PVC Tube Fitting, 90 Degree Elbow, Schedule 40, Gray, 1/2 Barbed

The 1406 series tube fitting from Spears is a 90-degree elbow made of gray polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic, designed for connecting schedule 40 polyethylene (PE) pipe at an angle. This elbow features barbed fittings on each end, which creates a tight seal on flexible PE pipe when used with a hose clamp (sold separately). PVC is known for its corrosion resistance, lightweight nature, and high strength, making it resistant to reactions with acids, gasoline, alcohol, and hydrocarbons. The fitting meets ASTM International's D 2609 standards for plastic insert fittings for use with PE pipe, as well as ASTM schedule 40 standards for wall thickness to support working pressure up to 140 psi. Furthermore, it is certified by NSF International for use with potable water.

Pipe fittings are crucial components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in various industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, it's important to consider the application, as this will affect 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, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, produces thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. The company meets the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.
