Charlotte Pipe Pvc 02520 0800HA Side Inlet Elbow 3/4x3/4x1/2

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE FOUNDRY CO. PVC 02520 0800HA is a white PVC side inlet elbow designed for sprinkler and irrigation piping systems. This fitting provides a 90-degree turn in a run of pipe while simultaneously allowing a branch connection at the side inlet. The run connections are slip-fit, and the branch inlet accepts a female-threaded fitting. Sized at 3/4 inches by 3/4 inches by 1/2 inches, it is manufactured to meet ASTM D 2466 requirements. Irrigation contractors and plumbers install this fitting where a direction change and a branch tap are needed at the same location in a PVC distribution line.

This side inlet elbow is used in residential and light commercial sprinkler and irrigation systems. It is suited for installations where space or layout constraints require combining a 90-degree elbow and a tee function into a single fitting. The slip connections on the run allow solvent-welded joints to standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe, and the 1/2-inch female-threaded side inlet accommodates a threaded riser, nozzle, or valve. Sold in packages of 25, this fitting is practical for contractors stocking for irrigation work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified irrigation contractor. Before beginning, shut off the water supply and relieve pressure in the line. Use approved PVC primer and solvent cement on all slip connections per manufacturer instructions and applicable local codes. Do not over-tighten threaded connections into the female-threaded inlet, as PVC threads can crack under excess torque.
