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

1 inch Schedule 40 PVC 90° Street Elbow – Socket x Spigot

The 1 inch Schedule 40 PVC 90-Degree Street Elbow is engineered to facilitate sharp directional transitions in rigid piping systems. Featuring a spigot x socket configuration, this fitting connects directly to another fitting without requiring additional pipe segments, making it an efficient solution for space-constrained installations.

Manufactured from high-impact, corrosion-resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC), this elbow complies with ASTM D2466 and D1784 standards, ensuring structural integrity and long-term system performance. It is commonly used in drain, waste, and vent (DWV) as well as cold water distribution systems where non-metallic pipe is specified.

Advantages of Schedule 40 Street Elbow Design

• ✅ Spigot x Socket Configuration: Reduces the need for extra pipe sections and allows for compact directional changes.
• ✅ NSF-Listed PVC Resin: Non-toxic, lead-free construction suitable for potable water and approved for pressure applications when properly supported.
• ✅ High Dimensional Stability: Precision-molded to maintain fit under pressure and thermal cycling.
• ✅ Non-Corrosive: Immune to rust and pitting in aggressive water conditions and chemical service environments.
• ✅ Low Friction Loss: Smooth interior surface minimizes flow resistance, enhancing system efficiency.

Installation Guidelines

Install using PVC solvent cement and primer in accordance with ASTM D2855. For pressurized systems, ensure joints are fully cured before applying pressure. Pipe ends must be clean, dry, and chamfered prior to assembly. Proper support and expansion allowances are recommended for code-compliant installation.

Common Applications

This street elbow is frequently installed in both residential and commercial piping layouts, particularly in:

• Drain, Waste, and Vent (DWV) systems
• Cold water supply lines
• Irrigation and agricultural water handling
• Pool and spa circulation systems

Did You Know?

Street elbows reduce the number of fittings required in directional changes, which is especially valuable in assemblies with limited clearance or where line pressure drops must be minimized.

Professionals rely on Schedule 40 street elbows to maintain system performance and streamline installation in demanding environments. Choose a code-compliant, precision-molded component built for durability, efficiency, and easy integration into new or retrofit systems.
