The Perfect Angle. Hose to Pipe Transition.
The Male Hose x 1/2" PVC Elbow is a specialized transition fitting designed to connect standard garden hose threads to a rigid PVC pipe system at a 90-degree angle. Whether you are building a custom valve manifold or connecting a battery timer to a hard-piped water source, this adapter ensures a secure, compact connection.
Molded from durable Schedule 40 PVC, this fitting features a solvent-weld socket on one side and a 3/4" Male Hose Thread (MHT) on the other. It is one of the most practical irrigation fittings for professional installers who need to route water from a faucet or garden hose directly into a PVC zone line without stressing the tubing or kinking the hose.
Why Choose This PVC Elbow?
- Space Saving Design: The 90-degree turn allows you to route water lines cleanly against a wall or around a corner, unlike straight adapters that stick out and create tripping hazards.
- Secure Transition: Converts "Glue to Thread" in a single piece, eliminating potential leak points associated with using multiple bushings and nipples.
- Professional Compatibility: The 1/2" Slip end glues directly over standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe, while the MHT end fits all standard US garden hoses, hose caps, and faucet timers.
- Durable Construction: UV-resistant PVC material withstands outdoor exposure and chemical fertilizers better than standard ABS plastics.
