Nibco CN00600 Poly Pipe Adapter Coupling 1 in Sch 80

Product Description

The NIBCO CN00600 is a 1-inch Schedule 80 polypropylene pipe adapter coupling designed to transition between socket (spigot) and female pipe thread connections in plastic piping systems. Built from polypropylene, this fitting resists a wide range of corrosive chemicals and is well-suited for industrial, commercial, and mechanical applications where standard metal fittings would degrade. Weighing just 0.12 pounds, it is a lightweight yet durable component. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting where a threaded female port must be joined to a plain-end polypropylene pipe run.

This adapter coupling is used in Schedule 80 plastic piping systems handling corrosive fluids, acids, or high-purity water in commercial and industrial environments. The S x FPT configuration allows a plain pipe end to be solvent-cemented into the socket side while a male-threaded fitting, valve, or equipment port threads into the female end. It is a common component in chemical processing, water treatment, laboratory plumbing, and industrial process piping installations.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for elevated pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• Polypropylene construction resists corrosion, chemicals, and moisture
• S x FPT end connections allow socket solvent-weld to threaded transition
• 1-inch fitting size fits standard 1-inch nominal plastic pipe
• Lightweight at 0.12 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch Schedule 80 polypropylene piping systems using socket and female pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Shut off flow and depressurize the line before making any connections. The socket end is joined using a polypropylene-compatible solvent cement; ensure surfaces are clean and dry before applying cement. Do not over-torque the threaded female connection, as polypropylene threads can crack under excessive force.
