Ipex 36669 Pvc Schedule 80 Male X Female Bushing

Product Description

The IPEX 36669 is a PVC Schedule 80 male x female reducing bushing designed for industrial and commercial piping systems. It reduces a 2-inch male connection to a 1-1/2-inch female socket, allowing transitions between pipe sizes within a Schedule 80 system. Built to IPEX dimensional and performance standards, this bushing resists corrosion, oxidation, and chemical attack from a broad range of process fluids. It is suited for chemical processing, water treatment, and other industrial fluid-handling applications where metal fittings are prone to corrosion or require excessive maintenance. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this component as part of a complete PVC piping system.

This bushing is intended for use in industrial and commercial piping installations where Schedule 80 PVC fittings are specified. Typical applications include chemical process lines, potable water distribution, salt solution handling, and systems conveying acids, alcohols, alkalis, or halogens. It is part of the IPEX Xirtec PVC system, a complete Pipe, Valves and Fittings package engineered and manufactured to consistent dimensional standards by a single manufacturer, reducing the compatibility issues associated with multi-source component purchasing.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides greater wall thickness and pressure rating than Schedule 40
• Resistant to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• Smooth interior bore resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion buildup
• Listed with NSF and CSA International for use with potable water systems
• Manufactured with significantly less energy than equivalent steel or steel-alloy fittings
• Engineered to IPEX dimensional standards for consistent fit within the Xirtec PVC system

Compatibility

Designed for use within Schedule 80 PVC piping systems as an OEM-style reducing bushing. Compatible with standard 2-inch male Schedule 80 PVC pipe and 1-1/2-inch female Schedule 80 PVC fittings or pipe ends.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into any existing line. Use a PVC-rated solvent cement appropriate for Schedule 80 fittings and allow full cure time before pressurizing the system. Do not apply heat to ease assembly, as this can compromise the dimensional integrity of Schedule 80 PVC components.
