1-1/4 inch PVC Schedule 40 90 Degree Elbow Plastic x Plastic

1-1/4 inch PVC 90° Elbow – Schedule 40 Fitting for Pressure and Drainage Systems

The 1-1/4 inch PVC 90 Degree Elbow is a Schedule 40 pressure-rated fitting designed to connect two pipes at a 90° angle in cold water pressure systems, drain-waste-vent (DWV) piping, or irrigation lines. Manufactured from durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and built to ASTM D2466 specifications, this fitting supports slip socket connections for solvent welding to standard nominal size piping.

This elbow fitting is suitable for both horizontal and vertical directional changes in pressurized and non-pressurized systems. It is resistant to corrosion, scaling, and pitting, making it an ideal solution for long-term use in water distribution and drainage systems.

Product Specifications

• ✅ Size: 1-1/4 inch nominal pipe size
• ✅ Material: White PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
• ✅ Standards: ASTM D2466 (pressure-rated PVC fittings)
• ✅ Pressure Rating: Up to 450 PSI at 73°F (subject to pipe system configuration)
• ✅ Connection Type: Slip x Slip (socket ends)
• ✅ Temperature Range: 33°F to 140°F for pressure systems

Installation Considerations

This elbow is installed using solvent cement welding. Ends must be deburred, cleaned, and primed before application of PVC cement. A full engagement into the socket is required for structural integrity. Allow adequate cure time per manufacturer’s instructions before pressurizing the system.

System Compatibility

Designed for use in:

• ✅ Potable cold water distribution systems
• ✅ Residential and commercial DWV systems
• ✅ Irrigation and landscape piping networks
• ✅ Aquatic and light industrial process piping (within material limits)

Code Compliance

Manufactured in accordance with industry standards for Schedule 40 PVC components. This fitting is typically acceptable under IPC, UPC, and local code jurisdictions for use in non-metallic piping systems. Always verify application-specific approval with your local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).

Material Advantage

PVC fittings offer excellent resistance to acids, bases, and salts, and will not rust or corrode over time. Their lightweight design contributes to easier handling and faster installation compared to metallic systems, without compromising mechanical strength when installed correctly.

The 1-1/4 inch PVC 90° Elbow provides a reliable directional transition in piping layouts where consistent performance, code compliance, and corrosion resistance are required. Its precise socket dimensions and smooth internal radius help maintain flow efficiency while supporting robust structural alignment across various plumbing and mechanical system applications.
