Ipex 36216 Pvc Sch 80 Socket X Female Adapter 2 in

Product Description

The IPEX 36216 is a 2-inch PVC Schedule 80 socket by female adapter designed for industrial and chemical process piping systems. This fitting connects socket-end pipe to female-threaded components and is manufactured from high-performance PVC that resists corrosion, oxidation, and chemical attack. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides greater pressure ratings than Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding service conditions. The smooth interior bore resists scaling, pitting, and rust buildup over the life of the fitting. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipe fitters install this adapter in process lines, chemical feed systems, and water treatment applications.

This adapter is used in residential, commercial, and industrial piping systems where PVC Schedule 80 fittings are specified. It is well suited for chemical process lines handling acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens. It is also listed with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International for use in potable water systems. Typical installation scenarios include chemical distribution headers, industrial process manifolds, and water treatment infrastructure where a transition from socket-end pipe to a female-threaded port is required.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40 in the same size
• Smooth interior bore resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion throughout service life
• Resistant to a wide range of chemicals including most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• NSF and CSA International listed for use with potable water systems
• Socket by female thread configuration allows connection of plain-end pipe to threaded female ports
• Lower embodied energy than equivalent steel or steel-alloy fittings, reducing material and installation costs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component for PVC Schedule 80 industrial and chemical process piping systems requiring a 2-inch socket by female threaded adapter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified industrial pipe fitters following applicable IPC and local code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting or fitting. Use only PVC-rated solvent cement and primer on socket connections and apply PTFE thread tape or appropriate thread sealant on female threaded joints. Do not apply excessive torque to threaded connections on PVC fittings, as over-tightening can crack the fitting body.
