Charlotte Pipe Schedule 80 2 in. FPT X 2 in. D FPT PVC Elbow

The Charlotte Pipe Schedule 80 2 in. FPT x 2 in. FPT PVC Elbow is engineered for reliability in above-ground, pressurized piping. Crafted from durable PVC with Schedule 80 wall thickness, this elbow delivers added strength where thicker walls help safeguard against pressure surges and chemical exposure. It features two 2 in. female pipe thread (FPT) ends, providing secure threaded connections for compatible systems.

• End connections: 2 in. FPT on both sides (female pipe threads) for reliable, leak-resistant threaded assemblies.
• Material and construction: PVC with Schedule 80 thickness delivers enhanced durability and higher pressure tolerance than standard PVC elbows.
• Certifications: Lead-free construction with IAPMO Certified and NSF Listed to support code compliance and safety in plumbing and related applications.
• Industry suitability: Rated for pressure applications, ideal for above-ground piping runs where strength and resistance to corrosion are important.
• Installation notes: Not intended for underground use; designed for above-ground systems with compatible fittings and adapters for MPT/MPT connections.
• Packaging: Sold as a single elbow in bulk packaging under the Charlotte Pipe brand.

Why this elbow stands out

• Thicker Schedule 80 walls mean better resistance to pressure changes and mechanical stress, reducing the risk of failure in demanding installations.
• Lead-free composition and formal certifications provide peace of mind for safety-critical applications, including portions of potable water systems where code compliance matters.
• Reliable, long-term performance in above-ground piping networks where corrosion resistance and tight, threaded connections are a must.

Ideal use cases

• Repairs or new installs in above-ground water, irrigation, or general plumbing runs that require a 90-degree turn with threaded connections.
• Systems where a proven, durable PVC elbow is preferred over lighter-duty alternatives to handle higher pressure demands.
• Applications that benefit from strict compliance and safety certifications, thanks to IAPMO certification and NSF listing.

Installation tips

• Prepare threads and apply an appropriate sealant or PTFE tape rated for plastic threads to ensure a secure seal. Tighten to the manufacturer’s recommended specification to avoid over-torquing.
• Use compatible male-threaded adapters or fittings to connect to this 2 in. FPT x 2 in. FPT PVC elbow within your system, and verify alignment to prevent leaks.
• Confirm local code requirements and rely on the IAPMO and NSF listings as confirmation of compliance for your project.
