Ipex 9897010 Cpvc Schedule 80 Socket Union 1 Inch

Product Description

The IPEX 9897010 is a 1-inch CPVC Schedule 80 socket union designed for use in industrial and chemical process piping systems. Manufactured from Corzan chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), this union provides a reliable, removable joint connection that resists corrosion, oxidation, and photodegradation. Schedule 80 wall thickness gives it the pressure rating needed for demanding service conditions. The socket end configuration allows for solvent-cement joining, producing a leak-tight connection without threading. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters install this fitting where periodic system disassembly is required without cutting the pipe.

This union is suited for chemical processing, water treatment, industrial fluid handling, and other applications where metal piping is vulnerable to corrosion or galvanic attack. Corzan CPVC is approved for potable water service as listed with the National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and CSA International, extending its use to commercial and municipal water systems. It performs well in underground installations where corrosive soil conditions would degrade metal alternatives. The 1-inch size fits common process and plumbing branch lines in both new construction and retrofit projects.

Key Features

• Corzan CPVC construction provides immunity to electrochemical and galvanic corrosion
• Schedule 80 wall thickness supports elevated pressure ratings versus Schedule 40
• Socket end connection accepts solvent-cement bonding for a permanent, leak-tight joint
• Union design allows removal and reinstallation without cutting pipe
• NSF and CSA International listed for potable water service
• Lower roughness factor than metal pipe maintains flow efficiency over the service life
• Resistant to most acids, alcohols, alkalies, salt solutions, and halogens

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch CPVC Schedule 80 piping systems used in industrial, chemical process, and potable water applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable IPC and local plumbing code requirements. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before disassembly or joining. Use only CPVC-rated solvent cement and primer on socket connections; do not use PVC-only cement on CPVC fittings. Allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer before returning the line to service.
