Bd Manufacturing SPEU44 90 Degree Elbow 3/4 Inch SDR11

Product Description

The BD MANUFACTURING SPEU44 is a 90-degree straight elbow fitting designed for polyethylene piping systems joined by socket fusion. Manufactured to SDR11 schedule, this elbow handles the pressure ratings associated with PE piping in gas distribution and water service applications. Both ends measure 3/4 inch and accept socket fusion connections, making the joint process straightforward for technicians using standard fusion equipment. The polyethylene construction resists corrosion, chemicals, and moisture, which extends service life in buried or exposed installations. This fitting is used by plumbers, gas fitters, and utility contractors who work with PE pipe in residential and light commercial systems.

The SPEU44 is suited for 3/4-inch polyethylene piping runs that require a 90-degree direction change. Socket fusion joints are common in natural gas distribution, potable water service, and geothermal loop systems where PE pipe is the material of choice. The SDR11 dimension ratio supports pressure-rated service, making it appropriate for both above-ground and direct-burial installations where code-approved PE fittings are required.

Key Features

• 90-degree straight elbow geometry for direction changes in PE piping runs
• Socket fusion end connections on both sides for consistent, leak-resistant joints
• SDR11 schedule rating supports pressure-rated polyethylene piping applications
• Polyethylene material resists corrosion, chemicals, and moisture
• Equal 3/4-inch sizing on both ends for straightforward inline installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for 3/4-inch SDR11 polyethylene piping systems using socket fusion joining methods.

Installation Notes

Socket fusion fittings must be installed by trained technicians using properly calibrated fusion equipment at manufacturer-specified tool temperatures. Confirm pipe and fitting surfaces are clean, dry, and free of debris before fusion. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before cutting into any existing line. Local codes, including applicable sections of the IFGC or IPC, govern PE fitting installations and should be consulted prior to work.
