90 Degree Elbow, Slip x Slip PVC Schedule 80 1-1/4" (806-012)

This 1-1/4" Schedule 80 PVC 90 Degree Elbow provides a permanent, solvent-cemented right-angle directional change in a Schedule 80 PVC pressure piping system, routing a 1-1/4" pipe run through a 90° turn in a single fitting. Both slip socket ends accept standard 1-1/4" PVC pipe for solvent cement joining, producing a fully solvent-welded 90° directional change that becomes a continuous, integral part of the piping system once cured.

Two parallel distinctions define where the 806-012 belongs in a system layout. The first is connection type. Within the Schedule 80 90° elbow family at 1-1/4", the 806 all-socket series serves fully solvent-welded PVC pipe systems where both sides of the right-angle turn are cemented pipe ends — the correct configuration wherever both connections at the directional change are plain PVC pipe joined by solvent cement. The 807-series mixed elbow bridges a solvent-welded inlet to a female-threaded outlet at the turn for connecting a threaded component at the elbow position; the 808-series all-threaded elbow (previously written at 1" and 3/4") serves fully threaded assemblies where both sides receive nipples or MPT-terminated fittings. When both connections at the 90° turn are solvent-welded PVC pipe, the 806-012 is the correct selection.

The second distinction is turn angle. The 806-012 produces a 90° right-angle turn — the standard directional change for routing pipe runs around corners, through wall penetrations, and between horizontal and vertical orientations in the piping layout. This distinguishes it from the 817-series Slip × Slip 45° elbow at the same pipe size and schedule, which provides a shallower half-right-angle offset for diagonal routing, compound-angle assemblies, and reduced-turbulence directional transitions. The 90° geometry is the more common selection for straightforward right-angle direction changes in solvent-welded systems; when the routing requirement is a clean right-angle direction change in a fully cemented 1-1/4" Schedule 80 system, the 806-012 is the direct solution.

At 1-1/4", this elbow serves a pipe size that occupies a well-defined transitional role in commercial and industrial Schedule 80 systems — the same transitional positioning established across the 829-012, 830-012, and 847-012 entries at this size. The 1-1/4" pipe size appears where 1" falls short of the required flow capacity and 1-1/2" introduces more capacity than the application demands — at secondary distribution headers, pump suction lines, equipment feed connections, and branch mains throughout industrial and commercial facilities. At each of these 1-1/4" pipe run positions in a Schedule 80 system, the 90° elbow is a routine routing component wherever the pipe direction must change — and the 806-012 provides that right-angle turn as a permanent, fully solvent-welded fitting that becomes an integral part of the system layout.

The higher pressure rating at 1-1/4" compared to the 2" counterpart (806-020) reflects the greater wall thickness relative to bore diameter at this smaller Schedule 80 pipe size — a meaningful advantage in chemical dosing headers, pump suction piping, and secondary process distribution runs where operating pressures at the 1-1/4" pipe size may be substantially higher than the pressures typical of larger-bore distribution runs at the same installation.

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 630 psi at 73°F, this fitting handles standard to elevated pressure service across a wide range of fluid handling applications. For installation, clean and dry both pipe ends and socket interiors before application. Apply purple PVC primer to all mating surfaces — both pipe ends and both socket interiors. Apply a uniform coat of Schedule 80 PVC solvent cement to both the pipe end and socket interior at each end before joining. Insert the pipe with a slight quarter-turn twist and hold firmly for 30 seconds to prevent pushback. Confirm the 90° turn orientation before cementing the second joint — the direction of the right-angle turn is set permanently at installation and cannot be adjusted after both joints are cured. Stagger the two joints where possible and allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer's temperature and humidity guidelines before pressurizing. Apply published pressure derating factors for service temperatures above 73°F.
