Nibco CN00000 Polypropylene Socket Coupling 1/2 in Sch 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CN00000 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene socket coupling designed for joining 1/2 inch plastic piping systems. This fitting connects two pipe segments using a Slip x SR FIPT end connection configuration, making it suitable for both permanent solvent-weld and threaded assembly where a street female iron pipe thread is required on one end. At 0.06 pounds, it is a lightweight fitting well-suited for chemical-resistant or corrosive-environment piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of coupling during new construction and repair work on Schedule 80 plastic systems.

This coupling is intended for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where polypropylene pipe is specified for its chemical resistance and durability. It is commonly installed in applications involving corrosive fluids, deionized water, or industrial process lines where standard PVC or CPVC fittings are not appropriate. The 1/2 inch size fits standard half-inch Schedule 80 polypropylene pipe runs. Plumbing contractors and industrial maintenance technicians are the typical installers of this fitting.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 pressure rating for higher-pressure plastic piping systems
• Polypropylene construction provides strong resistance to a broad range of chemicals and corrosive media
• Slip x SR FIPT end connections allow connection to both plain pipe ends and female-threaded fittings
• 1/2 inch fitting size compatible with standard half-inch Schedule 80 polypropylene pipe
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds, reducing load in overhead or compact installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch Schedule 80 polypropylene piping systems with Slip x SR FIPT end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before cutting into any existing piping. Use appropriate polypropylene solvent cement or thread sealant as specified for the connection type being made. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as polypropylene fittings can crack under excessive torque.
