406-G Series PVC Pipe Fitting 1 Socket, 90 Degree Elbow

The gray Spears 90 degree elbow pipe fitting is constructed from schedule 40 PVC and features socket end connections. This 90-degree elbow fitting, also known as an "ell," is designed to connect two pipes at a 90-degree angle in order to alter the direction of flow between them. It comes equipped with female socket connections for sliding over the ends of unthreaded male pipes or fittings. The socket ends are designed to connect to pipes with a smooth bore, which helps to enhance flow. Made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this schedule 40 (standard wall) fitting offers corrosion resistance, high strength, and is lighter in weight compared to fittings made from metal. It is also compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings, and can be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings.

This particular fitting is known for providing superior flow to metal fittings due to its smooth interior finish, which reduces friction and inhibits the buildup of materials. It has been certified to comply with National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF)/American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 61 Annex G, NSF/ANSI 372, and meets the lead content requirements for "lead free" plumbing as defined by California, Vermont, Maryland, and Louisiana state laws and the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act.

Suitable for use in cold-water pressure distribution systems including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications, this 90-degree elbow pipe fitting is a versatile choice. Pipe fittings play a crucial role in connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping across various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, as this will impact the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available in both threaded and unthreaded varieties, and come in a wide range of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

With a focus on producing thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems, Spears Manufacturing has been in operation since 1969. Headquartered in Sylmar, CA, the company is proud to meet the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.
