Sch80 COUPLING (SOC x SOC)
Product Overview
System shutdowns during peak summer heat or failed inspections due to pressure rating violations can derail your project schedule and damage your reputation. A single cracked coupling in a high pressure mainline leads to wasted water and turf damage, often requiring emergency repairs when your crews are already overbooked. With seasonal demand spikes and unpredictable supply chain shortages, waiting until the point of failure is a risk to your bottom line. Securing your inventory of heavy duty fittings now ensures your projects stay on schedule and your clients remain satisfied throughout the demanding irrigation season.
The Lesso Schedule 80 PVC coupling provides a significant technical advantage over standard Schedule 40 options by offering thicker walls designed to handle higher internal pressures and external stresses. These fittings reduce long term maintenance costs by minimizing the risk of stress cracking and joint failure in demanding environments. By standardizing your installs with Lesso fittings, you save labor by reducing call backs and provide a more robust system compared to competitors using lower grade materials. Being well stocked with high performance components gives you the competitive edge needed for industrial and commercial projects.

Key Features
- Thicker wall construction provides superior burst pressure resistance compared to standard PVC fittings.
- Smooth internal finish reduces friction loss and prevents sediment buildup over time.
- Precision molded socket connections ensure a tight, leak proof solvent weld every time.
- UV resistant dark gray PVC material maintains structural integrity even in exposed outdoor settings.
- High chemical resistance makes these couplings ideal for fertigation and water treatment lines.
- Manufactured to strict ASTM standards to guarantee consistent dimensions and reliable field performance.
Common Applications
- Commercial landscape irrigation
- Agricultural and crop irrigation

- Municipal parks and public spaces
- Greenhouse and nursery operations
- Chemical/fertigation delivery
Installation Notes
Installation requires a standard PVC primer and heavy bodied solvent cement specifically formulated for Schedule 80 materials to ensure proper joint fusion. Always cut pipe ends square and remove all burrs before dry fitting to confirm proper socket depth. Follow manufacturer cure times based on ambient temperature and humidity before performing a pressure test on the system. All work must comply with local plumbing codes and IAPMO standards for high pressure water distribution.
