Ipex 36422 Pvc Schedule 80 Socket X Male Adapter 1 in

Product Description

The IPEX 36422 is a 1-inch PVC Schedule 80 Socket x Male Adapter designed for industrial and commercial piping systems that demand chemical resistance and long-term durability. Manufactured to Schedule 80 dimensional standards, this adapter connects socket-end pipe or fittings to male-threaded components, serving as a transition point within a pressurized PVC system. The smooth interior bore resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion throughout its service life. It is engineered for use in chemical process piping, industrial fluid handling, and potable water systems, and is listed with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International for potable water service.

This adapter is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial installations where Schedule 80 PVC piping is specified. Common applications include chemical processing lines, irrigation systems, water treatment facilities, and industrial plumbing runs where resistance to acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens is required. It is part of the IPEX Xirtec PVC system, engineered and manufactured to consistent quality, performance, and dimensional standards by a single manufacturer, reducing compatibility issues common when mixing multi-source components.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides a smooth interior bore resistant to rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion
• Exceptional chemical resistance to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• Listed with NSF and CSA International for potable water applications
• Socket x Male thread configuration allows transition between socket-end and male-threaded piping components
• Manufactured to consistent dimensional standards within the IPEX Xirtec PVC system for reliable fit with system components
• Lower embodied energy compared to equivalent steel or steel-alloy fittings, reducing environmental impact

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems. Compatible within the IPEX Xirtec PVC system and engineered to meet standard Schedule 80 dimensional requirements for socket and male-threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for PVC solvent-cement joints. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before cutting or joining any components. Use only PVC-rated solvent cement and primer appropriate for Schedule 80 wall thickness on the socket end, and apply PTFE thread tape or approved pipe thread sealant on the male-threaded connection. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as PVC fittings are susceptible to cracking under excessive mechanical stress.
