Value Collection 819-030 Pvc 45 Elbow 3 in Sch 80 Fipt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 819-030 is a Schedule 80 PVC 45-degree elbow fitting designed for threaded pipe assemblies in demanding plumbing and industrial piping applications. Sized at 3 inches with female iron pipe thread (FIPT) connections on both ends, this fitting allows direction changes in pressurized systems while maintaining the wall thickness and pressure ratings expected of Schedule 80 construction. The heavier wall of Schedule 80 PVC provides greater resistance to mechanical stress and higher operating pressures compared to Schedule 40. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in process piping, chemical handling, and commercial plumbing systems where corrosion resistance and durability are required.

This fitting is suited for residential and commercial plumbing systems, irrigation infrastructure, and industrial process lines where PVC is an approved pipe material. The FIPT x FIPT end connections accept male-threaded pipe on both sides, making it a straightforward threaded installation without solvent welding. It is commonly used in applications involving water, mild chemicals, and other fluids compatible with PVC. Schedule 80 fittings are frequently specified in exposed or semi-exposed locations where added wall thickness provides extra protection against impact and pressure surges.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction provides heavier wall thickness and higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40
• FIPT x FIPT end connections accept male-threaded pipe on both ends for tool-based assembly
• 45-degree angle allows gradual direction changes to reduce flow turbulence compared to 90-degree fittings
• 3-inch fitting size suits larger-diameter commercial and industrial pipe runs
• PVC material resists corrosion, rust, and many common chemicals

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded replacement fitting for 3-inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe systems using FIPT connections in commercial plumbing and industrial process piping.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off system pressure and drain the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-snug plus wrench-tight without over-torquing, as PVC threads can crack under excess force. Do not use this fitting with pipe schedules, thread types, or fluids outside the manufacturer-rated specifications for Schedule 80 PVC.
