Ipex 36605 Pvc Sch 80 Spigot X Socket Bushing 1x1/2 in

Product Description

The IPEX 36605 is a PVC Schedule 80 reducing bushing configured with a spigot inlet and socket outlet, reducing from 1 inch to 1/2 inch. It is designed for industrial and commercial piping systems where chemical resistance, pressure integrity, and long-term durability are required. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40, making this bushing suitable for demanding process piping environments. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters install this fitting as part of pressure-rated PVC piping systems in chemical processing, water treatment, and related industrial applications. The smooth interior bore resists scaling, corrosion, and biological buildup throughout its service life.

This bushing is used in industrial process piping systems requiring reduction from 1-inch to 1/2-inch line size. It is well suited for applications involving acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens. The Schedule 80 pressure rating makes it appropriate for both above-ground and in-wall installations where elevated service pressures are expected. It is also listed for use in potable water systems under NSF and CSA International standards, expanding its suitability to water distribution and plumbing applications in addition to chemical process lines.

Key Features

• PVC Schedule 80 construction provides higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40 for demanding service conditions
• Smooth interior bore resists rust, pitting, scaling, and corrosion across virtually all standard services
• Outstanding chemical resistance to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• Listed with NSF and CSA International as suitable for use in potable water systems
• Lower embodied energy than equivalent steel or steel-alloy fittings, reducing material cost and environmental impact
• Spigot x socket configuration allows direct integration into standard PVC Schedule 80 piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for PVC Schedule 80 spigot x socket piping systems requiring a 1-inch to 1/2-inch reducing bushing.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or industrial pipefitters working on pressure-rated PVC piping systems. Shut down and fully depressurize the piping system before cutting or joining any fitting. Use only PVC Schedule 80-rated solvent cement and primer appropriate for the service conditions, following manufacturer instructions and applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or ASTM D2564 standards. Do not apply heat to seat or adjust this fitting, as PVC Schedule 80 fittings are solvent-weld components only.
