Spears 442-040 Pvc 22.5 Deg Elbow Spigot X Socket Sch 40 4 in

Product Description

The SPEARS 442-040 is a 4-inch Schedule 40 PVC 22.5-degree elbow fitting with a Spigot x Socket end configuration. It is designed for use in pressure-rated piping systems where a gradual directional change is required without the abrupt angle of a standard 45-degree or 90-degree elbow. Molded from white PVC, it carries a Schedule 40 pressure rating and measures 5.25 inches wide. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both above-ground and in-wall applications where code-compliant, solvent-welded PVC connections are specified.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial water distribution, irrigation, and general-purpose pressure piping systems. The spigot end inserts into a standard socket fitting or valve, while the socket end accepts a standard PVC pipe or spigot fitting, allowing flexible assembly in tight or angled runs. It is domestically manufactured, which supports job specifications requiring USA-made components.

Key Features

• 22.5-degree angle provides a shallow directional change for routing pipes around obstructions
• Schedule 40 pressure rating suitable for standard water distribution and irrigation service
• Spigot x Socket end style allows integration with standard PVC fittings and pipe on both ends
• Molded PVC construction resists corrosion, scaling, and chemical degradation in typical water service
• White color finish for easy visual identification in above-ground installations
• Domestically manufactured to support project specifications requiring USA-made materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style pressure fitting for Schedule 40 PVC piping systems using 4-inch nominal pipe size with solvent-weld connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before cutting into any existing line. Clean and dry all mating surfaces, apply PVC primer, and use an appropriate Schedule 40 PVC solvent cement per manufacturer instructions before assembling the joint. Allow adequate cure time before restoring system pressure.
