Sch80 PLUG (SPIG)
Product Overview
A missing or failed plug in a high pressure line can cause immediate system shutdowns and catastrophic water waste during the peak of the irrigation season. When summer heat is at its highest, your clients cannot afford the turf damage or crop loss that occurs while waiting for a back ordered fitting. Supply shortages often strike when project deadlines are tightest; however, securing your inventory now prevents failed inspections and costly emergency service calls. Having the right Lesso Schedule 80 fittings on hand ensures your projects stay on schedule and your reputation for reliability remains intact.
Lesso Schedule 80 spigot plugs offer a significant technical advantage over standard Schedule 40 alternatives. The thicker wall construction provides superior burst pressure ratings and increased resistance to mechanical stress and environmental fatigue. Using these heavy duty plugs reduces long term maintenance costs by minimizing the risk of hairline fractures in demanding environments. By stocking these professional grade components, your crews can complete installs with confidence, knowing the sealed connection will withstand the rigors of commercial and industrial applications better than lower grade options.

Key Features
- Heavy wall Schedule 80 construction provides enhanced durability for high pressure environments.
- Precision molded spigot end ensures a consistent and secure fit into any standard slip socket.
- High chemical resistance makes it suitable for both clean water and fertigation applications.
- UV resistant PVC compound prevents degradation and brittleness from sun exposure in outdoor installs.
- Smooth interior and exterior finishes facilitate a more uniform solvent weld for leak proof performance.
- Lower thermal conductivity reduces the impact of temperature fluctuations on the integrity of the seal.
Common Applications
- Commercial landscape irrigation
- Agricultural and crop irrigation
- Sports turf and golf course maintenance
- Municipal parks and public spaces
- Greenhouse and nursery operations
- Chemical and fertigation delivery
Installation Notes
The spigot end of this plug is designed to be solvent welded into a standard Schedule 80 socket fitting. Your crews should ensure that both the plug surface and the receiving socket are cleaned and primed according to ASTM D2855 standards. Use a heavy bodied PVC solvent cement to ensure a proper bond, and allow for appropriate cure times before pressurizing the system. Always verify that the pressure rating of the system does not exceed the maximum rating of the lowest rated component in the line.
