Ipex 36727 Pvc Sch 80 Reducing Coupling 1-1/2 X 1 in

Product Description

The IPEX 36727 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducing coupling with socket-by-socket end connections, designed for joining dissimilar pipe sizes in industrial and commercial piping systems. It steps down from a 1-1/2 inch socket on one end to a 1 inch socket on the other, making it suited for transition points in pressure piping layouts. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40 at the same nominal size. The PVC construction resists rust, pitting, scaling, and corrosion, keeping interior walls smooth throughout the service life of the fitting. Plumbers and pipefitters working on chemical process, industrial fluid handling, or potable water systems typically specify this component.

This coupling is used in residential, commercial, and industrial PVC piping systems where a reduction in line size is needed at a solvent-welded joint. Typical applications include chemical process lines, water treatment systems, irrigation headers, and industrial fluid distribution. The Schedule 80 rating makes it appropriate for systems operating at elevated pressures compared to standard Schedule 40 service. It is also listed for use in potable water systems, making it a valid choice for plumbing installations subject to NSF and CSA requirements.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure capability versus Schedule 40 at equivalent nominal sizes
• Socket-by-socket (slip) end connections sized 1-1/2 inches by 1 inch for solvent-cement installation
• Smooth interior walls resist rust, scale, pitting, and corrosion over the service life of the fitting
• Listed for potable water service per NSF and CSA International standards
• PVC material provides resistance to ignition and immunity to oxidation
• Manufactured to IPEX dimensional and performance standards, compatible with standard PVC Schedule 80 pipe

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use with standard PVC Schedule 80 pipe and fittings in solvent-welded piping systems. Listed with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International for potable water service.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for solvent-welded PVC systems. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into any existing line. Use only solvent cement and primer rated for Schedule 80 PVC; do not mix solvent products intended for CPVC or ABS. Allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer's instructions before returning the system to service or pressure testing.
