1-1/2 inch PVC Schedule 40 90 Degree Street Elbow Fitting x Plastic

1-1/2 Inch PVC Schedule 40 90° Street Elbow – Socket x Spigot, NSF 61 Certified

The 1-1/2 inch PVC Schedule 40 90-degree street elbow is designed for directional changes in drain, waste, and vent (DWV) or cold water distribution systems. This elbow features a spigot (male) x socket (female) configuration, allowing it to connect directly to another fitting without requiring additional pipe segments. It is commonly used in applications where space constraints require tighter transitions.

Material and Compliance Standards

This fitting is manufactured from rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and conforms to ASTM D2466 for Schedule 40 pressure fittings. It is certified to NSF/ANSI 61 for potable water applications and is suitable for use in systems requiring compliance with IPC, UPC, and local building codes.

• ✅ Material: PVC Type I, Cell Classification 12454 per ASTM D1784
• ✅ Temperature Rating: Up to 140°F (60°C) in pressure systems
• ✅ Pressure Rating: Matches Schedule 40 pipe rating when installed per code
• ✅ Compliance: NSF/ANSI 61, ASTM D2466, CSA B137.3

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Size: 1-1/2 inch
• Connection Type: Spigot x Socket (90-degree street elbow)
• Schedule: 40
• Color: White (standard for pressure-rated PVC)

Installation Considerations

This fitting is solvent welded using approved PVC primer and cement in accordance with ASTM D2855 installation practices. Proper alignment and full insertion are critical for joint integrity. Allow adequate cure time based on ambient temperature and pipe diameter before pressurizing the system. Not intended for use in compressed air or gas systems.

Applications

Typically used in water distribution systems, irrigation lines, and DWV layouts where a transition in direction is required. The street elbow configuration minimizes fitting stack height and is frequently used to connect directly to other socket fittings such as tees or elbows in confined spaces.

Code Note

Use of PVC Schedule 40 pressure fittings in potable systems requires verification of NSF 61 certification. This component is suitable for use in cold water systems only and should not be exposed to continuous hot water above its rated temperature range.
