Boshart pvcfe-10 Pvc 90 Degree Elbow 1 Inch Insert X Fpt

Product Description

The BOSHART pvcfe-10 is a 1-inch PVC 90-degree elbow fitting with an insert-by-female-pipe-thread (FPT) connection. It is designed for irrigation systems in residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The PVC construction is rigid and chemically resistant, holding a reliable seal under typical irrigation pressures. Because PVC does not degrade under ultraviolet exposure, this fitting can be used in above-ground or direct-sunlight installations without loss of structural integrity. Plumbers and irrigation technicians install this fitting where a 90-degree directional change is needed between a poly insert line and a threaded port.

This fitting is well-suited for surface-run or shallow irrigation lines where frost-line burial is not required. The rigidity of PVC construction means that any water remaining in the line that freezes will be forced out lengthwise rather than expanding the fitting diameter, helping maintain a positive seal. It fits standard 1-inch poly tubing on the insert end and accepts a standard 1-inch female pipe thread connection on the other end. Typical applications include drip systems, sprinkler laterals, and mainline irrigation distribution in both residential yard systems and commercial landscape projects.

Key Features

• 90-degree elbow allows directional change from insert poly tubing to FPT threaded connection
• PVC construction is rigid, tough, and chemically resistant for long service life
• UV-stable material rated for direct sun exposure without degradation
• Rigid body resists freeze damage by forcing ice expansion lengthwise, maintaining seal integrity
• Insert x FPT connection suits common irrigation mainline and lateral configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit PVC insert elbow for 1-inch poly tubing irrigation systems using female pipe thread ports.

Installation Notes

Install by a licensed plumber or qualified irrigation technician following local plumbing and irrigation codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve line pressure before disassembly or fitting installation. Insert ends should be fully seated onto the poly tubing before clamping with an appropriately sized stainless clamp. Thread the FPT end onto male-threaded components using thread sealant tape or compound; do not overtighten, as PVC threads can crack under excessive torque.
