PVC Pipe Fitting 90 Degree Elbow, Schedule 40, 3/4 Socket x NPT Female

The Spears 407 series schedule 40 PVC elbow fitting is designed with a socket opening on one end and male NPT threads on the other. This fitting is ideal for connecting pipes at a 90-degree angle to change the direction of flow between pipes. The socket ends connect to pipes with a smooth bore for enhanced flow, while the National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads create a tighter seal than straight threads. Made of white PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this elbow fitting offers chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and lighter weight compared to metal fittings. It is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings, making it suitable for cold-water pressure distribution systems such as irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. Additionally, PVC can be connected to materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings.

With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, this elbow fitting meets ASTM International D1784 and D2466 standards for quality assurance, and is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. It is suitable for connecting pipes used to convey drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in a variety of industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, it's important to consider the application as this will impact the material type, shape, size and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Spears Manufacturing, headquartered in Sylmar, CA, produces thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. The company, founded in 1969, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001. Overall, the 90-degree elbow fitting serves as an essential component for connecting two pipes or fittings at an angle, making it a versatile and reliable choice for a wide range of applications.
