Ipex 36729 Pvc Schedule 80 Coupling Socket X Socket

Product Description

The IPEX 36729 is a PVC Schedule 80 reducing coupling with socket-by-socket end connections, sized at 2 inches by 1 inch. It is designed for use in industrial and commercial piping systems where higher pressure ratings and superior chemical resistance are required compared to Schedule 40 fittings. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added durability under demanding service conditions. This coupling is installed by licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters working on chemical process lines, water distribution, and other fluid-handling systems that require a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection point.

This coupling is suited for both industrial and commercial applications involving chemical processes, potable water distribution, and general fluid conveyance. Its PVC construction performs well across a wide range of acids, alcohols, salts, and halogens, making it a practical choice for process piping environments. It is also appropriate for potable water service installations where NSF and CSA compliance is required. The smooth interior walls support consistent flow characteristics throughout the service life of the fitting.

Key Features

• PVC Schedule 80 construction provides higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40 for demanding service conditions
• Listed with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International for use with potable water
• Resistant to rust, pitting, scaling, and corrosion, keeping interior walls smooth across virtually all service types
• Resistant to ignition due to PVC material composition
• Immune to oxidation and resistant to photodegradation for extended service life
• Manufactured using approximately half the energy required to produce equivalent steel or steel alloy fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using solvent-cement socket connections in industrial and commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable plumbing codes, including IPC guidelines for solvent-cemented PVC fittings. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting out or joining any fitting. Use only PVC Schedule 80-rated solvent cement and primer appropriate for the service conditions and ambient temperature range. Allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer's instructions before returning the system to service.
