1 inch PVC Schedule 40 90 Degree Elbow Plastic x Plastic

1” PVC Schedule 40 90° Elbow – Socket x Socket Fitting for Directional Changes

The 1-inch PVC Schedule 40 90-degree elbow is designed for use in non-pressurized and low-pressure piping systems requiring a sharp change in flow direction. Constructed from rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC), this fitting facilitates solvent-welded joints in cold water distribution, drainage, waste, and vent (DWV) applications.

Manufactured in accordance with ASTM D2466 and molded from PVC Type I (Cell Class 12454 per ASTM D1784), the fitting provides consistent dimensional stability, chemical resistance, and long service life in above-ground plumbing systems.

Product Specifications

• Nominal Size: 1 inch
• Material: PVC Type I, Grade I (Cell Class 12454)
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Connection: Socket x Socket (solvent weld)
• Standard Compliance: ASTM D2466 (Schedule 40 fittings), NSF-listed for DWV use

Performance Features

• ✅ Directional Transition – Enables perpendicular alignment of piping segments with minimal footprint
• ✅ Smooth Interior Wall – Reduces flow resistance and prevents debris accumulation
• ✅ Chemical and Corrosion Resistance – Inert to standard drainage waste materials and ambient moisture
• ✅ Compatible with Schedule 40 Pipe – Designed for solvent-weld connections with standard PVC piping

Installation Guidelines

Install using an approved PVC primer and solvent cement. All joining surfaces should be clean, square-cut, and properly deburred prior to assembly. Follow manufacturer and code specifications for set and cure times before pressure testing or introducing flow to the system. This fitting is not intended for use in hot water supply or continuous pressurized service.

Typical Applications

This elbow is commonly used in residential and commercial drain piping systems to connect vertical and horizontal pipe runs or to navigate turns within wall cavities, crawlspaces, or under slab configurations. It is suitable for DWV and irrigation systems where standard 90° directional changes are required.

Material Note

PVC Schedule 40 components are widely specified for DWV due to their low weight, resistance to scaling, and stability up to 140°F in intermittent service. When solvent-welded, the fittings create permanent bonds suitable for gravity-fed installations.

The 1” PVC Schedule 40 90° elbow provides a reliable, code-compliant transition fitting for directional changes in piping systems, ensuring system integrity in both new construction and retrofit applications.
