3/4 inch PVC Schedule 40 90 Degree Elbow Plastic x Female

3/4 inch Schedule 40 PVC 90° Elbow – Solvent Weld x Solvent Weld

The 3/4 inch Schedule 40 PVC 90° Elbow is engineered to facilitate directional changes in pressure and non-pressure liquid systems. Its solvent-weld sockets are designed for direct connection with 3/4 inch nominal PVC pipe, forming a robust and leak-resistant joint in accordance with ASTM and NSF standards.

Professional-Grade Design Features

• Material Specification: Rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) conforming to ASTM D1784 Cell Classification 12454
• Pressure Rating: Suitable for use in systems operating up to 480 psi (dependent on temperature and application)
• Joint Type: Socket end connections (solvent weld), compliant with ASTM D2466
• Temperature Range: 33°F to 140°F working range; use in cold water systems only
• Color: White with standard pipe identification markings for compatibility and code compliance

Common Applications

This 90-degree elbow is used to make sharp directional changes in piping runs, primarily in the following systems:

• Cold water distribution lines
• Drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems when used in low-pressure scenarios
• Irrigation piping configurations
• Industrial and utility piping where corrosion resistance is a requirement

Installation Guidelines

Solvent cementing must be performed using PVC primer and solvent cement meeting ASTM F656 and ASTM D2564 specifications. Proper insertion depth and full socket coverage are essential for structural integrity. Cure times vary depending on temperature and humidity—refer to ASTM D2855 for recommended practices. Avoid over-insertion or misalignment to maintain flow characteristics and joint reliability.

Compliance and Certifications

• Complies with ASTM D2466 for Schedule 40 PVC fittings
• NSF certified for potable water applications (NSF 14 and NSF 61)
• Meets UPC and IPC installation code requirements when used with compatible pipe systems

Did You Know?

While Schedule 40 PVC is widely used in residential systems, it is also specified in light commercial installations due to its combination of chemical resistance, cost-efficiency, and ease of installation.

The 3/4 inch PVC 90° Elbow is a standard component in any contractor's inventory—offering precise fit, corrosion resistance, and a long service life. When performance and code compliance matter, this fitting is engineered to deliver consistent results in demanding installations.
