The Charlotte Pipe Schedule 40 1-1/4 in. FPT X 1-1/4 in. FPT PVC Elbow is a dependable, lead-free solution designed for threaded PVC piping systems. Built for durability and consistent performance, this elbow helps you change direction in pressurized water lines with confidence.
-
Threaded precision for reliable joins: Both ends are 1-1/4 in. FPT (female pipe thread), so you'll connect to male-threaded adapters or fittings—ideal for systems that rely on threaded connections rather than solvent-welded joints.
-
Solid PVC construction: Schedule 40 PVC elbow delivers corrosion resistance and steady flow in standard water and light-duty industrial applications.
-
Clean, lead-free performance: Lead-free composition with IAPMO certification and NSF listing adds peace of mind for drinking water and indoor use.
-
Pressure-ready design: Rated for up to 370 psi, making it suitable for typical residential and commercial pressure applications where a reliable elbow is essential.
-
Not for underground use: This elbow is not designed for burial or direct underground installation; use appropriate above-ground or indoor routing.
-
Compact, single-fittings package: Included as a single-piece unit in bulk packaging—easy to inventory and select when you’re assembling or repairing a run.
-
Brand assurance: From Charlotte Pipe, a trusted name in durable PVC fittings with a long history of consistent dimensional accuracy and fitment.
Ideal use cases: Replace a failing threaded elbow in a domestic water line, retrofit an irrigation loop that needs a directional change, or assemble a short, pressurized run where slip fittings aren’t practical. Because ends are FPT, pair this elbow with compatible male-threaded adapters or pipes to create a secure, leak-resistant connection in above-ground systems.
Practical installation tips:
- Always apply PTFE thread sealant or Teflon tape to male threads before assembly to ensure a tight seal without over-tightening.
- Inspect threads for damage before installation; any nicks or deformities can compromise the fit and lead to leaks.
- Align the elbow to minimize stress on the threaded joints—avoid forcing or bending the connections during assembly.
- Use appropriate adapters for transitioning to slip or push-fit connections if your system requires mixed connection types.
