Ipex 36774 Pvc Schedule 80 Socket Tee 1-1/2 Inches

Product Description

The IPEX 36774 is a 1-1/2 inch PVC Schedule 80 Socket Tee designed for industrial and commercial piping systems where chemical resistance and pressure performance are required. This fitting is manufactured from rigid PVC to Schedule 80 wall thickness, giving it greater pressure ratings than Schedule 40 equivalents at the same nominal diameter. It is rated for service up to 140 degrees F under pressure conditions and up to 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow applications. The socket-style end connections accept solvent-cement joints, making assembly straightforward for licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on process or utility piping.

This tee is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, chemical process lines, industrial fluid handling, and water treatment installations where metal piping would be vulnerable to corrosion or chemical attack. The Schedule 80 wall construction makes it appropriate for higher-pressure service runs as well as standard drain, waste, and vent configurations. It is listed with the National Sanitation Foundation and CSA International for use with potable water systems, expanding its range of approved applications beyond industrial process work.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness provides higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40 at 1-1/2 inch nominal size
• Maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F under pressure and 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow
• Smooth interior bore resists rust, pitting, scaling, and corrosion across virtually all service conditions
• Outstanding chemical resistance to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• NSF and CSA International listed for potable water service
• Manufactured to IPEX dimensional and performance standards for consistent fit within the Xirtec PVC system

Compatibility

Designed for use within the IPEX Xirtec PVC piping system and compatible with standard 1-1/2 inch PVC Schedule 80 pipe and fittings manufactured to ASTM dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM solvent-cement joining procedures. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting into an existing line. Use a PVC-rated primer and solvent cement appropriate for Schedule 80 fittings and allow full cure time before returning the system to service. Do not exceed the temperature or pressure ratings specified for this fitting.
