It connects two pipe ends of equal diameter using a solvent-weld socket connection on each side. Schedule 80 PVC provides greater wall thickness and pressure rating than Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding chemical process, industrial, and potable water applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of pressure-rated PVC piping assemblies. The PVC construction resists rust, pitting, scaling, and corrosion, keeping interior walls smooth throughout the service life of the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis coupling is used in residential and commercial plumbing, chemical process piping, and industrial fluid handling where Schedule 80 PVC is specified. It is suited for systems conveying acids, alcohols, salts, and halogens, as well as potable water service. The socket-by-socket configuration allows in-line joining of two pipe sections in a straight run. It is part of the IPEX Xirtec PVC system, which is engineered and manufactured to consistent dimensional and performance standards across pipe, valves, and fittings from a single manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSocket-by-socket solvent-weld ends for a secure, leak-resistant joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePVC construction resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion, maintaining smooth interior walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNSF and CSA International listed for use with potable water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResistant to ignition due to PVC material composition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufactured with approximately half the energy required to produce equivalent steel or steel-alloy fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems requiring a 2.5-inch socket-by-socket coupling in industrial, chemical process, and potable water applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Depressurize and drain the system completely before cutting or joining any pipe section. Use only PVC-rated solvent cement and primer appropriate for Schedule 80 fittings, and allow full cure time before restoring system pressure. Do not use heat-fusion methods on PVC fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: Schedule 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Socket x Socket (Solvent Weld)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: NSF listed for potable water, CSA International listed\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: 36096\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IPEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51268036952370,"sku":"36096","price":24.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/308913544.jpg?v=1780697569","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ipex-36096-pvc-sch-80-socket-coupling-2-5-in","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
