It is designed for connecting schedule 40 polyethelene (PE) pipe to threaded pipe conforming to the National Pipe Thread (NPT) standard at an angle. One end of the elbow has a barbed fitting to create a tight seal on flexible PE pipe, which can be used with a hose clamp (sold separately). The other end has a female NPT connector to connect to threaded pipe.

PVC is known for its high strength and corrosion resistance. It can resist reactions with acids, gasoline, alcohol, and hydrocarbons. The fitting meets ASTM International standards for plastic insert fittings for use with PE pipe (ASTM D 2609) and ASTM schedule 40 standards for wall thickness to support working pressure to 140 psi. It is also certified by NSF International for use with potable water.

Pipe fittings are essential components in various industries for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping. When choosing pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, as this will determine the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded options, as well as in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
