Boshart pvcme-15 Pvc 90 Degree Elbow 1-1/2 in Insert X Mpt

Product Description

The BOSHART pvcme-15 is a 1-1/2 inch PVC 90 degree elbow designed for insert-to-male pipe thread (MPT) connections in pressurized irrigation systems. Constructed from rigid PVC, this fitting delivers strong chemical resistance and handles direct UV exposure without degradation — making it suitable for above-ground and surface-run irrigation lines. Licensed plumbers, irrigation contractors, and experienced maintenance technicians install this fitting as part of poly pipe distribution networks in residential, commercial, and industrial irrigation applications.

This fitting is suited for irrigation systems where poly tubing transitions to threaded pipe connections at a 90 degree change of direction. Because PVC is highly rigid, it performs reliably in applications where lines are not buried below the frost line. Should water remain in the line and freeze, the rigidity of the fitting directs ice expansion lengthwise rather than outward, helping maintain a positive seal. It is appropriate for above-grade or surface-level irrigation runs in both residential and commercial settings.

Key Features

• Rigid PVC construction resists chemicals and UV exposure without protective coating
• 90 degree elbow geometry redirects poly tubing runs at right angles
• Insert x MPT configuration connects barbed poly pipe to threaded fittings or valves
• Frost-resistant design channels ice expansion lengthwise to protect seal integrity
• Suitable for residential, commercial, and industrial irrigation installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style irrigation fitting for use with 1-1/2 inch poly tubing and standard male pipe thread connections in PVC-based irrigation distribution systems. Industry Number: 1413-015.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or certified irrigation contractors following local plumbing codes. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making or breaking any connections. Insert fittings should be fully seated onto the poly tubing and secured with appropriate stainless steel clamps. Do not overtighten threaded connections on PVC fittings, as this can crack the fitting body.
