Description
Schedule 80 CPVC 11-1/4° Elbow (SOC)
Schedule 80 CPVC 11-1/4° Elbow (SOC) provides a slight directional change in compatible Schedule 80 CPVC piping systems. The socket configuration allows compatible CPVC pipe to connect at both ends using solvent-cement joining procedures.
The Schedule 80 CPVC 11-1/4° elbow is designed for piping layouts that require a gradual change in direction rather than a sharper elbow transition. Selection should account for nominal size, socket compatibility, required angle, piping alignment, system conditions, and proper CPVC joining procedures.

11-1/4° Elbow Design
The 11-1/4° elbow design provides a small directional adjustment within a Schedule 80 CPVC piping run. This can be useful where piping requires a gradual change in alignment rather than a larger 45° or 90° turn.
The required angle should be confirmed before ordering and installation. Both socket ends should match the nominal size of the adjoining CPVC pipe.
Socket Connections
The socket connections accept appropriately sized compatible CPVC pipe at both ends of the elbow. These interfaces provide solvent-cement joints for integrating the fitting into the piping system.
Pipe ends and fitting sockets should be clean and properly prepared before assembly. Compatible CPVC primer, solvent cement, insertion procedures, and required cure times should be followed for both connections.
Gradual Direction Change
The 11-1/4° configuration creates a subtle change in piping direction. It can help adjust a run where only a small angular correction is required while maintaining a molded fitting connection.
Proper orientation should be established before joining because adjustment becomes limited once the solvent-cement joints are assembled. Adjoining pipe should also be properly supported.
Schedule 80 CPVC Application
A Schedule 80 CPVC 11-1/4° Elbow provides a molded directional connection for compatible CPVC piping systems. Its socket ends are intended for properly prepared solvent-cement joints using materials suitable for CPVC.
System temperature, pressure, fluid compatibility, joining requirements, and applicable installation standards should be reviewed for the intended application. Proper piping alignment and support should be maintained around the fitting.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify both socket connections.
- Confirm the 11-1/4° angle.
- Check orientation before joining.
- Maintain proper piping alignment and support.
Our piping specialists can help review nominal size, socket connections, required angle, CPVC pipe compatibility, joining requirements, and installation alignment before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 CPVC 11-1/4° Elbow used for?
It provides a slight 11-1/4° change in direction within compatible Schedule 80 CPVC piping.
What does SOC mean?
SOC identifies a socket connection designed to accept compatible CPVC pipe for solvent-cement joining.
How many socket connections does this elbow have?
The fitting has two socket connections, one at each end of the 11-1/4° elbow.
Why use an 11-1/4° elbow?
It provides a smaller angular correction where the piping layout does not require a sharper 45° or 90° direction change.
How are the socket connections joined?
The sockets are designed for compatible CPVC solvent-cement joining using appropriate preparation, joining materials, and cure procedures.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm nominal size, Schedule 80 CPVC construction, socket configuration, 11-1/4° angle, and adjoining pipe compatibility.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify both socket connections.
- Confirm the 11-1/4° angle.
- Check orientation before installation.
- Use compatible CPVC joining procedures.
