The Schedule 40 PVC Combination Elbow is a versatile fitting designed to make a 90-degree turn while simultaneously transitioning from a glued pipe to a threaded connection. Featuring one Slip (Socket) end and one Female Pipe Thread (FIPT) end, this elbow allows you to terminate a PVC pipe run with a secure threaded outlet.
This fitting is widely used in irrigation systems for creating "swing joints" to mount sprinkler heads or for connecting threaded valves at the corner of a manifold. By combining the elbow and adapter into a single unit, it ensures a compact, leak-resistant installation.

Follow these steps for a secure hybrid connection.
Step 1: Prep the Slip Side
Clean your PVC pipe end and the slip socket of the elbow. Apply PVC Primer to both surfaces to prepare the plastic.
Step 2: Glue the Pipe
Apply PVC Glue to the primed areas. Immediately push the pipe into the elbow socket, twisting a quarter turn to spread the glue. Hold for 30 seconds.
Step 3: Prep the Threads
Wrap the male threads of your accessory (riser, nipple, etc.) with thread seal tape. Apply 3-4 wraps in a clockwise direction.
Step 4: Connect Threaded Side
Screw the male component into the FIPT outlet of the elbow. Hand-tighten until snug, then give it a final turn with pliers if needed. Do not overtighten.
