Spears 54211162361 Pvc Sch 80 45 Deg Fnpt Elbow 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The SPEARS 54211162361 is a 1-1/2 inch Schedule 80/XH PVC 45-degree elbow with female NPT (FNPT) threaded ends, rated for 150 psi non-shock at 73 degrees F. Injection molded from PVC Type I, cell classification 12454, this fitting meets ASTM D2467 for injection molded Schedule 80 fittings and is certified by NSF International for potable water service. The gray PVC construction is suited for pressure applications where corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility are required. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit piping systems.

This 45-degree elbow is used in residential and commercial pressure piping systems where a moderate directional change is needed without the flow restriction of a 90-degree turn. Typical applications include water distribution, irrigation, industrial process piping, and chemical handling systems where PVC is an appropriate material. The FNPT end connections thread directly onto male NPT pipe or fittings. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides additional pressure and mechanical strength compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for demanding service environments.

Key Features

• Schedule 80/XH wall thickness rated to 150 psi non-shock at 73 degrees F
• FNPT threaded ends for direct connection to male NPT pipe and fittings
• Injection molded PVC Type I, cell classification 12454 per ASTM D1784
• NSF International certified for potable water service per ASTM D2467
• Domestic manufacture from Spears Manufacturing Company
• 45-degree angle provides gradual directional change with lower pressure drop than 90-degree elbows

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/2 inch Schedule 80 PVC pressure piping systems using NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply PTFE thread tape or an approved thread sealant to male NPT threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns for PVC threaded fittings — avoid over-torquing, which can crack PVC. Do not use PVC fittings beyond their rated temperature or pressure limits.
