Ipex 36183 Pvc Sch 80 90 Elbow Socket X Socket 1 Inch

Product Description

The IPEX 36183 is a 1-inch PVC Schedule 80 90-degree elbow with socket-by-socket end connections. It is part of the Xirtec PVC industrial piping system, engineered for chemical process piping, industrial fluid handling, and other demanding pressure applications. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure ratings than Schedule 40 fittings of the same size, making it a common choice where elevated system pressures or mechanical protection are required. This fitting handles a maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F under pressure conditions and up to 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters install this fitting using solvent cement joining in compliance with applicable plumbing and mechanical codes.

The IPEX 36183 is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, chemical process lines, industrial fluid distribution, and water treatment applications where PVC is an approved material. It is listed with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International for use with potable water systems. Its smooth interior bore resists rust, pitting, scaling, and corrosion across a broad range of service fluids. It is appropriate for use with most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens, making it a practical choice for industrial and chemical process environments.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 1-inch PVC Schedule 80 solvent-weld piping systems, including the IPEX Xirtec PVC industrial pipe and fittings system.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber or industrial pipefitter using standard PVC solvent cement and primer rated for Schedule 80 fittings. Ensure the pipe and fitting socket are clean, dry, and free of debris before applying primer and cement. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and the fitting manufacturer joining procedures for cure time before pressurizing the system. De-pressurize and drain the line completely before cutting into an existing system to make this fitting installation.
