Ipex 36146 Pvc Sch 80 1 in Socket 45 Degree Elbow

Product Description

The IPEX 36146 is a 1-inch PVC Schedule 80 45-degree elbow fitting with socket x socket end connections. It is engineered for industrial and commercial piping systems where directional changes are required without the weight, corrosion risk, or cost of metal fittings. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides the additional pressure-bearing capacity needed in demanding service environments. This fitting is rated for a maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F in pressure service and 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this fitting in chemical process lines, water treatment systems, and general-purpose fluid handling applications.

This elbow is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial piping installations where a 45-degree change in pipe direction is required. Its smooth interior bore resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion across a wide range of service fluids. The fitting is compatible with potable water systems and carries NSF and CSA International listings for that use. It also performs reliably in lines carrying most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens, making it a practical choice for chemical process piping where metal fittings would be subject to degradation.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• Socket x socket end connections for solvent-cement joining
• Max service temperature of 140 degrees F in pressure service and 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow
• Smooth interior bore resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion
• Resistant to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• NSF and CSA International listed for use with potable water

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using solvent-cement socket connections.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters using standard PVC solvent cement and primer per the fitting and solvent manufacturer instructions and applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the line fully before cutting into an existing system. Allow full cure time before pressurizing the joint. Do not apply heat to bend or modify Schedule 80 PVC fittings in the field.
