Ipex 36611 Pvc Sch 80 Spigot X Socket Bushing 1-1/2 X 3/4 in

Product Description

The IPEX 36611 is a PVC Schedule 80 reducing bushing with a spigot inlet and socket outlet, designed for use in industrial and commercial piping systems. It transitions from a 1-1/2 inch spigot connection down to a 3/4 inch socket connection. Schedule 80 PVC construction delivers heavier wall thickness and higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40, making it well suited for chemical process lines, industrial fluid handling, and other demanding service environments. The smooth interior bore resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion throughout its service life. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters are the typical installers for this fitting type.

This bushing is used wherever a piping run must be reduced from 1-1/2 inches to 3/4 inches within a PVC Schedule 80 system. Common applications include chemical processing, water treatment, industrial process lines, and commercial plumbing installations where resistance to acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens is required. The fitting is listed with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International for use with potable water, broadening its range of approved service environments.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides heavier wall thickness and higher pressure capability than Schedule 40
• Smooth interior bore resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion in virtually every service environment
• Outstanding chemical resistance to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• NSF and CSA International listed for potable water service
• Spigot x socket configuration allows direct integration into existing Schedule 80 PVC systems
• Lower installation weight compared to metal alternatives, with no risk of galvanic corrosion

Compatibility

Designed for use within PVC Schedule 80 piping systems requiring a 1-1/2 inch spigot to 3/4 inch socket reducing connection. Compatible with the IPEX Xirtec PVC system and other standard Schedule 80 PVC pipe and fittings manufactured to ASTM dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for PVC solvent-cement joining. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into any existing line. Use only PVC-rated solvent cement and primer appropriate for Schedule 80 fittings, and allow full cure time before restoring system pressure. Do not use this fitting with incompatible solvents or in applications involving temperatures or pressures that exceed the rated limits of Schedule 80 PVC.
