Description
Schedule 80 CPVC 22-1/2° Elbow (SOC)
Schedule 80 CPVC 22-1/2° Elbow (SOC) provides a moderate directional change in compatible Schedule 80 CPVC piping. The fitting uses socket connections on both ends for solvent-cement joining to compatible CPVC pipe.
The Schedule 80 CPVC 22-1/2° elbow is suited for piping layouts that require a smaller change in direction than a 45° or 90° elbow. Selection should account for nominal size, socket compatibility, required 22-1/2° angle, piping alignment, system conditions, and proper CPVC joining procedures.

22-1/2° Elbow Design
The 22-1/2° elbow design provides a controlled directional adjustment within a Schedule 80 CPVC piping run. It can be used where the layout requires more angular change than a slight offset but less than a 45° turn.
The required angle should be confirmed before ordering and installation. Both socket ends should correspond with the nominal size of the adjoining compatible 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.
Controlled Direction Change
The 22-1/2° configuration provides a moderate change in piping direction without creating the sharper turn associated with a 45° or 90° elbow. This gives installers another option for routing and aligning compatible CPVC piping.
Proper orientation should be established before solvent-cement joining because adjustment becomes limited after assembly. Adjoining piping should remain properly aligned and supported.
Schedule 80 CPVC Application
A Schedule 80 CPVC 22-1/2° Elbow provides a molded directional connection for compatible CPVC piping systems. Its two socket ends are designed for properly prepared solvent-cement joints.
System temperature, pressure, fluid compatibility, joining requirements, and applicable installation procedures should be reviewed for the intended application. Proper piping support should be maintained around the fitting.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify both socket connections.
- Confirm the 22-1/2° angle.
- Check orientation before joining.
- Maintain proper piping alignment and support.
Our piping specialists can help review nominal size, socket compatibility, the required 22-1/2° angle, CPVC joining requirements, and piping alignment before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 CPVC 22-1/2° Elbow used for?
It provides a 22-1/2° 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 elbow has two socket connections, one at each end of the fitting.
Why use a 22-1/2° elbow?
It provides a moderate directional adjustment where the piping layout does not require a sharper 45° or 90° turn.
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, socket configuration, 22-1/2° angle, adjoining CPVC pipe compatibility, and system requirements.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify both socket connections.
- Confirm the 22-1/2° angle.
- Check orientation before installation.
- Use compatible CPVC joining procedures.
