Description
Schedule 80 CPVC 90° Elbow (MPT x FPT)
Schedule 80 CPVC 90° Elbow (MPT x FPT) provides a 90-degree direction change while transitioning between a Male Pipe Thread connection and a Female Pipe Thread connection. The mixed-thread configuration allows compatible threaded components with opposite connection types to be joined through one elbow.
The Schedule 80 CPVC MPT x FPT 90° elbow combines durable CPVC construction with male and female threaded interfaces in a compact directional fitting. Selection should account for nominal size, mating thread compatibility, elbow orientation, system conditions, and proper threaded plastic-piping installation procedures.

90° Elbow Design
The 90° elbow design creates a right-angle transition while combining two different threaded connection types. One end provides a Male Pipe Thread while the opposite end provides a Female Pipe Thread.
Both mating thread types and nominal sizes should be confirmed before ordering. Proper elbow orientation should also be established before final threaded assembly.
Male Threaded Connection
The Male Pipe Thread connection is designed to engage an appropriately sized compatible female-threaded component. This forms one side of the threaded 90-degree transition.
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. This allows the elbow to connect components with opposite thread connection types through one fitting.
Thread compatibility should be confirmed before installation. Proper support should also be maintained so external loads are not transferred to the CPVC threads.
Schedule 80 CPVC Application
A Schedule 80 CPVC MPT x FPT 90° Elbow provides a compact threaded directional transition for compatible piping systems. It combines a right-angle turn and male-to-female thread transition within one molded fitting.
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 MPT x FPT configuration.
- Confirm both mating thread types.
- Check elbow orientation before assembly.
- Avoid excessive threaded tightening.
Our piping specialists can help review nominal size, male- and female-thread compatibility, elbow orientation, CPVC requirements, and installation considerations before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 CPVC MPT x FPT 90° Elbow used for?
It provides a 90-degree direction change while transitioning between compatible female- and male-threaded piping components.
What does MPT x FPT mean?
MPT x FPT means the elbow has one Male Pipe Thread connection and one Female Pipe Thread connection.
What connects to the MPT end?
The Male Pipe Thread end connects to an appropriately sized compatible female-threaded component.
What connects to the FPT end?
The Female Pipe Thread end accepts an appropriately sized compatible male-threaded component.
How should the threaded connections be installed?
Use appropriate threaded plastic-piping procedures and compatible sealing materials while avoiding excessive tightening.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm nominal size, MPT x FPT configuration, both mating thread types, Schedule 80 CPVC requirements, and elbow orientation.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify MPT x FPT configuration.
- Confirm both mating thread types.
- Check orientation before assembly.
- Avoid excessive tightening of CPVC threads.
