Ipex 36772 Pvc Schedule 80 Socket Tee 1 Inch

Product Description

The IPEX 36772 is a 1-inch PVC Schedule 80 socket tee fitting designed for industrial and commercial piping systems that demand reliable chemical resistance and long service life. Rated for a maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F under pressure and up to 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow, this fitting handles the thermal demands of most process piping applications. The socket-end configuration allows solvent-cement joints at all three ports. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters install this fitting in systems handling acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens where standard metal fittings would corrode or require frequent replacement.

This tee is well suited for chemical process lines, industrial fluid handling, water treatment, and potable water distribution. The smooth interior bore minimizes friction loss and resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion across virtually all common service fluids. NSF and CSA International listing confirms suitability for potable water service, making it a viable choice for both industrial process work and plumbing installations where Schedule 80 wall thickness is required for mechanical strength or code compliance.

Key Features

• Maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F in pressure service and 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow
• Socket (solvent-cement) connections on all three ports for secure, leak-resistant joints
• Smooth interior bore resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion in virtually all services
• Outstanding chemical resistance to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• Listed by NSF and CSA International for use with potable water
• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides greater wall thickness and pressure rating than Schedule 40

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 1-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using solvent-cement socket joints in industrial, chemical process, and potable water applications.

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 system fully before cutting into an existing line. Use a PVC-rated primer and solvent cement rated for Schedule 80 fittings, and allow full cure time before restoring pressure. Do not exceed the rated service temperature or pressure for the fitting size and schedule.
