1/2-Inch Schedule 80 Socket Union
This Chemtrol socket union connects two sections of 1/2-inch Schedule 80 pipe in a straight line. The polyvinylidene fluoride body handles temperatures from 73 to 280 degrees Fahrenheit and pressures up to 1360 PSI. It suits industrial fluid-handling systems that require a removable joint rated for high-temperature chemical service.
Solvent-Weld Installation With Included Seal
The socket ends accept Schedule 80 pipe for solvent welding using standard primer and cement procedures. A seal is supplied in the box, so no separate gasket purchase is needed. The joint must be fully cured before pressurisation; insufficient cure time or misaligned pipe ends are the most common causes of leaks at the socket face.
1360 PSI Rating at 73 Degrees Fahrenheit
At the baseline temperature of 73 degrees Fahrenheit the fitting holds its full 1360 PSI rating. Pressure capacity decreases as the fluid temperature rises toward the 280-degree upper limit, so designers must derate the system accordingly. The union is not intended for service above 280 degrees Fahrenheit or for pipe schedules other than Schedule 80.
