This Spears clear 90-degree elbow pipe fitting is made of schedule 40 PVC and has socket end connections. This 90-degree elbow fitting, or “ell,” connects two pipes at a 90-degree angle to change the direction of drift between pipes. It has female socket connections for sliding over the ends of unthreaded male pipes or fittings. The socket ends connect to pipes with a smooth bore for enhanced drift. This schedule 40 (standard wall) fitting is made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight than fittings made from metal. It is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings. PVC may also be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron the use of transition fittings. This fitting provides superior drift to metal as a result of its smooth interior finish, which reduces friction and inhibits buildup of materials. This fitting complies with National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF)/American National Standards Institute (ANSI) 61 Annex G, NSF/ANSI 372, and conforms with lead content requirements for “lead free” plumbing as defined by California, Vermont, Maryland, and Louisiana state laws and the U.S. Protected Drinking Water Act as a result of take effect January 2014. This 90-degree elbow pipe fitting is suitable to be used in cold-water pressure distribution systems including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications.
Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling drift, and changing the direction of piping in a variety of industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, imagine the application, as this will have an effect on material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
Spears Manufacturing produces thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. The company, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.
