Nibco X801730 Pvdf Pipe Nipple Sch 80 1 in Unthreaded

Product Description

The NIBCO X801730 is a Schedule 80 PVDF pipe nipple designed for use in industrial and chemical fluid handling systems. Constructed from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), this unthreaded nipple offers strong resistance to corrosive chemicals, UV exposure, and elevated temperatures. The red color coding makes identification fast and reliable during installation and maintenance. At 1 inch nominal pipe size and 3.75 inches in length, it fits standard Schedule 80 socket or fusion connections. Licensed plumbers and industrial piping contractors typically specify PVDF nipples where aggressive media or purity requirements rule out metal or standard PVC components.

This nipple is suited for chemical processing lines, high-purity water systems, semiconductor facility piping, and industrial plumbing where corrosion resistance and dimensional stability are required. Its Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40 fittings of the same material, making it appropriate for moderate-pressure service applications. The unthreaded end style is intended for use with socket-fusion or compatible joining methods rather than threaded connections.

Key Features

• PVDF construction provides excellent resistance to acids, bases, and solvents
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for increased pressure rating versus Schedule 40
• Unthreaded ends designed for socket-fusion or compatible joining methods
• Red color coding for fast material identification in the field
• 1 inch nominal pipe size at 3.75 inches overall length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for Schedule 80 PVDF piping systems using 1 inch nominal pipe size socket or fusion fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation of PVDF piping components should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified industrial pipefitter familiar with plastic thermoplastic joining methods. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before cutting into any existing line. PVDF socket fusion requires proper temperature control and tooling per the fitting manufacturer's procedure — do not use solvent cement intended for PVC or CPVC on PVDF material. Consult local plumbing codes and applicable ASME or ASTM standards for pressure ratings and inspection requirements.
