90 Degree Elbow, Slip x Slip PVC Schedule 80 2" (806-020)

This 2" 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 2" pipe run through a 90° turn in a single fitting. Both slip socket ends accept standard 2" 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 806-020 belongs in a system layout. The first is connection type. Within the Schedule 80 90° elbow family at 2", 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 the run on both sides of the directional change is plain PVC pipe joining by solvent cement. The 807-series mixed elbow introduces a female-threaded outlet at the turn for connecting a threaded component at the elbow position; the 808-series all-threaded elbow serves fully threaded assemblies where both sides receive nipples or MPT fittings. When both connections at the direction change are solvent-welded pipe, the 806-020 is the correct selection.

The second distinction is turn angle. The 806-020 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. This distinguishes it from the 817-series Slip × Slip 45° elbow, 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; the 45° elbow applies where layout geometry demands a shallower turn or where two elbows must work in combination to create a custom offset. When the routing requirement is a clean right-angle direction change in a solvent-welded Schedule 80 system, the 806-020 is the direct solution.

At 2", this elbow operates at a pipe size that carries meaningful flow volumes in primary distribution, process headers, and equipment supply runs. Two-inch Schedule 80 PVC is a standard size at pump discharge headers, chemical distribution mains, equipment supply lines, water treatment process headers, and secondary distribution systems throughout industrial and commercial facilities — a size where routing flexibility and the ability to change direction cleanly at 90° is a routine design requirement across every system type that uses Schedule 80 PVC. The 90° elbow is one of the highest-frequency fittings in any piping layout, and at this primary distribution size it is a routine stocking component in any Schedule 80 installation inventory.

The permanently solvent-cemented construction of the 806-020 produces a monolithic, chemically fused joint at each socket end — a connection type that, once cured, is as strong as or stronger than the pipe itself and requires no periodic inspection, re-torquing, or maintenance at the joint. This permanence is the correct design choice for the routing turns that define the fixed geometry of a piping system layout, where the directional change is a permanent feature of the installation rather than a serviceable connection point.

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, corrode, or introduce contamination into the fluid stream. NSF/ANSI 61 listing confirms suitability for potable water contact.

Rated to 400 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. At 2", use a medium-body PVC solvent cement; apply a uniform coat 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.
