Schedule 80 PVC 90° Elbow (FIPT x FIPT)

Schedule 80 PVC Female Threaded 90° Elbows provide a durable right-angle connection between compatible male-threaded components in pressure piping systems.

Featuring Female Iron Pipe Thread (FIPT) connections on both ends, this fitting changes flow direction by 90 degrees while maintaining a fully threaded connection configuration. Heavy-wall Schedule 80 PVC construction provides excellent corrosion and chemical resistance for potable water, industrial, commercial, irrigation, and other compatible pressure piping applications.

Connection Configuration

First FIPT Connection

The first female threaded opening accepts a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, fitting, valve, or equipment connection.

Second FIPT Connection

The opposite female threaded opening accepts another compatible male-threaded component and completes the 90-degree directional change.

Construction Details

The elbow is manufactured from high-quality Schedule 80 PVC, providing increased wall thickness and dependable durability for compatible pressure piping applications.

Precision-molded female threads on both ends provide mechanical connections to compatible male-threaded piping components without requiring solvent cement at the elbow itself.

The all-threaded 90-degree configuration is useful where piping, valves, instruments, or equipment must be connected at a right angle using removable threaded joints.

Why Choose a FIPT x FIPT 90° Elbow?

Fully Threaded Directional Change

Creates a 90° change in piping direction
Female threads on both ends
Connects directly to compatible male-threaded components
No solvent-weld joint required at the elbow
Useful for serviceable piping layouts

Schedule 80 PVC Benefits

Heavy-wall construction
Corrosion-resistant material
Resistant to many common chemicals
Low-maintenance design
Suitable for demanding compatible pressure applications

Referenced Standards

CSA B137.3: Rigid PVC pipe and fittings for pressure applications

Threaded Installation

Verify both nominal female thread sizes before installation and confirm compatibility with the intended male-threaded components.

Use an appropriate thread-sealing method compatible with PVC and the intended application. Start each male-threaded connection by hand to help prevent cross-threading.

Tighten only as required to obtain a secure, leak-resistant connection. Excessive tightening can place unnecessary stress on PVC female threads and may damage the fitting body.

Confirm the 90-degree orientation, system alignment, operating pressure, temperature requirements, and chemical compatibility before placing the piping system into service.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Schedule 80 PVC FIPT x FIPT 90° elbow used for?

It is used to create a 90-degree directional change between compatible male-threaded components in a Schedule 80 PVC pressure piping system.

What does FIPT mean?

FIPT means Female Iron Pipe Thread. Both openings contain internal threads designed to accept compatible male pipe threads.

Does this fitting require solvent cement?

No. This version uses threaded connections on both ends rather than solvent-weld socket connections.

What can connect to this elbow?

Compatible male-threaded pipe, nipples, fittings, valves, gauges, instruments, or equipment connections may be used where appropriate for the system.

Should Schedule 80 PVC female threads be overtightened?

No. Excessive tightening can stress or damage the PVC threads or fitting body. Connections should be started by hand and tightened only as required.

Can this fitting be used for drinking water systems?

The supplied product information identifies NSF/ANSI 61 certification for drinking water system components.

What does NSF/ANSI 14 cover?

NSF/ANSI 14 applies to plastic piping system components and related materials.

What ASTM standards are referenced?

The supplied product information references ASTM D1784 and ASTM F1970.

What CSA standard is referenced?

The supplied product information references CSA B137.3 for rigid PVC pipe and fittings used in pressure applications.

What should I verify before ordering?

Confirm both nominal female thread sizes, mating male-threaded components, required 90-degree orientation, pressure requirements, temperature requirements, and chemical compatibility.
