The Charlotte Pipe 2 in. Slip X 2 in. D MPT PVC Street Elbow is a durable, code-ready transition fitting designed for above-ground pressure piping. With a 2-inch slip end and a 2-inch male pipe thread (MPT) end, it provides a clean, secure connection point when you need to go from a glued PVC run to threaded components. Crafted from PVC, this street elbow delivers dependable performance in demanding plumbing environments while meeting established industry standards.
Why this street elbow stands out
-
Slip x MPT configuration: Quick solvent-weld connection on the 2 in. slip end, paired with a 2 in. male threaded end for easy integration with threaded fittings, valves, or adapters.
-
Lead-free PVC construction: Built to minimize lead content while maintaining strength and chemical resistance in typical residential and commercial water systems.
-
Certified and trusted: IAPMO certified and NSF listed, providing assurance of compliance and suitability for plumbing applications.
-
Above-ground use only: Not underground rated, making it ideal for exposed, above-ground piping runs in pressure applications.
-
Single-piece practicality: Sold as a single piece, ready to install when you’re replacing or upgrading a 2" line segment.
Ideal uses and real-world scenarios
- Converting a glued 2" PVC pipe run to a threaded connection for valves, unions, or equipment located above ground.
- Repairs or retrofits in residential irrigation, commercial water lines, or utility rooms where a reliable slip-to-MPT transition is needed.
- DIY projects or professional installations where space constraints require a compact, right-angle transition with a threaded outlet.
Installation and practical tips
For the slip end, apply PVC cement and primer to achieve a secure, leak-proof bond with standard 2" PVC pipe. For the MPT end, apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before threading into a compatible female fitting or valve. Ensure proper alignment, avoid over-tightening threaded connections, and let cement cure fully before pressurizing the system. This elbow is designed for above-ground use in pressure-rated PVC piping systems and is not intended for burial or underground applications.
