Boshart pvce-12 Pvc Insert 90 Elbow 1-1/4 in

Product Description

The BOSHART pvce-12 is a 1-1/4 inch PVC insert 90 degree elbow fitting designed for use in irrigation and fluid distribution systems. Constructed from rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC), it offers strong chemical resistance and maintains a positive seal under normal operating conditions. PVC material is not degraded by ultraviolet exposure, making this fitting suitable for above-ground and direct-sun installations. The insert connection style creates a secure mechanical joint when used with compatible poly tubing. This fitting is typically installed by irrigation contractors, plumbers, and general trade professionals working on residential, commercial, or industrial irrigation systems.

This elbow is well suited for residential lawn and garden irrigation, commercial landscape systems, and light industrial fluid handling applications where a 90 degree directional change is required. Because PVC is rigid, it performs reliably in systems where lines may not be buried below the frost line. The material's rigidity causes any ice formation within the line to be forced out lengthwise rather than expanding the fitting diameter, helping to maintain seal integrity. It is not recommended for high-temperature or high-pressure fluid service outside of its rated application range.

Key Features

• Rigid PVC construction provides strong chemical resistance and long service life in irrigation environments
• UV-resistant material makes it suitable for above-ground and direct-sun installations without degradation
• 90 degree elbow geometry allows directional changes in irrigation lines without additional fittings
• Insert connection type creates a secure, pressure-capable joint with compatible poly tubing
• Rigid body forces ice expansion lengthwise rather than radially, helping preserve seal integrity in freeze conditions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/4 inch insert-style poly tubing used in residential, commercial, and industrial irrigation systems. Industry Number 1406-012 may be referenced for cross-compatibility verification.

Installation Notes

This fitting is typically installed by irrigation professionals or licensed plumbers following applicable local plumbing and irrigation codes. Before installation, shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure completely. Insert fittings should be fully seated onto compatible poly tubing and secured with appropriate clamps or barb retention methods per system design requirements. Do not use this fitting in applications involving potable water, compressed air, or fluids outside the rated parameters of PVC without verifying suitability.
