It provides a removable, leak-resistant connection point in pressure-rated PVC lines, allowing sections of pipe to be disconnected without cutting. Built to Schedule 80 wall thickness, this union handles higher pressures than Schedule 40 alternatives and maintains dimensional consistency with other IPEX Xirtec PVC system components. The PVC construction resists rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion on both interior and exterior surfaces, keeping flow paths smooth. Maximum service temperature is 140 degrees F in pressure service and 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket union is suited for chemical processing plants, industrial fluid handling, water treatment, and plumbing systems where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. The socket-style ends accept standard 1\/2-inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe with solvent cement. It is listed with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International for use with potable water, extending its suitability to commercial and industrial water distribution applications. It is part of the IPEX Xirtec PVC system, a single-manufacturer pipe, valves, and fittings package designed to eliminate dimensional and performance inconsistencies that arise when mixing components from multiple suppliers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 PVC construction rated for higher working pressures than Schedule 40\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSocket union design allows in-line disconnection without cutting pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eResistant to rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion on interior and exterior walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChemical resistance covers most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMax pressure service temperature of 140 degrees F; intermittent gravity flow rated to 180 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNSF and CSA International listed for potable water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use within the IPEX Xirtec PVC Schedule 80 pipe, valves, and fittings system.

Depressurize and drain the line completely before disassembling or installing any union fitting. Use a PVC-rated solvent cement and primer appropriate for Schedule 80 fittings; allow full cure time before returning the line to service. Do not exceed the rated service temperature or pressure for this fitting size and material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: Schedule 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Socket (solvent cement)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Service Temperature (Pressure)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 140 degrees F (60 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Service Temperature (Intermittent Gravity Flow)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 180 degrees F (82 degrees C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChemical Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, halogens\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications\u003c\/strong\u003e: NSF listed, CSA International listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: IPEX\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 36835\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IPEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51268642472242,"sku":"36835","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/308913527.jpg?v=1780704791","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ipex-36835-pvc-schedule-80-socket-union-1-2-inch","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
