The Schedule 40 PVC Side Outlet Elbow (Slip x Slip x FPT) is a multi-functional fitting designed to streamline your pipe layout. It creates a standard 90-degree turn for your PVC line while providing a third, threaded outlet on the side. This configuration is ideal for installing threaded sprinklers or risers directly at a corner without needing extra tees or bushings.
By combining an elbow and a threaded outlet into one compact unit, you reduce the number of glue joints required, minimizing the risk of leaks. It is one of the most practical irrigation fittings for perimeter sprinkler systems, raised bed corners, or installing pressure gauges on a manifold.

This fitting requires solvent welding (gluing) for the slip connections and thread tape for the threaded outlet.
Step 1: Cut & Prep Pipe
Cut your PVC pipe squarely. Remove all burrs and clean the mating surfaces of both the pipe and the fitting sockets.
Step 2: Prime Surfaces
Apply PVC Primer to the outside of the pipe and the inside of the fitting sockets. Do not prime the threaded outlet.
Step 3: Apply Glue
While the primer is wet, apply PVC Glue to the pipe and fitting. Insert the pipe immediately, twist 1/4 turn to spread the cement, and hold for 30 seconds.
Step 4: Install Threaded Component
Wrap Teflon tape around your riser or sprinkler threads. Screw it into the FPT side outlet of the elbow. Hand-tighten, then give it a partial turn with a wrench if necessary. Do not overtighten.
