PVC Pipe Fitting 90 Degree Elbow, Schedule 40, White, 1/2 Socket x 3/4 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 allows for the connection of pipes at a 90-degree angle to change the direction of flow between pipes. The socket ends are designed to connect to pipes with a smooth bore, enhancing flow. Additionally, the National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads create a tighter seal than straight threads.

This elbow fitting, also known as an "ell," is constructed of white PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for chemical and corrosion resistance, as well as high strength. Furthermore, it is lighter in weight compared to fittings made from metal. The fitting is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings and is suitable for cold-water pressure distribution systems, including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. It is also capable of being connected to other materials, such as steel, copper, or cast iron, using transition fittings.

Having a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, this PVC elbow fitting meets the ASTM International D1784 and D2466 standards for quality assurance. Additionally, it is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. Therefore, it is suitable for connecting pipes for conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in a wide range of industries.

Pipe fittings are indispensable components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping across various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is crucial to consider the application, as this will influence the material type, shape, size, and durability required. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded varieties, with a wide range of shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Spears Manufacturing is a renowned producer of thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. Established in 1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, the company adheres to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.

In conclusion, the Spears 407 series schedule 40 PVC elbow fitting is designed for connecting two pipes or fittings at a 90-degree angle. With its socket opening on one end and male NPT threads on the other, it provides an effective solution for connecting pipes with different ends. The use of PVC material ensures chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and reduced weight in comparison to metal fittings. Meeting quality assurance standards and certified for potable water service, this elbow fitting is a reliable choice for a wide range of piping applications.
