The term "SOC X SOC" signifies a socket connection on both ends of a fitting, allowing pipes to be inserted on either side. Similarly, "SXS" is a shorthand notation for the same configuration, meaning socket by socket. In the context of Schedule 80 PVC Couplings, both terms describe the same product with identical functionality, where both ends accept pipes for secure joining. Schedule 80 indicates the thickness of the PVC, offering higher pressure tolerance. The distinction between SOC X SOC and SXS lies solely in labeling preferences by suppliers, not in the product's characteristics or usage.
