Description
Schedule 40 PVC Street Elbow (SPG x SOC)
Schedule 40 PVC Street Elbow (SPG x SOC) provides a directional change within compatible PVC piping systems while combining a spigot connection with a socket connection. The spigot end fits into a compatible socket, while the opposite socket end accepts appropriately sized PVC pipe for solvent-cement joining.
The Spigot x Socket street elbow configuration can provide a compact directional transition by allowing one end of the fitting to install directly into a compatible socket connection. Selection should account for nominal size, Schedule 40 PVC compatibility, adjoining fittings and pipe, solvent-cement joining requirements, intended service conditions, piping alignment, and available installation clearance.

Street Elbow Design
The street elbow configuration combines a spigot connection on one end with a socket connection on the opposite end. This allows the spigot side to install directly into an appropriately sized compatible socket while the socket side accepts compatible PVC pipe.
The connection arrangement can help create a compact directional transition without requiring an additional coupling between the elbow and a receiving socket fitting. Nominal size and both connection interfaces should be confirmed before ordering.
Spigot Connection
The spigot connection provides the male-style solvent-cement interface of the street elbow and is intended to fit into an appropriately sized compatible socket. Proper preparation and compatible PVC joining materials are important for establishing the intended permanent connection.
The receiving socket should be checked for correct size and compatibility before assembly. The elbow should align naturally with the adjoining piping so the fitting is not used to compensate for piping or components that are improperly positioned.
Socket Connection
The socket connection accepts appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe for solvent-cement joining. Proper pipe preparation, compatible joining materials, insertion, and assembly procedures help establish a consistent connection between the elbow and adjoining pipe.
The pipe and socket should be checked for correct nominal size and compatibility before joining. Adequate piping support should also be provided so unnecessary mechanical stress is not transferred to the elbow after installation.
Compact Directional Transition
A Schedule 40 PVC Street Elbow provides a compact method of changing piping direction while using different connection styles on each end. The spigot side installs directly into a compatible socket while the opposite socket provides the connection point for compatible PVC pipe.
Application suitability should be evaluated using the requirements of the complete piping system rather than the Schedule 40 designation alone. Nominal size, adjoining components, PVC compatibility, joining materials, service conditions, piping support, system alignment, and applicable installation practices should be considered during selection.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify SPG x SOC configuration.
- Check Schedule 40 PVC compatibility.
- Use compatible PVC solvent-cement joining materials.
- Support adjoining piping to minimize fitting stress.
Our PVC fitting specialists can help review nominal size, Schedule 40 requirements, Spigot x Socket configuration, receiving socket, adjoining PVC pipe, intended service conditions, joining requirements, piping support, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 40 PVC Street Elbow used for?
It provides a directional change within compatible Schedule 40 PVC piping while combining a spigot connection with a socket connection.
What does SPG x SOC mean?
SPG x SOC means the street elbow has a spigot connection on one end and a socket connection on the other.
What makes this a street elbow?
The spigot end is designed to install directly into an appropriately sized compatible socket, helping create a compact directional connection.
Where does the spigot end connect?
The spigot end fits into an appropriately sized compatible socket connection for solvent-cement joining.
What connects to the socket end?
The socket end accepts appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe for solvent-cement joining.
What should I confirm before ordering?
