Nibco M055600 Cpvc 90 Elbow 3/4 Inch Slip X Slip

Product Description

The NIBCO M055600 is a 3/4-inch CPVC 90-degree elbow fitting designed for use in hot and cold water distribution systems where corrosion resistance and temperature tolerance are required. Manufactured from CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride), this fitting handles maximum working temperatures up to 180 degrees F, making it suitable for domestic hot water lines. The slip x slip end connections allow for solvent-cement joining on both sides, providing a reliable, leak-resistant bond. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting when routing CPVC pipe around obstacles or changing direction within a plumbing system.

This elbow is intended for residential and light commercial plumbing applications involving CPVC piping. Typical install scenarios include domestic hot and cold water supply lines, in-wall rough-in work, and under-fixture connections. The 90-degree turn geometry is used where a right-angle change in pipe direction is needed. This fitting meets ASTM and NSF/ANSI standards, confirming it is certified for potable water contact under NSF U.P. (Use in Potable Water Systems) requirements.

Key Features

• CPVC construction rated to 180 degrees F maximum working temperature
• Slip x slip end connections for solvent-cement installation on both sides
• NSF U.P. certified for use in potable water systems
• Meets ASTM and NSF/ANSI standards
• Compact 90-degree elbow geometry for right-angle pipe routing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for 3/4-inch CPVC piping systems using solvent-cement (slip) connections in potable water distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off and depressurize the water supply line before cutting into existing pipe. Use CPVC-rated solvent cement and primer per manufacturer instructions — do not substitute PVC cement, as it is not rated for CPVC. Allow full cure time before pressurizing the system.
