Ipex 36574 Pvc Schedule 80 Male Plug 1-1/2 Inches

Product Description

The IPEX 36574 is a 1-1/2 inch PVC Schedule 80 male plug designed for industrial and chemical process piping systems. This fitting provides a secure, pressure-rated closure for open pipe ends and threaded fittings in Schedule 80 PVC piping runs. Manufactured to IPEX dimensional and performance standards, it offers a maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F in pressure service and up to 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this plug in systems handling acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens where metal fittings are unsuitable due to corrosion concerns.

The 36574 is suited for use in industrial process piping, chemical handling systems, and other applications where Schedule 80 PVC is specified for its heavier wall thickness and higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit installations in facilities requiring corrosion-resistant, low-maintenance piping components. The fitting integrates within the IPEX Xirtec PVC system, which is engineered as a complete pipe, valves, and fittings package from a single manufacturer to ensure dimensional consistency across all system components.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure and impact ratings versus Schedule 40
• Max service temperature of 140 degrees F in pressure applications
• Rated up to 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow service
• Resistant to rust, pitting, scaling, and corrosion
• Compatible with acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• Maintenance-free service life with no oxidation concerns

Compatibility

Designed for use within Schedule 80 PVC piping systems and compatible with the IPEX Xirtec PVC system for industrial and chemical process applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with PVC Schedule 80 threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant rated for PVC and the specific chemical media in the system. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as PVC fittings can crack under excessive force. Verify that the operating temperature and pressure of the system fall within the rated limits of the fitting before placing the line into service.
