Homeflex 18-406-007 3/4 Inch Ips Gas Pipe 90 Degree Elbow

Product Description

The HOMEFLEX 18-406-007 is a 3/4 inch IPS underground yellow polyethylene gas pipe 90-degree elbow designed for buried natural gas and propane distribution lines. Constructed from polypropylene with compression connectivity, this fitting makes a secure, leak-resistant directional change in underground gas piping systems. The yellow color coding follows standard industry convention for gas service lines, making identification straightforward during installation and future excavation. Licensed gas fitters and plumbing contractors use this fitting when routing underground service lines from the meter to a structure or between distribution points on a property.

This elbow is rated for underground use in both natural gas and propane applications. It is suited for residential and light commercial gas distribution where a 90-degree change in direction is needed in a buried polyethylene pipeline. The compression connection style allows the fitting to join polyethylene pipe without requiring heat fusion equipment, which simplifies field installation in trenched applications. The 3/4 inch IPS sizing is common in residential gas service laterals and branch lines.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3/4 inch IPS polyethylene gas pipe in underground natural gas and propane distribution systems. Compatible pipe material is polyethylene with compression-style connections.

Installation Notes

Installation of underground gas fittings must be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC requirements. Shut off the gas supply and verify the line is depressurized before making any connections. Ensure the trench depth meets local frost and cover requirements for underground gas piping. Compression fittings should be assembled per the manufacturer torque and insertion guidelines printed on the fitting or packaging — do not over-tighten or under-insert the pipe stub.
