Ipex 36571 Pvc Schedule 80 Male Plug 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The IPEX 36571 is a 3/4 inch PVC Schedule 80 male plug designed for industrial and chemical process piping systems. This fitting provides a threaded closure for open pipe ends and ports in Schedule 80 PVC piping networks. Manufactured to strict dimensional and performance standards, the 36571 delivers long-term, maintenance-free service with outstanding resistance to rust, corrosion, pitting, and scale. It handles a maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F in pressure service and up to 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of fitting in systems handling corrosive media where metal components would degrade over time.

This male plug is suited for chemical process piping, industrial fluid handling, and other applications where resistance to acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens is required. It is appropriate for both commercial and industrial installations that specify Schedule 80 PVC components throughout the system. Its threaded design allows straightforward installation into any matching female-threaded Schedule 80 PVC fitting or valve body, making it a practical option for system isolation, pressure testing, or permanent port closure.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides greater wall thickness and pressure rating than Schedule 40 equivalents
• Maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F in pressure applications and 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow
• Resistant to rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion — no protective coatings required
• Chemically resistant to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• Maintenance-free service life with no oxidation concerns
• Manufactured to consistent dimensional standards for reliable fit in Schedule 80 PVC systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use in Schedule 80 PVC piping systems requiring a 3/4 inch male threaded plug closure.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for PVC and the media being conveyed. Do not overtighten threaded PVC fittings — hand-tight plus one to two turns with a strap wrench is standard practice to avoid cracking the fitting body.
