Spears SPE817020 45 Degree Elbow Pvc Schedule 80 1 Inch

Product Description

The SPEARS SPE817020 is a 45-degree elbow fitting manufactured from PVC Schedule 80 material, designed for pressure piping systems that demand heavier wall thickness and greater chemical resistance than Schedule 40. The socket-by-socket (SxS) end connections accept solvent-cement joints on both ends, creating a leak-tight bond in permanent installations. Weighing 0.15 pounds, this compact fitting is well suited for tight routing changes in industrial, chemical, irrigation, and plumbing systems. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and irrigation technicians are the primary installers for this type of fitting.

This 45-degree elbow is used in residential and commercial piping applications where a gradual directional change is needed without the sharp turn of a 90-degree elbow. Schedule 80 PVC is commonly specified in industrial process lines, chemical feed systems, pool and spa plumbing, and pressurized irrigation headers. The 1-inch nominal size fits standard 1-inch PVC pipe and is appropriate for both above-ground and below-grade installations where the pipe class is rated for the service conditions.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle provides a less restrictive flow path compared to a 90-degree elbow
• Schedule 80 wall thickness rated for higher pressure service than Schedule 40
• Socket-by-socket end connections accept solvent-cement bonding on both ends
• PVC construction offers broad chemical resistance for process and chemical applications
• Lightweight at 0.15 pounds for easy handling and installation in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-construction fitting compatible with standard 1-inch PVC Schedule 80 pressure piping systems using solvent-cement socket joints.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter following applicable local plumbing codes and ASTM solvent-cementing standards. Depressurize and drain the system fully before cutting into any existing line. Use the correct PVC primer and Schedule 80-rated solvent cement, and allow full cure time before returning the line to service. Do not use this fitting with threaded connections or mechanical couplings unless a transition fitting is specified.
