Ipex 32888071056 Pvc Ball Valve Schedule 80 1 Inch

Product Description

The IPEX 32888071056 is a 1-inch Schedule 80 PVC ball valve designed for isolation and flow control in piping systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are priorities. Schedule 80 PVC construction provides greater wall thickness and pressure tolerance compared to Schedule 40, making this valve suitable for demanding fluid handling applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of valve in chemical distribution, irrigation, water treatment, and industrial process lines. The full-bore ball design allows unrestricted flow when open and positive shutoff when closed.

This valve is sized at 1 inch and built to Schedule 80 PVC standards, making it appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing installations as well as industrial process piping where non-metallic construction is required. Common applications include chlorinated water systems, chemical feed lines, and irrigation manifolds where metal valves would corrode or react with the conveyed fluid. The Schedule 80 wall thickness supports higher working pressures than standard Schedule 40 fittings of the same nominal size.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for increased wall thickness and pressure capability
• 1-inch nominal size for standard pipe connections
• Ball valve design provides reliable full-bore flow and positive shutoff
• PVC material resists corrosion and is compatible with a wide range of chemicals
• Suitable for both residential and industrial non-metallic piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install ball valve for 1-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the system completely before removing any existing valve or fitting. PVC solvent-weld connections require proper primer and cement rated for Schedule 80 PVC; allow full cure time before pressurizing. Do not exceed the rated working pressure for the valve size and temperature range of the installation.
