PVC Tube Fitting, 90 Degree Elbow, Schedule 40, Gray, 1-1/4 Barb x NPT Male

The Spears 1413 series 90-degree PVC elbow fitting is designed for creating a transition from rigid pipe to flexible polyethylene tubing at a 90-degree angle. It features a barbed male insert on one end and male NPT threads on the other end, allowing for quick connection to tubing and creating a tighter seal than straight threads. This elbow fitting, also known as an "ell," is constructed of gray PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and lighter weight compared to metal fittings.

The threaded end is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings, suitable for use in cold-water pressure distribution systems such as irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. It can also be connected to other materials like steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. The barbed end is compatible with SIDR-PR (standard inside dimension ratios, pressure rated) flexible polyethylene tubing according to ASTM International standard D2239, or standard D2104 schedule 40 polyethylene tubing.

With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, this fitting meets ASTM International D1784 and D2609 standards for quality assurance and is certified by National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. It is suitable for connecting flexible polyethylene tubing to rigid pipe for conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in various industries.

Pipe fittings are crucial components 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. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

As a manufacturer of thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems, Spears Manufacturing, founded in 1969 and based in Sylmar, CA, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.
