406-L Series PVC Pipe Fitting 90 Degree Elbow 3/4 Socket

This 90-degree elbow pipe fitting by Spears is made of schedule 40 PVC and features socket end connections. Also known as an "ell," this fitting is used to connect two pipes at a 90-degree angle in order to change the direction of flow between them. The female socket connections are designed to slide over the ends of unthreaded male pipes or fittings, and the smooth bore of the socket ends allows for enhanced flow.

Made of PVC, this schedule 40 fitting offers corrosion resistance, high strength, and is lighter in weight compared to metal fittings. It is designed for use 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 this fitting provides superior flow compared to metal fittings, reducing friction and inhibiting the buildup of materials.

This PVC elbow fitting complies with NSF/ANSI 61 Annex G and NSF/ANSI 372 standards, as well as the lead content requirements for "lead free" plumbing. It is suitable for use in cold-water pressure distribution systems, including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. This fitting meets the requirements set by California, Vermont, Maryland, and Louisiana state laws, as well as the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act that took effect in January 2014.

Pipe fittings are essential components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in 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 threaded or unthreaded, and come in a variety of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
