Ipex 36150 Pvc Sch 80 45 Elbow Socket X Socket 2.5 in

Product Description

The IPEX 36150 is a 2.5-inch PVC Schedule 80 45-degree elbow with socket x socket end connections. It is designed for industrial and commercial piping systems that require reliable directional changes with resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and environmental stress. The fitting carries a maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F in pressure applications and 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this elbow as part of a complete pressure-rated PVC piping system, where metal corrosion or chemical incompatibility rules out metallic alternatives.

This elbow is suited for chemical process piping, industrial fluid handling, and potable water distribution. Its Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for applications with elevated operating pressures or mechanical stress. The socket x socket configuration accepts solvent-cemented joints on both ends, which is the standard connection method for PVC pressure systems. It is listed with NSF and CSA International for use with potable water, broadening its use across industrial, municipal, and commercial plumbing installations.

Key Features

• Maximum 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 throughout service life
• Resistant to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• NSF and CSA International listed for potable water service
• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides greater wall thickness and pressure rating than Schedule 40
• Socket x socket ends accept standard solvent-cement joints for a permanent, leak-resistant connection

Compatibility

Designed for use with 2.5-inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe and fittings in pressure piping systems. Listed with NSF and CSA International for potable water applications. Compatible with standard PVC solvent cement and primer per manufacturer and code requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes, including IPC requirements for PVC pressure piping. Shut off system pressure and drain the line before cutting into an existing system. Solvent-cement both socket ends using a PVC primer and cement rated for Schedule 80 fittings, and allow full cure time before returning the system to service. Do not apply heat or open flame to PVC fittings during installation.
