The Schedule 40 PVC Threaded Elbow is the ideal solution for making sharp 90-degree turns in your irrigation manifold or water supply line without the use of solvent cement. Featuring Female Pipe Threads (FIPT) on both ends, this fitting connects two male-threaded components, such as nipples or risers, allowing for a fully modular and adjustable setup.
Molded from high-quality White Schedule 40 PVC, this elbow provides a durable, leak-resistant junction that withstands the elements and agricultural chemicals. It is commonly used in PVC irrigation systems to route water around obstacles or to raise sprinkler heads and valves to the proper height.

Install your elbow correctly to prevent leaks and thread damage.
Step 1: Prep the Threads
Identify the male threads on the pipes or nipples you are connecting. Ensure they are clean and free of dirt.
Step 2: Apply Tape
Apply thread seal tape to the male threads. Wrap 3 to 4 times in the direction of the threads (clockwise) to create a proper seal.
Step 3: Connect First Leg
Screw the elbow onto the first pipe nipple by hand until snug. Ensure the elbow is facing the desired direction.
Step 4: Tighten
Use a strap wrench or pliers to tighten the fitting an additional 1-2 turns. Do not overtighten or force the fitting past its stopping point, as this may split the PVC.
