Spears 407 Series PVC Pipe Fitting: 90 Degree Elbow

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

Constructed of white PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this elbow fitting provides chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and weighs less than metal fittings. It is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings, making it suitable for cold-water pressure distribution systems such as irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. Transition fittings can also be used to connect PVC to materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron.

With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, this schedule 40 PVC elbow fitting meets ASTM International D1784 and D2466 standards for quality assurance. Additionally, it is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. This makes it suitable for connecting pipes used in conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in a range of industries.

When it comes to purchasing pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application as it will affect the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded styles, as well as in a variety of shapes, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

As a manufacturer of thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems, Spears Manufacturing holds itself to high standards. Founded in 1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, the company meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.
