Description
Schedule 80 CPVC 45° Elbow (FPT)
Schedule 80 CPVC 45° Elbow (FPT) provides a 45-degree direction change between compatible male-threaded piping components. The fitting uses Female Pipe Thread connections on both ends to create a threaded angled transition in compatible piping systems.
The Schedule 80 CPVC FPT 45° elbow combines CPVC construction with two female-threaded interfaces in a compact directional fitting. Selection should account for nominal size, mating male-thread compatibility, the required 45° orientation, system conditions, and proper threaded plastic-piping installation procedures.

45° Elbow Design
The 45° elbow design creates an angled transition between compatible threaded components. It provides a less abrupt direction change than a 90° elbow while maintaining threaded connections at both ends.
The required orientation and nominal size should be confirmed before installation. Proper alignment helps prevent unnecessary mechanical stress from being transferred to the CPVC threaded fitting.
Female Threaded Connections
The Female Pipe Thread connections accept appropriately sized compatible male-threaded components at both ends. This creates a fully threaded 45-degree transition without solvent-cement socket joints.
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.
45° Direction Change
The 45-degree configuration redirects the piping run while providing a more gradual turn than a 90° elbow. This can support angled piping layouts and other compatible threaded piping transitions.
The fitting should be oriented correctly before final tightening because the connection position determines the direction of the outlet. Adjoining components should remain properly aligned and supported.
Schedule 80 CPVC Application
A Schedule 80 CPVC FPT 45° Elbow provides a molded threaded directional connection for compatible piping systems. Its two female-threaded ends are designed to accept appropriately sized compatible male-threaded components.
System temperature, pressure, fluid compatibility, thread compatibility, and applicable installation requirements should be reviewed for the intended application. Excessive threaded tightening should be avoided.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify both FPT connections.
- Confirm the 45° angle.
- Check mating male-thread compatibility.
- Avoid excessive threaded tightening.
Our piping specialists can help review nominal size, FPT connections, mating male-thread compatibility, the required 45° orientation, and installation requirements before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 CPVC FPT 45° Elbow used for?
It provides a 45-degree direction change between compatible male-threaded piping components.
What does FPT mean?
FPT means Female Pipe Thread and identifies an internally threaded connection designed to accept a compatible male pipe thread.
