Nomaco PESFCOUP112 Socket Fusion Coupling 1-1/2 Inch Ips

Product Description

The NOMACO PESFCOUP112 is a 1-1/2 inch IPS socket fusion coupling designed for joining polyethylene piping systems using the socket fusion joining method. This fitting creates a permanent, pressure-rated connection by thermally bonding pipe ends into the coupling sockets. It is used in fluid distribution and piping systems where a reliable leak-free joint is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting in both residential and light commercial applications.

This coupling is suited for 1-1/2 inch IPS-dimensioned polyethylene pipe runs where a straight, in-line connection is needed. Socket fusion fittings like this one are common in geothermal loop systems, irrigation distribution lines, and other buried or above-grade PE piping installations. The IPS sizing standard ensures compatibility with pipe from multiple manufacturers dimensioned to the same outside diameter specification.

Key Features

• 1-1/2 inch IPS socket fusion end connections for thermal bonding to PE pipe
• Straight in-line coupling geometry for direct pipe-to-pipe joining
• Socket fusion joining method produces a monolithic, leak-resistant joint
• IPS dimensioning aligns with standard polyethylene pipe outside diameter specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fitting for use with 1-1/2 inch IPS-dimensioned polyethylene pipe systems requiring socket fusion joining.

Installation Notes

Socket fusion fittings are installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters using dedicated socket fusion tooling, including a heating tool, socket and spigot faces sized to the pipe dimension, and a pipe preparation kit. All pressure must be relieved and the system depressurized before cutting into an existing line. Follow the pipe and fitting manufacturer joining procedures for proper heat soak time and hold time to ensure a fully bonded joint. Consult applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements for buried and pressurized PE piping installations.
