Ipex 36100 Pvc Schedule 80 Socket Coupling 8 Inches

Product Description

The IPEX 36100 is an 8-inch PVC Schedule 80 socket-by-socket coupling engineered for industrial and commercial piping systems. Built to Schedule 80 dimensional standards, it provides greater wall thickness and pressure-bearing capacity compared to Schedule 40 fittings. The coupling connects two pipe sections using solvent-cement socket joints on each end, creating a reliable, leak-resistant joint. It is rated for use with potable water and is listed with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in chemical process lines, industrial fluid systems, and water distribution applications where corrosion resistance and long service life are required.

This coupling is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial applications where PVC piping is specified. Its Schedule 80 rating makes it appropriate for higher-pressure service conditions. The fitting performs reliably across a wide range of chemical environments, including systems handling acids, alcohols, salts, and halogens. It is a direct-connect component used wherever two 8-inch PVC pipe runs must be joined in a straight line without a change in direction.

Key Features

• NSF and CSA International listed for use with potable water systems
• PVC construction resists rust, pitting, scaling, and corrosion, keeping interior walls smooth throughout service life
• Inherent resistance to ignition due to PVC material properties
• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater strength and pressure capacity versus Schedule 40
• Resistant to a wide range of acids, alcohols, salts, and halogens for industrial chemical service
• Manufactured with approximately half the energy required to produce equivalent steel or steel-alloy fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 8-inch PVC Schedule 80 piping systems in industrial, chemical process, and potable water applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely before cutting into any existing piping. Use a compatible PVC Schedule 80 solvent cement and primer as specified for the pipe size and service conditions. Allow full cure time before restoring system pressure.
