Why choose this Orbit PVC-Lock elbow over traditional fittings? It eliminates glue, solvents, and curing time.

Practical tips for best results:
- Ensure tubing is cut square and free of burrs before inserting into the 3/4" push-to-connect end for a clean seal.
- On the 1/2" FPT side, use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape as needed for a leak-free connection to male-threaded components.
- A light tightening with a wrench on the threaded side is usually sufficient—avoid overtightening.
