SPEARS 407 Series 1 PVC Pipe Fitting 90 Degree Elbow, Schedule 40 White

The Spears 407 series schedule 40 PVC elbow fitting is designed for connecting pipes at a 90-degree angle to change the direction of flow. It features a socket opening on one end and male NPT threads on the other end, allowing for easy connection of pipes with different ends. The socket ends are designed to connect to pipes with a smooth bore, which enhances flow, while the National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads create a tighter seal than straight threads.

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

With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, this PVC elbow fitting meets ASTM International D1784 and D2466 standards for quality assurance and is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. It is suitable for connecting pipes to convey drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in various industries.

Pipe fittings are crucial components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in a wide range of 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 come in threaded or unthreaded options, and are available 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.

In summary, the Spears 407 series schedule 40 PVC elbow fitting is an ideal choice for connecting pipes at a 90-degree angle, with its durable PVC construction, high-quality standards, and certifications for potable water service.
