Nibco CN00100 Socket Coupling 1 in Schedule 80 Polypropylene

Product Description

The NIBCO CN00100 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene socket coupling designed for joining 1-inch plastic pipe in industrial and commercial piping systems. It features a Slip x SR FIPT end connection configuration, allowing one socket end to accept a plain pipe and the opposing end to accept a standard reinforced female iron pipe thread. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making this fitting suited for demanding fluid handling applications. At 0.13 pounds, the coupling is lightweight and easy to handle during installation. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of Schedule 80 thermoplastic fitting.

This coupling is used in chemical processing, industrial process lines, irrigation, and plumbing systems where polypropylene's corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. The 1-inch size fits standard nominal pipe sizing in both residential and light commercial contexts. Schedule 80 polypropylene fittings are commonly found in systems carrying acids, bases, and other fluids that would degrade metal fittings. The Slip x SR FIPT connection style makes it useful for transitioning between solvent-weld pipe runs and threaded components within the same assembly.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• Polypropylene construction resists corrosion, chemicals, and scale buildup
• Slip x SR FIPT end connections for versatile pipe-to-thread transitions
• 1-inch nominal fitting size for standard pipe compatibility
• Lightweight at 0.13 pounds for easy handling on the job

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch Schedule 80 polypropylene piping systems using solvent-weld and threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of Schedule 80 polypropylene fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting into any line. Use solvent cement rated for polypropylene on the slip end and apply appropriate thread sealant compatible with polypropylene on the SR FIPT connection. Do not use solvent cements intended for PVC or CPVC, as they are not compatible with polypropylene.
