• Mixed-end connection design
• Changes piping direction 90 degrees
• Connects directly into a compatible socket
• Provides a compact right-angle Schedule 80 PVC transition

The 90-degree street elbow configuration redirects compatible PVC piping through a right-angle change while providing different connection styles at its two ends. Unlike a conventional Socket x Socket elbow, the street design incorporates a spigot end that can connect directly into a compatible receiving socket.

This configuration can create a more compact directional transition where installation space is limited or where an additional piece of pipe between fittings is undesirable. The required turn and connection orientation should be established during layout so both ends align naturally with the adjoining piping arrangement.

The spigot connection provides a male-style fitting end intended to fit into an appropriately sized compatible receiving socket. Incorporating the spigot directly into the elbow can simplify certain piping arrangements by allowing the street elbow to connect directly to another compatible socket fitting or connection point.

The receiving socket should be checked for the proper size and compatibility before permanent assembly begins. Both mating surfaces should be prepared according to the applicable PVC joining procedure so the spigot can be fully positioned while maintaining the intended 90-degree orientation of the elbow.

The socket connection at the opposite end receives appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe and provides the pipe-side connection for the street elbow. This end is intended for the applicable PVC solvent-cement joining procedure, allowing the fitting to become a permanent part of the Schedule 80 PVC piping arrangement.

The adjoining pipe should be measured, prepared, and aligned before completing the socket joint so the elbow remains correctly positioned. Planning the pipe length and fitting orientation in advance also helps prevent the permanent connection from introducing unwanted stress or misalignment into the completed piping system.

A Schedule 80 PVC 90° Street Elbow can provide a compact alternative to a conventional elbow where a spigot connection is useful at one side of the directional change. The mixed-end configuration allows the fitting to transition directly between a receiving socket and compatible PVC pipe while turning the piping route 90 degrees.

Installation planning should consider connection orientation, pipe lengths, nearby fittings, equipment clearance, and piping support before permanent joining begins. The adjoining components should approach both ends in proper alignment so the street elbow is not used to compensate for an offset or forced piping position.

• Confirm the nominal size.
• Verify the 90-degree direction.
• Check Schedule 80 compatibility.
• Confirm spigot and socket orientation.
• Match both ends to the adjoining connections.
