Built to Schedule 80 wall thickness, it provides greater pressure ratings and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40 fittings. This union allows piping runs to be disconnected and reconnected without cutting, making it a practical choice for maintenance-intensive systems. It is part of the IPEX Xirtec PVC system, engineered and manufactured to consistent dimensional and performance standards. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in process piping, chemical handling, and potable water systems where corrosion resistance and long service life are priorities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis socket union is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial piping systems where PVC Schedule 80 fittings are specified. It performs in chemical process lines, water treatment systems, industrial fluid handling, and irrigation headers. The 2-inch socket end connections are compatible with standard 2-inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe. Its chemical resistance profile makes it appropriate for systems carrying acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens. It is listed with the National Sanitation Foundation and CSA International, qualifying it for potable water applications where code requires NSF-listed components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 PVC construction resists rust, pitting, scaling, and corrosion on both interior and exterior walls\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSmooth interior walls maintain flow efficiency and resist buildup over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum service temperature of 140 degrees F (60 degrees C) under pressure; 180 degrees F (82 degrees C) for intermittent gravity flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eResistant to most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNSF and CSA International listed for potable water service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSocket union design allows disconnect and reconnect without cutting pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style fitting within the IPEX Xirtec PVC Schedule 80 system.

Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before disconnecting or installing the union. Use only PVC-rated solvent cement and primer on socket ends; do not apply heat or open flame to PVC fittings during installation. Allow full cure time per the solvent cement manufacturer before returning the system to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSchedule\u003c\/strong\u003e: Schedule 80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Socket (solvent weld)\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\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: 36840\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IPEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51347221643570,"sku":"36840","price":32.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553162.jpg?v=1782099450","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ipex-36840-pvc-schedule-80-socket-union-2-inches","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
