PVC Pipe Fitting, 90 Degree Elbow, Schedule 80, 1/4 NPT Female

This Spears schedule 80 PVC elbow fitting has female NPT threads on both ends and is suitable for connecting two pipes with male NPT threaded ends at a 90-degree angle to change the direction of flow between pipes. The fitting is made of gray PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight than fittings made from metal. It is compatible with schedule 80 (thick wall) PVC pipes and fittings, and is suitable for chemical processing, industrial plating, chilled water distribution, deionized water lines, and chemical drainage and wastewater treatment systems.

This elbow fitting, or "ell," features National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads which create a tighter seal than straight threads. It can be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. The fitting has a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F and meets ASTM International D1784 and D2467 standards for quality assurance. It is also certified by National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. This female-to-female schedule 80 PVC elbow fitting is suitable for connecting pipes for conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in a range of industries.

Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
