Description
Schedule 80 CPVC 90° Elbow (SOC)
Schedule 80 CPVC 90° Elbow (SOC) provides a 90-degree direction 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 90° elbow combines durable CPVC construction with two socket interfaces for a compact directional transition. Selection should account for nominal size, socket compatibility, piping alignment, system conditions, and proper CPVC joining procedures.

90° Elbow Design
The 90° elbow design changes the direction of compatible CPVC piping by a right angle. This allows the piping route to turn around equipment, structural elements, or other installation constraints.
The elbow should be positioned correctly before solvent-cement assembly because adjustment becomes limited once the joints are made. Both socket ends should match the nominal size of the adjoining CPVC pipe.
Socket Connections
The socket connections are designed to accept appropriately sized compatible CPVC pipe at both ends of the elbow. These interfaces provide solvent-cement connections 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.
90° Direction Change
The 90-degree configuration creates a perpendicular change in piping direction within one molded fitting. This provides a compact alternative to assembling multiple fittings to achieve the same routing change.
Proper piping alignment should be established before joining. Adjoining pipe should also be adequately supported so unnecessary mechanical loads are not transferred to the elbow.
Schedule 80 CPVC Application
A Schedule 80 CPVC 90° 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 support and clearance should be maintained around the elbow.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify both socket connections.
- Confirm the 90° configuration.
- Check orientation before joining.
- Maintain proper piping alignment and support.
Our piping specialists can help review nominal size, socket connections, elbow orientation, CPVC pipe compatibility, joining requirements, and installation considerations before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 CPVC 90° Elbow used for?
It changes the direction of compatible Schedule 80 CPVC piping by 90 degrees.
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 90-degree elbow.
How are the socket connections joined?
The sockets are designed for compatible CPVC solvent-cement joining using appropriate preparation, primer, solvent cement, insertion procedures, and cure requirements.
Does this fitting change pipe size?
This standard 90° elbow is intended to connect compatible CPVC pipe while changing direction rather than reducing the nominal size.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm nominal size, Schedule 80 CPVC construction, socket configuration, adjoining pipe compatibility, and required elbow orientation.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify both socket connections.
- Confirm the 90° configuration.
- Check orientation before joining.
- Use compatible CPVC joining procedures.
