The Schedule 40 PVC Threaded Elbow (FPT x FPT) is the reliable solution for creating a 90-degree turn between two male-threaded components. Featuring Female Pipe Threads (FPT) on both ends, this fitting is essential for constructing "swing joints" for sprinklers, connecting threaded risers, or assembling hard-plumbed manifolds. As one of our most versatile irrigation fittings, it allows for easy assembly and disassembly without the permanence of glued joints.
Molded from high-quality Schedule 40 PVC, this elbow provides a robust connection point that resists corrosion and chemical damage. It is frequently used in conjunction with PVC nipples to raise sprinkler heads to the proper height or to route water lines around obstacles.

Proper sealing is key for threaded fittings.
Step 1: Check Threads
Ensure the male threads on your connecting pipes or nipples are clean and free of dirt.
Step 2: Apply Tape
Wrap the male threads with 3-5 layers of thread seal tape. Wrap in a clockwise direction to ensure the tape stays tight when screwing the parts together.
Step 3: Connect
Screw the male component into the elbow by hand until snug. Repeat for the other side.
Step 4: Tighten
Use a wrench to tighten one additional half-turn past hand-tight. Caution: Do not overtighten metal nipples into this plastic elbow, as it can split the fitting.
