdf Threaded Pipe Nipple Sch 80 2in X 5in

Product Description

The NIBCO CE03947 is a Schedule 80 PVDF threaded pipe nipple designed for use in demanding fluid-handling systems where chemical resistance and pressure performance are required. Measuring 2 inches in pipe size and 5 inches in length, this nipple is manufactured from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a thermoplastic known for superior resistance to aggressive chemicals, UV exposure, and elevated temperatures. The threaded ends allow for direct connection to standard threaded fittings without solvent cementing. Plumbers and pipefitters working on chemical process, industrial, or high-purity fluid systems will find this nipple suited to Schedule 80 pressure ratings. Its natural color finish indicates virgin PVDF material with no added colorants or fillers.

This nipple is used in Schedule 80 thermoplastic piping systems where metal corrosion is a concern or where aggressive chemicals rule out PVC and CPVC. Typical applications include chemical feed lines, industrial process piping, wastewater treatment systems, semiconductor facility plumbing, and laboratory fluid distribution. The 5-inch length makes it appropriate for close-coupled connections and short spool runs. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters handle installation in both commercial and industrial settings.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides excellent resistance to chlorine, acids, bases, and many organic solvents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated for higher pressure service compared to Schedule 40
• Threaded ends connect to standard NPT fittings without cement or adhesive
• Natural color indicates virgin PVDF material free of colorants or fillers
• 2-inch pipe size x 5-inch length fits common close-coupled and short-run applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 thermoplastic piping systems using 2-inch PVDF threaded fittings and valves.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic threaded piping systems. Depressurize and drain the line fully before removing any existing nipple or fitting. Use PTFE thread tape rated for use with PVDF and fluoropolymer systems when making threaded connections. Avoid over-tightening, as PVDF threads can crack under excessive torque; follow applicable IPC and ASTM guidelines for thermoplastic threaded joint assembly.
