PVC Pipe Fitting 90 Degree Elbow, 1-1/2 Socket, Schedule 40, Black

This 90-degree elbow pipe fitting from Spears is made of schedule 40 PVC in black and features socket end connections. It is designed to connect two pipes at a 90-degree angle in order to change the direction of flow between them. The fitting has female socket connections that can slide over the ends of unthreaded male pipes or fittings. The socket ends are designed to connect to pipes with a smooth bore, which enhances flow. This schedule 40 PVC fitting is resistant to corrosion, offers high strength, and is lighter in weight compared 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 this fitting provides superior flow compared to metal fittings by reducing friction and inhibiting the buildup of materials. Additionally, it complies with standards such as NSF/ANSI 61 Annex G and NSF/ANSI 372, and conforms with lead content requirements for "lead-free" plumbing as defined by California, Vermont, Maryland, Louisiana state laws and the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act.

This 90-degree elbow pipe fitting is suitable for use in various applications, including cold-water pressure distribution systems such as irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. It is an essential component for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in different industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, as this will impact the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Pipe fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, and come in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
