90 Degree Elbow, Slip x FPT PVC Schedule 80 1/2" (807-005)

This 1/2" Schedule 80 PVC 90 Degree Elbow delivers a right-angle directional change and a connection-type transition in a single fitting, routing a 1/2" solvent-cemented PVC pipe run through a 90° turn while simultaneously presenting a 1/2" female NPT threaded port at the outlet. The slip socket end accepts standard 1/2" PVC pipe for solvent cement joining on the inlet side, while the FPT end receives any compatible 1/2" male-threaded fitting, valve, nipple, or instrument connection at the turn.

The combined slip-and-thread construction is the defining advantage of the 807-series elbow over a standard slip × slip 90° elbow. Where a Slip × Slip elbow changes direction but maintains the solvent-cemented pipe system through the turn, the 807-005 introduces a female-threaded interface at the elbow position itself — eliminating the need for a separate elbow plus a downstream threaded female adapter to achieve the same result. Wherever a 90° turn and a thread transition must occur at the same point in the piping layout, the 807-005 accomplishes both in a single compact component, reducing assembly length, joint count, and potential leak points.

This makes the fitting particularly valuable in tight mechanical assemblies and equipment connections where a solvent-welded PVC run must change direction and connect to a threaded valve, instrument, gauge, or equipment port at the same location — a configuration common at pump inlets, equipment nozzles, panel-mounted gauges, wall-entry points, and control valve connections in commercial and industrial Schedule 80 systems.

Manufactured in dark gray Schedule 80 PVC, this elbow delivers the increased wall thickness and mechanical strength required in industrial, chemical, and commercial pressure piping where Schedule 40 ratings are insufficient. PVC's broad chemical resistance covers acids, bases, salts, chlorine, and most common process fluids, providing long service life in corrosive environments where metal elbows would degrade or contaminate the fluid stream. NSF/ANSI 61 listing confirms suitability for potable water contact.

Rated to 850 psi at 73°F, this fitting handles standard to elevated pressure service across a wide range of fluid handling applications. For the slip socket end, clean and dry the pipe end and socket interior before application. Apply purple PVC primer to both mating surfaces, then apply a uniform coat of Schedule 80 PVC solvent cement to both the pipe end and socket interior before joining. Insert the pipe with a slight quarter-turn twist and hold firmly for 30 seconds. Allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer's temperature and humidity guidelines before pressurizing. Apply PTFE tape or compatible thread sealant to all male threads engaging the 1/2" FPT end. Hand-tighten plus one to two turns — do not over-torque PVC female threads. Apply published pressure derating factors for service temperatures above 73°F.

Industries & Applications:

• Industrial Process Piping — Routes a 1/2" Schedule 80 PVC solvent-welded process line through a 90° turn and directly into a female-threaded valve, strainer, instrument port, or equipment nozzle in a single fitting — a common configuration at pump inlet connections, chemical injection points, and panel-mounted instrumentation in water treatment, chemical processing, and manufacturing facilities
• Commercial Plumbing — Changes direction on a 1/2" Schedule 80 PVC supply run at wall entry points, equipment clearances, and right-angle transitions while simultaneously connecting to a female-threaded shutoff valve, pressure gauge, or fixture supply fitting in mechanical room and building utility piping
• Chemical Handling & Dosing Systems — Provides a corrosion-resistant combined direction-change and thread-transition point on 1/2" chemical feed lines, reagent distribution headers, and dosing loop piping where a 90° turn and a threaded valve or meter connection occur at the same fitting location in aggressive fluid service
• Water & Wastewater Treatment — Used at right-angle transitions on 1/2" Schedule 80 PVC process headers where instrumentation, sampling valves, chemical dosing connections, and pressure gauge ports must be reached at a directional change point without adding a separate elbow-plus-adapter assembly
• Irrigation & Agricultural Systems — Connects a 1/2" PVC lateral or branch line through a 90° turn directly to a female-threaded control valve, pressure regulator, or fertigation injector at zone header connections, filter assemblies, and pump station outlet piping in commercial irrigation and greenhouse systems
• HVAC & Mechanical Systems — Installed at right-angle transitions in PVC cooling tower makeup lines, chilled water drain branches, and treated water distribution systems where a 1/2" Schedule 80 run must change direction and interface with a female-threaded mechanical component at the same fitting position
