Description
Schedule 40 PVC Coupling Deep (SOC)
Schedule 40 PVC Coupling Deep (SOC) provides a straight socket-to-socket connection for joining compatible PVC pipe. The deep socket design provides extended pipe engagement while maintaining a compact inline connection within Schedule 40 PVC piping systems.
The deep socket coupling configuration provides solvent-cement connections on both ends for compatible PVC pipe. Selection should account for nominal size, socket compatibility, required insertion depth, adjoining pipe alignment, joining materials, and installation requirements.

Deep Socket Coupling Design
The deep socket coupling design provides extended socket engagement for compatible PVC pipe. It connects two adjoining pipe sections while maintaining the same straight piping direction through the fitting.
The deeper socket configuration should be considered when preparing and positioning the adjoining pipe sections. Correct insertion and alignment help ensure each pipe end is properly seated within the coupling before the solvent-cement joint sets.
Socket x Socket Connections
The Socket x Socket configuration provides a compatible PVC socket at each end of the coupling. Both connections accept appropriately sized PVC pipe to create a continuous straight-through piping connection.
Pipe ends and fitting sockets should be clean and properly prepared before assembly. Compatible PVC primer, solvent cement, insertion procedures, and required cure times should be followed for both socket connections.
Extended Pipe Engagement
The deep socket configuration provides greater pipe insertion depth than a conventional short socket coupling. This extended engagement distinguishes the fitting from a standard Schedule 40 PVC coupling while retaining a simple inline design.
The required insertion depth should be accounted for when measuring and positioning the piping. Pipe should be inserted correctly into each socket without forcing the completed assembly out of alignment.
Straight PVC Pipe Connection
A Schedule 40 PVC Deep Socket Coupling joins two compatible PVC pipe sections without changing the direction of the piping run. Its straight configuration makes it suitable where an inline socket-to-socket connection is required.
Proper piping alignment and support should be established before solvent-cement assembly. The completed connection should be installed according to compatible PVC joining procedures and the requirements of the intended piping system.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify the deep socket design.
- Confirm Socket x Socket connections.
- Allow for proper pipe insertion depth.
- Maintain proper piping alignment and support.
Our PVC fitting specialists can help review nominal size, deep socket configuration, pipe compatibility, insertion requirements, solvent-cement joining, and installation considerations before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 40 PVC Deep Socket Coupling used for?
It joins two compatible PVC pipe sections in a straight run using deep socket solvent-cement connections.
What connections does this coupling have?
This coupling has Socket x Socket connections designed to accept appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe.
What does SOC mean?
SOC identifies a socket connection designed to accept compatible PVC pipe for solvent-cement joining.
What does deep socket mean?
A deep socket design provides extended pipe insertion and engagement compared with a conventional short socket coupling.
How are the connections joined?
Both sockets are designed for compatible PVC solvent-cement joining using appropriate pipe preparation, primer, solvent cement, insertion procedures, and cure requirements.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the nominal size, deep socket configuration, Socket x Socket connections, adjoining PVC pipe compatibility, and installation requirements.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify the deep socket configuration.
- Confirm both socket connections.
