Spears 407 Series PVC Pipe Fitting, 90 Degree Elbow, Schedule 40, White, 1/2" Socket x NPT Female (Pack of 10)

This Spears 407 series schedule 40 PVC elbow fitting has a socket opening on one end and male NPT threads on the other, and is suitable for connecting pipes at a 90-degree angle to change the direction of flow between pipes. The socket ends connect to pipes with a smooth bore for enhanced flow, and the National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads create a tighter seal than straight threads. This elbow fitting, or "ell," is made of white PVC (polyvinyl chloride) for chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and less weight than fittings made from metal. It is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings and is suitable for cold-water pressure distribution systems including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. PVC can be connected to other materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings. The fitting has a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, meets ASTM International D1784 and D2466 standards for quality assurance, and is certified by National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. This schedule 40 PVC elbow fitting is suitable for connecting pipes for conveying drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in a range of industries.Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries.
