Nibco CN00650 Poly Pipe Adapter 1-1/2 in Sch 80 Fpt

Product Description

The NIBCO CN00650 is a Schedule 80 polypropylene pipe adapter coupling designed to connect female threaded pipe ends in chemical, industrial, and plumbing piping systems. At 1-1/2 inches in size with FPT x FPT end connections, this fitting provides a threaded union between two female-threaded pipe runs or transition points. Schedule 80 wall thickness gives it the pressure rating and structural integrity required for demanding applications where standard Schedule 40 fittings are not sufficient. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters install this type of fitting during system assembly or repair where a fully threaded connection is needed at both ends.

This coupling is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial piping applications where polypropylene is specified for its chemical resistance. It is commonly used in chemical processing lines, irrigation systems, water treatment setups, and corrosion-resistant drain or supply runs. The FPT x FPT configuration makes it appropriate for connecting threaded male-end pipes or fittings on both sides of the coupling during new installation or retrofit work.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 polypropylene construction for enhanced pressure and chemical resistance
• FPT x FPT end connections for fully threaded installation on both ends
• 1-1/2 inch fitting size for standard pipe sizing compatibility
• Lightweight at 0.24 pounds, reducing handling effort during installation
• Suitable for corrosive fluid environments where metal fittings are not appropriate

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 polypropylene piping systems using 1-1/2 inch FPT connections.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before removing any existing fittings or making new connections. Use PTFE thread tape or an approved thread sealant rated for polypropylene on all threaded joints. Do not overtighten threaded plastic fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body.
