Elbow, 90 Degree, FPT x FPT PVC Schedule 80 2-1/2" (808-025)

This 2-1/2" Schedule 80 PVC 90 Degree Elbow (FPT x FPT) provides a right-angle direction change within all-threaded Schedule 80 PVC piping systems, accepting male NPT-threaded pipe ends, nipples, or fitting outlets on both ports without introducing solvent-cement joints into the assembly — delivering the elevated pressure performance and chemical resistance of Schedule 80 construction at a 90-degree direction change in large commercial and industrial all-threaded PVC pipe runs. Constructed in dark gray Schedule 80 PVC, it offers the corrosion resistance and chemical compatibility required across pump station, large irrigation manifold, industrial process water, and chemical handling applications where all-threaded Schedule 80 construction is specified throughout the system at the 2-1/2" intermediate industrial pipe size.

Both the inlet and outlet are cut to 2-1/2" FPT (Female Pipe Thread) geometry per NPT tapered thread standards, each accepting any standard 2-1/2" male NPT pipe end, nipple, or fitting for a pressure-tight mechanical connection when made up with thread sealant or PTFE tape. The 90-degree turn allows all-threaded Schedule 80 pipe runs to change direction at pump station piping assemblies, large industrial distribution header direction change points, valve cluster assembly turns, and large commercial irrigation manifold routing changes — wherever a right-angle direction change is required in a 2-1/2" all-threaded Schedule 80 PVC assembly without introducing socket joints into the run. This FPT x FPT configuration requires a male pipe end or nipple on both sides; it should not be confused with any 812 series Schedule 80 MPT x FPT street elbow (if stocked), which has a male-threaded inlet that threads directly into a female port and eliminates the nipple on one side; with the 806 series (Schedule 80 Slip x Slip 90-degree elbow), which provides all-socket cemented construction rather than an all-threaded connection; or with the Schedule 40 equivalent at this size (408-025 if stocked), which provides the same all-threaded right-angle turn at the lower pressure rating and white color of Schedule 40. At 2-1/2", the Schedule 80 FPT x FPT 90-degree elbow appears throughout large pump station all-threaded assemblies, large commercial and industrial valve cluster turn points, chemical injection header direction changes, and major irrigation system valve manifold routing turns where Schedule 80 pressure performance and chemical resistance are required at every all-threaded direction change in the 2-1/2" distribution system.

Rated to approximately 300-320 psi at 73°F, this elbow is suited for standard commercial and light industrial pressure service at elevated pressure performance versus the Schedule 40 equivalent. Its PVC composition provides excellent resistance to corrosion, scale, chlorinated water, and a broad range of chemical exposures. NSF/ANSI 61 listing confirms suitability for potable water contact.

Install using a quality pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape on all male NPT threads before engagement. Avoid over-torquing — PVC threads require hand-tight plus one to two turns; at 2-1/2", the fitting body carries greater load but Schedule 80 PVC's thicker wall provides additional strength versus Schedule 40 at the same nominal size. Plan the outlet direction of the elbow before final make-up, as the downstream pipe run alignment is established when the threads are fully engaged. Derate pressure ratings for elevated temperatures per published derating curves.
