Ipex 36152 Pvc Sch 80 45 Degree Elbow Socket X Socket 4 in

Product Description

The IPEX 36152 is a 4-inch PVC Schedule 80 45-degree elbow with a socket x socket connection. It is part of the Xirtec PVC industrial piping system, engineered for chemical process, industrial, and potable water applications. The fitting handles a maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F in pressure service and up to 180 degrees F during intermittent gravity flow. Designed and manufactured to a single set of dimensional and performance standards, it eliminates the tolerance mismatches common when mixing components from multiple suppliers. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in process piping and water distribution systems.

This elbow is suited for industrial process lines handling acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens, as well as potable water distribution systems. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it a common choice for higher-pressure runs or applications where additional mechanical strength is needed at connection points. It is used in both new construction and retrofit projects in commercial and industrial facilities.

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, scaling, and corrosion throughout service life
• Chemical resistance to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• Listed with NSF and CSA International for use with potable water systems
• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides increased wall thickness for higher-pressure and higher-impact applications
• Socket x socket end connections for solvent-cemented assembly

Compatibility

Designed for use within the Xirtec PVC Schedule 80 piping system. Compatible with standard 4-inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe and fittings meeting ASTM dimensional standards for solvent-cement socket connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with PVC solvent-cement joining procedures. Shut off and depressurize the line before cutting or joining any section. Use only PVC-compatible primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 80 fittings, and follow applicable plumbing codes including IPC requirements for joint cure time before pressurizing. Do not apply heat or open flame to PVC fittings during installation.
