Ipex 9897012 Cpvc Schedule 80 Socket Union 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The IPEX 9897012 is a 1-1/4 inch CPVC Schedule 80 socket union designed for industrial and chemical process piping systems. Manufactured from Corzan chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, this fitting delivers exceptional resistance to corrosion, oxidation, and a broad range of aggressive chemicals including acids, alcohols, alkalies, salt solutions, and halogens. Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added pressure-bearing capacity compared to Schedule 40, making it well suited for demanding service conditions. Licensed plumbers and industrial pipefitters install this union where a removable, leak-free connection is required in thermoplastic piping runs handling corrosive or high-purity fluids.

This socket union is used in chemical processing plants, industrial fluid handling systems, and potable water distribution lines where metal piping is prone to corrosion or galvanic degradation. The Corzan CPVC material resists damage from naturally corrosive soil conditions, making it a reliable choice for underground installations as well as above-grade chemical service lines. It fits into the broader IPEX Corzan pipe, valves, and fittings system, which is engineered and dimensioned to a single manufacturer standard, eliminating the dimensional inconsistencies that can arise when mixing components from multiple suppliers.

Key Features

• Corzan CPVC material provides immunity to electrochemical and galvanic corrosion
• Outstanding chemical resistance to most acids, alcohols, alkalies, salt solutions, and halogens
• Smooth interior walls do not rust, pit, scale, or corrode, maintaining consistent flow over service life
• Lower thermal conductivity than metal piping, sustaining service temperature more efficiently
• NSF and CSA International listed for potable water service
• Schedule 80 construction for higher pressure ratings in demanding industrial applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard component within the IPEX Corzan Schedule 80 CPVC pipe, valves, and fittings system for 1-1/4 inch pipe diameter applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified industrial pipefitter familiar with thermoplastic solvent-cement joining procedures. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing or installing any union. Use only CPVC-compatible solvent cement and primer rated for Schedule 80 fittings; do not substitute PVC cement. Follow applicable plumbing codes, including IPC and local authority requirements, for chemical service or potable water installations.
