The tru-union design allows the valve body to be removed from the line without disturbing the pipe connections, making in-line service and replacement fast and clean. PTFE seats provide low-friction operation and chemical resistance, while EPDM seals deliver reliable performance across a wide range of fluid types. This valve is sized at 2.5 inches with socket-style end connections for solvent-cement installation. It is typically installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on PVC pressure systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 353623 is suited for residential and commercial applications where a thermoplastic shutoff valve is preferred over metal alternatives. Common install scenarios include pool and spa plumbing, municipal water distribution, chemical feed systems, and industrial process lines. Socket-end connections make it compatible with standard Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC pipe in the 2.5-inch size. The tru-union configuration is especially practical in tight mechanical rooms or equipment rooms where valve removal must occur without cutting the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTru-union body design allows full in-line removal without disturbing pipe connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTFE seats provide chemical resistance and low-torque operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEPDM seals offer broad fluid and temperature compatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePVC construction resists corrosion in wet and chemical environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket-end connections accept standard 2.5-inch PVC pipe with solvent cement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation ball valve for 2.5-inch PVC piping systems using socket-end solvent-cement connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters familiar with PVC solvent-cement procedures. Depressurize and drain the line fully before removing or installing the valve. Follow solvent-cement cure times specified by the cement manufacturer and applicable IPC requirements before returning the system to pressure. Do not exceed the pressure and temperature ratings for the valve material when selecting this fitting for a given application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeat Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: PTFE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeal Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: EPDM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Connection\u003c\/strong\u003e: Socket (solvent cement)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnion Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: Tru-Union\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: IPEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 353623\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IPEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233616757042,"sku":"353623","price":287.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307629177.jpg?v=1780104745","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ipex-353623-pvc-tru-union-ball-valve-2-5-in-socket","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
