Ipex 36735 Pvc Schedule 80 Coupling 3 X 2 Inches

Product Description

The IPEX 36735 is a Schedule 80 PVC reducing coupling with socket-by-socket end connections, designed for use in industrial and commercial piping systems. Manufactured to Schedule 80 pressure ratings, this fitting accommodates a 3-inch by 2-inch reducing configuration and is suited for chemical process lines, industrial fluid transfer, and other demanding service environments. PVC construction delivers strong resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and chemical attack across a wide range of acids, alcohols, salts, and halogens. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters install this fitting as part of complete PVC pressure piping assemblies requiring a reliable, long-service-life alternative to metal fittings.

The IPEX 36735 is appropriate for industrial process piping, chemical handling systems, and commercial plumbing applications where Schedule 80 pressure ratings are required. Its socket-by-socket design accepts solvent-cement joints on both ends. The fitting is rated for use with potable water and carries NSF and CSA International listings, making it suitable for installations subject to those certification requirements in addition to standard industrial service.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides elevated pressure and impact resistance compared to Schedule 40
• Socket-by-socket (slip) ends accept standard solvent-cement joints on both sides
• Smooth interior walls resist rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion throughout service life
• Listed with NSF and CSA International as suitable for use with potable water
• Inherent resistance to ignition due to PVC material composition
• Manufactured using approximately half the energy required to produce equivalent steel or steel-alloy fittings

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Schedule 80 PVC socket coupling for use within the IPEX Xirtec PVC pressure piping system and compatible with standard Schedule 80 PVC pipe and fittings meeting ASTM dimensional standards for 3-inch by 2-inch reducing configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipe fitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before cutting into an existing line. Use only PVC-rated solvent cement and primer appropriate for Schedule 80 fittings, and allow full cure time before returning the system to service. Do not apply heat to solvent-cement joints to accelerate cure.
