Nibco CE03950 Pvdf Threaded Pipe Nipple Schedule 80 2in

Product Description

The NIBCO CE03950 is a Schedule 80 PVDF threaded pipe nipple designed for demanding fluid-handling applications where chemical resistance and pressure integrity are required. PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) is a high-performance thermoplastic that resists a broad range of aggressive chemicals, making this nipple a preferred choice in chemical processing, industrial plumbing, and corrosive-service piping systems. At 2 inches nominal pipe size, it accepts standard NPT threaded fittings and integrates directly into Schedule 80 plastic piping systems. The natural color finish indicates virgin, unfilled PVDF material. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters are the primary installers of this component.

This nipple is suited for residential and commercial applications where standard metal or PVC components would fail due to chemical attack or elevated temperature exposure. Typical install scenarios include chemical feed lines, deionized water systems, semiconductor fabrication piping, and industrial process lines. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40, making it appropriate for pressurized service lines where added wall strength is required.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides excellent resistance to acids, bases, and solvents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure-rated service versus Schedule 40
• Standard NPT threaded ends for direct connection to compatible threaded fittings and valves
• Natural color indicates virgin, unfilled PVDF material
• 2 inches nominal pipe size fits standard Schedule 80 plastic piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for 2 inch Schedule 80 PVDF threaded piping systems using standard NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Shut off system pressure and drain the line completely before removing or installing any threaded nipple. Use PTFE thread tape or a PVDF-compatible thread sealant rated for the service fluid when making up threaded connections. Avoid over-tightening threaded plastic fittings, as PVDF is strong but can crack under excessive torque from metal wrenches without proper support.
