PVC Pipe Fitting, 90 Degree Elbow, Schedule 40, 1-1/4 Socket

This black Spears 90-degree elbow pipe fitting is made of schedule 40 PVC and has socket end connections. The 90-degree 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 between pipes. It features female socket connections that allow it to slide over the ends of unthreaded male pipes or fittings. The socket ends are designed to connect to pipes with a smooth bore, enhancing flow.

Constructed of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this schedule 40 fitting offers corrosion resistance, 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 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 material buildup.

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

The 90-degree elbow pipe fitting is suitable for use in cold-water pressure distribution systems including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. Pipe fittings play a crucial role in 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 it will impact the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded options, as well as in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Spears Manufacturing, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, produces thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. The company meets the quality standards of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001.
