Schedule 80 (SCH 80) fittings are designed with thicker walls compared to their Schedule 40 counterparts, making them ideal for applications that require greater pressure tolerance and durability. These fittings are frequently used in both industrial and commercial environments where system reliability is a must. LESSO America offers a comprehensive line of SCH 80 fittings engineered for strength, ease of use, and compatibility with various piping materials.
Compatible Pipe Materials for SCH 80 Fittings
SCH 80 fittings are most commonly used with PVC and CPVC pipe systems, both of which are widely used for their resistance to corrosion, ease of installation, and cost-effectiveness. PVC SCH 80 fittings are suitable for cold water systems and some chemical applications, while CPVC options provide added resistance to heat, making them useful in hot water and industrial fluid systems.
In addition to plastic piping, SCH 80 fittings from LESSO America can also interface with certain metal piping systems when paired with appropriate transition fittings. This flexibility is beneficial in retrofit projects or hybrid systems that combine metal and plastic piping to meet specific performance needs.

Their precision molding and uniform sizing make them easy to integrate with existing piping, reducing installation time and minimizing the need for on-site adjustments. These features make SCH 80 fittings a practical choice across many industries.
