Schedule 80 PVC offers thicker walls than Schedule 40, making it suitable for higher-pressure applications. The socket end configuration allows for solvent-cement joining, producing a permanent, leak-tight connection. This fitting is rated for a maximum service temperature of 140 degrees F in pressure service and up to 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow. It is installed by licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters working on process piping, chemical handling, and water treatment systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis union is well-suited for residential, commercial, and industrial piping installations where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are critical. Typical applications include chemical process lines, water treatment facilities, industrial fluid handling, and potable water systems. The fitting is listed with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International for use with potable water. Its smooth interior walls minimize friction loss and resist scale and deposit buildup over extended service cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSchedule 80 PVC construction with thicker walls for higher-pressure service\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum service temperature of 140 degrees F in pressure applications and 180 degrees F for intermittent gravity flow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eResistant to rust, pitting, scale, and corrosion on both interior and exterior surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, and halogens\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNSF and CSA International listed for potable water use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSocket union design allows for disassembly and reassembly without cutting pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use in 4-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems.

Shut off and depressurize the system fully before cutting into an existing line. Use only PVC-compatible solvent cement rated for Schedule 80 fittings, and allow full cure time before returning the system to service. The union design permits future disassembly for maintenance without disturbing the solvent-cemented pipe runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)\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 Union\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  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChemical Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e: Most acids, alcohols, alkalis, salt solutions, halogens\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: 36843\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"IPEX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51268217340210,"sku":"36843","price":74.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/308913484.jpg?v=1780701940","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/ipex-36843-pvc-schedule-80-socket-union-4-inches","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
