Ipex 36058 Pvc Schedule 80 Socket Cap 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The IPEX 36058 is a 1/2-inch PVC Schedule 80 socket cap designed to terminate the end of a pipe run in industrial and commercial piping systems. Built to Schedule 80 dimensional and pressure standards, it provides a thicker wall profile than Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-pressure service conditions. The cap accepts a socket-style connection and is manufactured from rigid PVC with a maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F under pressure conditions. Plumbers and pipefitters working on chemical process lines, water treatment, and industrial fluid systems are the primary installers of this fitting.

This cap is suited for use in chemical process piping, industrial fluid distribution, and other applications where resistance to corrosion and chemical attack is required. PVC Schedule 80 fittings perform well in systems handling most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens. The socket cap is appropriate for both residential and commercial installations where a permanent, maintenance-free pipe termination is needed. It is sized at 1/2 inch to match standard half-inch pipe schedules.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher-pressure service versus Schedule 40
• Maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) under pressure; 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) for intermittent gravity flow
• Resistant to rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion — no metal components to degrade
• Outstanding chemical resistance to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• Maintenance-free service life with no painting, coating, or cathodic protection required
• Socket end connection for standard solvent-cement joining

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use with 1/2-inch PVC Schedule 80 piping systems in industrial and chemical process applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. De-pressurize and drain the piping system completely before cutting into any existing line or installing new fittings. Socket connections require proper solvent cement rated for PVC Schedule 80; follow cement manufacturer cure times before restoring system pressure. Avoid using this fitting beyond its rated temperature or pressure limits.
