Boshart pvce-15 Pvc Insert 90 Degree Elbow 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The BOSHART pvce-15 is a 1-1/2 inch PVC insert 90 degree elbow designed for irrigation and fluid distribution systems. Made from rigid, chemically resistant PVC, this fitting accepts insert-style connections and delivers reliable performance in both buried and above-grade installations. PVC is unaffected by ultraviolet rays, making this elbow suitable for direct sun exposure without degradation. Because of its rigidity, the fitting is also appropriate for irrigation lines that are not buried below the frost line — if residual water freezes, the ice is forced out lengthwise rather than expanding the fitting diameter, maintaining a positive seal. Licensed plumbers and irrigation technicians are the typical installers.

This elbow is suited for residential, commercial, and industrial irrigation applications. The insert connection style is compatible with standard polyethylene tubing, making it a common choice in drip and spray irrigation layouts. Its UV resistance and chemical durability also make it a practical selection for above-ground distribution manifolds and exposed lateral lines in agricultural and landscape settings.

Key Features

• 90 degree elbow geometry for directional changes in irrigation lines
• 1-1/2 inch insert connection for use with standard poly tubing
• PVC construction provides rigidity and chemical resistance
• UV-resistant material suitable for direct sun exposure without shielding
• Rigid design forces ice expansion lengthwise, maintaining seal integrity in freeze conditions
• Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial irrigation systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use insert fitting for 1-1/2 inch polyethylene tubing in irrigation and fluid distribution systems. Industry number 1406-015.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or qualified irrigation technicians. Depressurize and drain the line before cutting tubing or removing existing fittings. Insert fittings require the tubing end to be fully seated against the fitting stop for a leak-free connection — use an appropriate insert tool or warm the tubing end slightly in cold conditions to ease insertion. Follow local plumbing and irrigation codes for fitting support, burial depth, and backflow prevention requirements.
