Ipex 36573 Pvc Schedule 80 Male Plug 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The IPEX 36573 is a PVC Schedule 80 male plug sized at 1-1/4 inches, designed for use in industrial and chemical process piping systems. This fitting seals open pipe ends in pressure and gravity-flow configurations and is manufactured to Schedule 80 dimensional standards for consistent fitment and reliable performance. PVC construction provides long-term service with no maintenance requirements, and the material resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion throughout its service life. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters install this plug as part of complete pipe, valve, and fitting assemblies in demanding environments where metal fittings are subject to chemical attack.

This plug is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, industrial process piping, and chemical handling systems where PVC Schedule 80 components are specified. It performs well in systems conveying acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens. The 1-1/4 inch size fits standard Schedule 80 PVC pipe of the same nominal diameter and is appropriate for both pressure and intermittent gravity-flow service within rated temperature limits.

Key Features

• PVC Schedule 80 construction — maintenance-free with no rust, pitting, scale, or corrosion
• Maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) in pressure applications
• Rated to 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) for intermittent gravity-flow service
• Outstanding chemical resistance to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• Engineered to strict dimensional standards for consistent fit in Schedule 80 PVC systems
• Long service life as a low-maintenance alternative to metal fittings in corrosive environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/4 inch PVC Schedule 80 piping systems used in industrial, chemical process, and commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified industrial pipefitters in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Use appropriate PVC Schedule 80 solvent cement and primer per the cement manufacturer instructions and local code requirements. Do not exceed the rated temperature or pressure limits for the fitting size and schedule.
