406-G Series PVC Pipe Fitting, 90 Degree Elbow, Schedule 40, 1/2 Socket

The gray Spears 90-degree elbow pipe fitting is constructed of schedule 40 PVC with socket end connections. This type of elbow fitting, also known as an "ell," is designed to connect two pipes at a 90-degree angle in order to change the direction of flow. It features female socket connections that are designed to slide over the ends of unthreaded male pipes or fittings. The socket ends are specifically designed to connect to pipes with a smooth bore, which enhances flow.

This schedule 40 PVC fitting is known for its corrosion resistance, high strength, and lightweight properties, making it a suitable alternative to metal fittings. It is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings, and can also be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. The smooth interior finish of the PVC material provides superior flow compared to metal fittings, as it reduces friction and inhibits the buildup of materials.

In terms of compliance, this fitting meets the requirements of the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF)/American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 61 Annex G, NSF/ANSI 372, and conforms with lead content regulations for "lead free" plumbing, as mandated by state laws in California, Vermont, Maryland, and Louisiana, along with the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act which took effect in January 2014.

The 90-degree elbow pipe fitting is suitable for use in a variety of cold-water pressure distribution systems, including but not limited to irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. Pipe fittings are essential components used for 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 affect the material type, shape, size, and required durability.

Spears Manufacturing, a company founded in 1969 and based in Sylmar, CA, produces thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. The company is committed to meeting the standards set by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001.
