Ipex 36802 Pvc Schedule 80 Socket Tee 3x2 in

Product Description

The IPEX 36802 is a Schedule 80 PVC socket tee fitting designed for industrial and commercial piping systems where durability and chemical resistance are critical. Sized at 3 inches by 2 inches, this reducing tee connects branch lines to main runs using solvent-cement socket joints. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides a higher pressure rating than Schedule 40 equivalents, making it suitable for demanding process piping applications. Rated for continuous service up to 140 degrees F in pressure service, this fitting maintains a smooth interior bore that resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion throughout its service life. It is listed with the National Sanitation Foundation and CSA International for use with potable water.

This fitting is intended for industrial process piping, chemical distribution, water treatment, and plumbing systems where PVC Schedule 80 fittings are specified. Typical installation scenarios include chemical feed lines, plant utilities, and industrial water systems handled by licensed plumbers and pipefitters. The Xirtec PVC system is engineered and dimensionally standardized to integrate consistently across pipe, valves, and fittings from a single manufacturer, reducing compatibility issues common when mixing components from multiple sources.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• Socket end connections sized for solvent-cement joining
• Max continuous service temperature of 140 degrees F in pressure service; 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow
• Resistant to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens
• Smooth interior bore resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion
• NSF and CSA International listed for potable water service

Compatibility

Designed for use within the IPEX Xirtec PVC Schedule 80 piping system. Compatible with Schedule 80 PVC pipe and fittings joined by solvent-cement socket connection per ASTM D2467 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or industrial pipefitter familiar with solvent-cement PVC joining procedures. Depressurize and drain the system fully before cutting into any existing line. Use a PVC-rated primer and solvent cement appropriate for Schedule 80 fittings, and follow cure times before returning the line to service. Comply with applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM standards for solvent-cemented PVC systems.
