Description
Schedule 80 CPVC Coupling (SOC)
Schedule 80 CPVC Coupling (SOC) provides a straight connection between compatible Schedule 80 CPVC pipe sections. The fitting uses socket connections on both ends for solvent-cement joining within a continuous piping run.
The Schedule 80 CPVC socket coupling provides a compact inline connection for joining two compatible pipe sections of the same nominal size. Selection should account for nominal size, socket compatibility, piping alignment, system conditions, and proper CPVC solvent-cement joining procedures.

Coupling Design
The coupling design provides a straight inline connection between two compatible Schedule 80 CPVC pipe sections. Both socket openings are intended for pipe of the same nominal size.
The fitting should be selected to match the adjoining pipe size. Proper piping alignment should be established before the solvent-cement joints are assembled.
Socket Connections
The socket connections accept appropriately sized compatible CPVC pipe at both ends. These connections create the solvent-cement joints that integrate the coupling into the piping run.
Pipe ends and fitting sockets should be clean and properly prepared before assembly. Compatible CPVC primer, solvent cement, insertion procedures, and required cure times should be followed.
Straight Pipe Connection
The straight coupling configuration joins two pipe sections without changing piping direction or nominal size. This makes the fitting suitable for extending compatible CPVC piping runs or connecting pipe sections at an inline joint.
Both pipe sections should align naturally with the coupling before joining. Proper support helps prevent bending loads from being transferred to the finished solvent-cement connections.
Schedule 80 CPVC Application
A Schedule 80 CPVC Coupling provides a molded inline connection for compatible CPVC piping systems. Its two socket ends are designed for properly prepared solvent-cement joints with compatible CPVC pipe.
System temperature, pressure, fluid compatibility, joining requirements, and applicable installation procedures should be reviewed for the intended application. Proper support and alignment should be maintained around the connection.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify both socket connections.
- Confirm matching pipe sizes.
- Check piping alignment before joining.
- Maintain proper support around the coupling.
Our piping specialists can help review nominal size, socket compatibility, adjoining CPVC pipe, joining requirements, and installation alignment before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 CPVC Coupling used for?
It joins two compatible CPVC pipe sections of the same nominal size in a straight piping run.
What does SOC mean?
SOC identifies a socket connection designed to accept compatible CPVC pipe for solvent-cement joining.
How many connections does this coupling have?
The coupling has two socket connections, one at each end of the fitting.
Does this coupling reduce pipe size?
No. A standard coupling connects compatible pipe sections of the same nominal size.
How are the socket connections joined?
The sockets are designed for compatible CPVC solvent-cement joining using appropriate preparation, joining materials, and cure procedures.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm nominal size, socket configuration, adjoining CPVC pipe size, piping alignment, and requirements of the intended system.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify both socket connections.
- Confirm matching pipe sizes.
- Check alignment before installation.
- Use compatible CPVC joining procedures.
