90 Degree Elbow, Slip x Slip PVC Schedule 80 8" (806-080)

The 806-080 is an 8" Schedule 80 PVC 90° elbow with slip socket connections on both ends. At this diameter and schedule, the 806-080 is an unambiguously industrial fitting — a large-bore, heavy-wall 90° directional change designed for pressure piping systems where Schedule 40 wall thickness is insufficient for the service pressure, mechanical stress, chemical exposure, or impact conditions the system encounters in operation.

The 90° elbow is the most fundamental directional change fitting in any piping system, and at 8" Schedule 80, its specification context is distinct from its Schedule 40 equivalent. Where a Schedule 40 8" elbow is commonly found in municipal water distribution, large-scale irrigation, and commercial piping, the Schedule 80 variant is drawn to industrial process piping, chemical handling systems, high-pressure headers, and infrastructure where the additional wall thickness of Schedule 80 construction provides the pressure margin, mechanical durability, and chemical resistance that demanding service environments require. The dark gray color is the immediate on-site identifier for Schedule 80 PVC, providing visual confirmation of schedule compliance during installation, inspection, and future system maintenance.

Both slip sockets accept standard IPS-dimension Schedule 80 PVC pipe bonded with heavy-bodied PVC solvent cement — the correct grade at large diameters where socket depth and cement coverage area are substantially greater than small-bore applications. The solvent-weld joint, properly prepared and cured, produces a fully fused connection rated to the Schedule 80 system's full pressure capacity — stronger at the joint than the pipe wall itself when executed correctly. At 8", joint preparation discipline — pipe end squaring, socket and pipe surface deburring, primer application where required, and correct cement bead weight — directly determines long-term joint integrity at this fitting size and should be followed per the cement manufacturer's instructions for large-diameter assemblies.

Manufactured from rigid dark gray PVC compound to ASTM D2467, the 806-080 carries the full Schedule 80 performance profile: heavier walls and higher pressure ratings than Schedule 40 at equivalent size, superior chemical resistance across a broad range of acids, bases, oxidizers, and industrial solvents, and greater resistance to mechanical impact and external stress — confirming its specification role wherever large-diameter PVC pressure piping operates under conditions that exceed Schedule 40's design envelope.

Industries & Applications:

• Industrial Process Piping — 90° directional changes on 8" process water, cooling water, chemical distribution, and plant utility fluid headers in manufacturing and heavy industrial facilities where Schedule 80 wall thickness provides the pressure margin and mechanical durability that Schedule 40 cannot deliver in demanding service conditions
• Chemical Processing & Manufacturing — Large-diameter 90° turns on chemical transfer, rinse water, and process fluid distribution headers; Schedule 80 PVC's chemical resistance across acids, bases, oxidizers, and industrial solvents makes it the correct specification on chemical handling systems where fittings are in direct contact with aggressive media
• Municipal Water & Wastewater — High-pressure or mechanically demanding directional changes on 8" municipal water transmission mains, pump station headers, and wastewater collection system force mains where Schedule 80 construction is specified for elevated working pressures or underground installations subject to external mechanical loads
• Industrial Drain, Waste & Vent (DWV) — 90° directional changes on large-diameter industrial drain and chemical waste collection headers where Schedule 80 chemical resistance and wall thickness are required throughout the drain network for consistency with the parent system schedule specification
• Pump Station & Equipment Connections — 90° routing changes on 8" pump discharge and suction headers, equipment inlet and outlet connections, and valve assembly piping where Schedule 80 fittings handle elevated pressures, mechanical stress from water hammer, and vibration loads near rotating equipment
• Water & Wastewater Treatment — Directional changes on 8" treatment plant process water, chemical feed, and distribution headers where Schedule 80 construction is specified for pressure service, chemical media compatibility, and long-term reliability on primary plant flow lines
• Mining & Power Generation — 90° turns on cooling water, slurry handling, process effluent, and plant utility distribution headers in harsh industrial environments where Schedule 80 impact resistance, chemical tolerance, and heavy-wall pressure capacity are requirements for sustained service reliability
• Aquaculture & Recirculating Systems — Large-diameter 90° directional changes on high-pressure recirculating system supply and return headers in commercial aquaculture, hatchery, and industrial water treatment facilities where Schedule 80 construction supports elevated operating pressures and long service life in continuously operating systems
