829-120 12" Slip x Slip Coupling PVC SCH 80
This 12-inch Schedule 80 PVC slip coupling joins two plain-end PVC pipes in a straight-line configuration using solvent welding. The Slip x Slip (Socket x Socket) fitting type allows both pipe ends to be fully inserted into the coupling, creating a strong, permanent joint once cemented.
Schedule 80 PVC features thicker walls than Schedule 40 for increased durability and higher-pressure capacity across industrial and commercial systems. The gray PVC color is commonly specified in industrial environments for identification and code compliance. Unlike metal alternatives, PVC resists corrosion, pitting, and scaling, extending system lifespan in chemically exposed or moisture-prone environments.
This coupling is well suited for new installations, system extensions, or repairs where durability, pressure resistance, and reliable pipe alignment are all required.
Technical Specifications
This 12-inch PVC coupling is manufactured from high-strength Schedule 80 PVC, designed to join two same-size pipes in a straight-line run using solvent welding. Schedule 80’s thicker wall construction offers greater strength and pressure-handling capability than lighter-duty fittings, making it ideal for demanding plumbing and industrial systems.
Key specifications:
- Fitting Size: 12"
- Connection Type: Slip x Slip (Socket x Socket)
- Material: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
- Schedule: 80
- Color: Gray
- Profile: Coupling
- Standards Compliance: ASTM D1784
- Part Number: 829-120
- Product Alias: 829120
- Product Family: PVC Schedule 80

Pressure ratings can range depending on operating temperature, solvent cement selection, and installation conditions. This coupling is compatible with Schedule 80 PVC pipe of the same nominal size.
Typical Applications
A 12-inch Schedule 80 PVC coupling is commonly seen in systems that need strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life; large-diameter pipe fittings like this are frequently specified in environments where metal components may corrode, scale, or raise system cost.
Some top applications include:
- Industrial water distribution systems
- Chemical processing and treatment facilities
- Municipal water and wastewater infrastructure
- Commercial plumbing installations
- Irrigation and agricultural water systems
- Manufacturing plants and processing facilities
- System repairs or extensions requiring precise pipe alignment
In some commercial facilities, PVC conduit systems may run alongside pressure piping. Conduit applications require fittings rated for electrical protection rather than fluid transfer, so proper system classification is important during material selection.
Installation & Handling Tips
Due to its size and pressure rating, proper installation is integral to long-term joint integrity and system performance. Be sure to follow these best practices:
- Use approved PVC primer and solvent cement suitable for Schedule 80 applications
- Confirm pipe ends are clean, dry, square-cut, and fully deburred
- Apply primer and cement evenly to both the pipe and coupling sockets
- Insert pipe fully and hold briefly to prevent push-out during curing
- Allow proper curing time before testing or pressurizing the system
- Support large-diameter piping to reduce stress on solvent-weld joints
When connecting to mechanical equipment such as water heaters, always confirm temperature limits and system compatibility before selecting PVC components. Please note that this fitting isn’t intended for compressed air or gas systems unless specifically rated.
