90 Degree Elbow, Slip x FPT PVC Schedule 80 1-1/2" (807-015)

The 807-015 is a 1-1/2-inch Schedule 80 PVC 90-degree elbow with a slip (socket) connection on one end and a female pipe thread (FPT) connection on the other. Both ends are the same 1-1/2-inch nominal size — this is a straight elbow, not a reducing fitting. The defining characteristic is the mixed connection type: the slip end is a permanent solvent weld socket that becomes structurally integral to the upstream pipe run, while the FPT end is a female NPT threaded port that accepts and releases male NPT fittings, valve bodies, equipment connections, and threaded pipe as needed over the system's service life. In a single fitting body, the 807-015 simultaneously changes flow direction 90 degrees and transitions the connection type from solvent weld to threaded.

This two-function consolidation is the 807-015's practical advantage over assembling a standard all-slip 90-degree elbow followed by a female adapter in series. Both approaches arrive at the same result — a right-angle turn terminating in a female NPT threaded port — but the single fitting body eliminates an additional cemented joint, reduces the overall fitting assembly footprint, and removes one potential leak point from the run. In tight spaces, compact equipment assemblies, and pump skid piping where every inch of pipe run counts, the difference between a one-fitting and two-fitting solution at a direction change is meaningful.

The slip end accepts standard 1-1/2-inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe for solvent weld assembly into the upstream pipe run. The 1-1/2-inch FPT end provides a direct female NPT threaded port at the elbow outlet — accepting male NPT pump connections, valve bodies, union nipples, male adapters, and equipment inlet fittings without an intermediate adapter fitting. Because the FPT end is threaded rather than solvent welded, the downstream connection can be broken and remade independently without disturbing the upstream pipe run: isolation valves can be removed for service, equipment connections can be changed out, and threaded extensions can be added or removed as system requirements evolve.

At 1-1/2 inches, the 807-015 is a widely used fitting size across pump connections, chemical feed systems, pool and spa equipment plumbing, and industrial process piping — all contexts where the 90-degree turn from a permanently routed PVC run to a threaded equipment or valve connection is a recurring system configuration. The 1-1/2-inch NPT thread form is near-universal across pump body connections, valve inlets, filter nozzles, and equipment ports, making the FPT end directly compatible with the broadest range of standard fittings and equipment across manufacturers and materials.

Schedule 80 wall thickness provides the higher pressure rating and mechanical strength required for industrial chemical feed, process piping, and utility water systems. Gray PVC construction delivers broad chemical resistance to acids, alkalis, salts, and many industrial process fluids with no corrosion risk in continuously wet or chemically aggressive environments. The slip end conforms to ASTM D2467 standards for Schedule 80 PVC socket fittings; the FPT end conforms to ASTM D2464 for Schedule 80 PVC threaded fittings. Thread form conforms to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 for NPT compatibility across manufacturers.

Specifications:

Pressure rating is for water service at 73°F. Both ends are the same 1-1/2-inch nominal size — no governing differential between ends. Derate for elevated temperatures and aggressive chemical service per manufacturer guidelines. Use PTFE thread tape or appropriate thread sealant on all male NPT connections threading into the FPT end — do not overtighten male threaded fittings into PVC female threads.

Industries & Applications:

The 807-015 Schedule 80 90-degree slip x FPT elbow is a standard transition fitting across industrial, commercial, and process piping wherever a 1-1/2-inch Schedule 80 PVC run must simultaneously change direction 90 degrees and transition from solvent weld to a female NPT threaded connection:

• Pump Connections — Right-angle transitions from permanently routed 1-1/2-inch Schedule 80 PVC suction and discharge lines to pump body inlet and outlet ports where male NPT pump connections thread directly into the elbow's FPT end; one of the most common single-fitting solutions for turning a pipe run into a pump connection without a separate elbow and female adapter in series
• Chemical Processing & Water Treatment — 90-degree transitions on chemical feed, chlorination, acid dosing, and reagent distribution lines where the solvent welded pipe run must turn and terminate at a threaded chemical equipment nozzle, metering pump inlet, or treatment skid port accepting a male NPT connection
• Swimming Pool & Spa Equipment — Direction-change transitions from 1-1/2-inch Schedule 80 PVC pool and spa piping to threaded pump body connections, heater inlet and outlet ports, chlorinator fittings, and filter head connections where the elbow simultaneously routes the pipe to the equipment and provides the threaded interface — a common configuration in equipment room plumbing where pipe runs approach pumps and heaters from below or from the side
• Valve & Isolation Assemblies — Elbows supporting threaded isolation valves, ball valves, and check valves at right-angle positions on 1-1/2-inch Schedule 80 process and utility lines where valve serviceability is required and the elbow body provides the female threaded port for direct valve installation without an additional adapter
• Industrial Process Piping — Direction changes on 1-1/2-inch process headers and utility lines transitioning to threaded valve bodies, control valve inlets, and equipment connections at right-angle positions in equipment bays and panel-mounted pipe assemblies
• Agricultural & Irrigation Systems — Right-angle transitions from permanently routed 1-1/2-inch Schedule 80 irrigation and pump discharge lines to threaded zone control valves, filter station inlets, and flow control equipment where the direction change and connection type transition occur at the same fitting location
• Municipal & Commercial Plumbing — Transition elbows on 1-1/2-inch Schedule 80 utility water and service lines connecting to threaded valve assemblies, pressure reducing valve bodies, and equipment inlet nozzles in mechanical rooms where Schedule 80 pressure ratings and the combined turn-and-transition capability of the 807-015 are both specified
• HVAC & Cooling Systems — Chemical treatment feed line and condenser water piping direction changes connecting 1-1/2-inch Schedule 80 headers to threaded treatment equipment, bypass valve assemblies, and secondary loop connections at 90-degree turn points in mechanical room installations
