Description
1/4" Schedule 80 CPVC 90° Street Elbow (MPT x FPT)
1/4" Schedule 80 CPVC 90° Street Elbow (MPT x FPT) provides a compact 90-degree direction change between compatible threaded piping components. The 1/4" fitting combines a Male Pipe Thread connection with a Female Pipe Thread connection for a direct threaded right-angle transition.
The Schedule 80 CPVC threaded street elbow combines durable CPVC construction with male and female threaded interfaces in one fitting. Selection should account for the 1/4" nominal size, mating thread compatibility, elbow orientation, system conditions, and proper threaded plastic-piping installation procedures.

90° Street Elbow Design
The 90° street elbow design creates a compact right-angle transition while combining male and female threaded ends. This allows the fitting to connect directly between compatible components with opposite thread configurations.
The 1/4" nominal size and required elbow orientation should be confirmed before installation. Proper alignment helps minimize unnecessary mechanical stress on the CPVC threaded connections.
Male Threaded Connection
The Male Pipe Thread connection is designed to engage an appropriately sized compatible female-threaded component. This threaded end allows the street elbow to connect directly into a compatible female interface.
Threads should be clean and properly aligned before assembly. Appropriate threaded plastic-piping procedures and compatible sealing materials should be used while avoiding excessive tightening.
Female Threaded Connection
The Female Pipe Thread connection accepts an appropriately sized compatible male-threaded component. Together with the MPT end, it creates a direct male-to-female threaded 90-degree transition.
Thread compatibility should be confirmed before assembly. Proper support should be maintained so external piping loads are not transferred to the threaded CPVC fitting.
Schedule 80 CPVC Application
A 1/4" Schedule 80 CPVC MPT x FPT 90° Street Elbow provides a compact directional transition for compatible threaded piping systems. Its mixed-thread configuration can reduce the need for an additional threaded adapter at the direction change.
System temperature, pressure, fluid compatibility, thread compatibility, and applicable installation requirements should be reviewed for the intended application. Excessive tightening should be avoided during threaded assembly.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the 1/4" size.
- Verify MPT x FPT configuration.
- Confirm both mating thread types.
- Check elbow orientation before assembly.
- Avoid excessive threaded tightening.
Our piping specialists can help review the 1/4" size, MPT x FPT configuration, mating thread compatibility, elbow orientation, and installation requirements before you order.
