Ipex 36572 Pvc Schedule 80 Male Plug 1 Inch

Product Description

The IPEX 36572 is a 1-inch PVC Schedule 80 male plug designed for use in industrial and chemical process piping systems. It is manufactured to Schedule 80 dimensional and pressure standards, providing greater wall thickness and pressure ratings than Schedule 40 fittings. This plug is used to terminate or cap off male-threaded pipe ends in systems where chemical resistance and long service life are required. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters install this fitting in applications involving acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens. The PVC construction delivers corrosion immunity and resistance to rust, pitting, and scale without the maintenance demands of metal alternatives.

This male plug is suited for industrial process piping, chemical handling systems, and other applications where PVC Schedule 80 fittings are specified. It is part of the IPEX Xirtec PVC system, a complete Pipe, Valves and Fittings package engineered and manufactured to consistent quality and dimensional standards by a single manufacturer. This approach eliminates the tolerance and compatibility issues that can arise when mixing components from multiple sources. Typical installations include chemical plants, water treatment facilities, and industrial process lines where aggressive fluid handling and pressure service are routine.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• Resistant to rust, corrosion, pitting, and scale
• Outstanding chemical resistance to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• Maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) under pressure; up to 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) for intermittent gravity flow
• Maintenance-free service life with no special coatings or treatments required
• Part of the Xirtec PVC system — engineered and dimensioned to a single manufacturer standard

Compatibility

Designed for use within the IPEX Xirtec PVC Schedule 80 piping system. Compatible with Schedule 80 PVC pipe and fittings meeting standard dimensional requirements for 1-inch nominal pipe size.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or industrial pipefitters. Depressurize and drain the piping system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Use thread sealant rated for PVC and compatible with the process fluid — do not use petroleum-based compounds that can degrade PVC. Follow applicable plumbing and industrial piping codes, including IPC and ASTM standards referenced in the project specifications.
