Ipex 36794 Pvc Schedule 80 Socket Tee 1-1/4 X 1 in

Product Description

The IPEX 36794 is a PVC Schedule 80 socket tee fitting designed for industrial and commercial piping systems. Manufactured to Schedule 80 dimensional standards, this reducing tee connects a 1-1/4-inch run with a 1-inch branch using solvent-weld socket ends. PVC Schedule 80 provides greater wall thickness and pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for higher-demand process piping environments. The fitting resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion, and the smooth interior bore supports consistent flow characteristics across a wide range of service conditions. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters install this fitting in chemical process, water treatment, and general industrial fluid-handling systems.

This fitting is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial piping applications where chemical resistance and durability are required. It is rated for use with potable water and carries listings from the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International. Typical applications include chemical process lines, industrial fluid transfer, irrigation headers, and water treatment distribution. The fitting performs reliably in contact with most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens, making it a practical choice for corrosive service environments where metal fittings would be subject to degradation.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction with greater wall thickness than Schedule 40 for higher-pressure service
• Max service temperature of 140 degrees F in pressure service and 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow
• Smooth interior bore resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion throughout service life
• NSF and CSA International listed for use with potable water systems
• Chemically resistant to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• Socket (solvent-weld) end connections for secure, leak-resistant joints

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Schedule 80 PVC socket fitting for use in industrial, commercial, and chemical process piping systems requiring 1-1/4-inch run by 1-inch branch reducing tee connections with solvent-weld joints.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified industrial pipefitters following applicable plumbing and process piping codes, including IPC guidelines. Before cutting into an existing line, shut off flow and relieve system pressure completely. Use only PVC Schedule 80-rated solvent cement and primer appropriate for the service environment and follow manufacturer cure times before returning the line to service. Do not apply heat or flame to PVC fittings during installation.
