Ipex 9801015 Cpvc Schedule 80 Socket Tee 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The IPEX 9801015 is a 1-1/2-inch CPVC Schedule 80 socket tee designed for industrial and chemical process piping systems. Manufactured from Corzan chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), this fitting delivers exceptional resistance to a wide range of acids, alcohols, alkalies, salt solutions, and halogens. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it appropriate for demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in systems where metal corrosion, galvanic reactions, or aggressive chemical exposure would degrade standard metallic fittings. It is suited for both aboveground and underground installations.

This socket tee is intended for use in industrial process piping, chemical handling, and water treatment applications where corrosion resistance and extended service life are required. The Corzan CPVC material is listed with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International for potable water service, broadening its range of acceptable applications. Its smooth interior walls do not rust, pit, scale, or corrode, maintaining consistent flow performance over the life of the installation. The fitting is part of the IPEX Corzan PVF system, which integrates pipe, valves, and fittings from a single manufacturer to a consistent dimensional standard.

Key Features

• Corzan CPVC construction provides immunity to electrochemical and galvanic corrosion, including in corrosive soil conditions
• Exceptional chemical resistance to most acids, alcohols, alkalies, salt solutions, and halogens
• NSF and CSA International listed for potable water service
• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• Smooth interior bore maintains flow efficiency and resists scaling over long service life
• Lower thermal conductivity than metal piping reduces heat loss or gain in temperature-sensitive systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-compatible component within the IPEX Corzan CPVC Schedule 80 pipe, valves, and fittings system. Manufactured to consistent dimensional standards for use with other Schedule 80 CPVC socket-connect components meeting standard CPVC fitting dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter familiar with CPVC solvent-cement joining procedures. Shut off and depressurize the system completely before cutting or joining any section. Use only CPVC-rated solvent cement and primer rated for Schedule 80 applications. Refer to applicable plumbing codes, including IPC and local amendments, for support spacing, expansion allowances, and underground burial requirements.
