Schedule 80 CPVC Elbows

Schedule 80 CPVC elbows are pipe fittings used to redirect liquid flow at a 90 degree or 45 degree angle in CPVC plumbing systems. Schedule 80 CPVC elbow fittings are designed to make changes in the direction of piping when a compact, sharp turn is required. They can be used to route CPVC pipelines around corners and to avoid obstacles to match the layout needs of the project and plumbing network.

The fittings are made from CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) to Schedule 80 thickness. CPVC is a thermoplastic material known for its chemical resistance, physical durability, high temperature tolerance, and elevated pressure range. CPVC elbows can handle temperatures up to 200°F (93°C). Schedule 80 standards make these elbow fittings thicker than Schedule 40 piping for handling greater working PSI in liquid pressure. CPVC Schedule 80 elbows are lightweight, corrosion resistant, and have low thermal conductivity to minimize heat loss and condensation. The fittings have a smooth inner surface that minimizes friction to reduce pressure drops and stabilize fluid flow. 

The ability to withstand corrosive media and high pressure conditions makes heavy duty CPVC elbows suitable for a wide range of applications across plumbing systems and industry applications. Common plumbing applications include industrial process piping, plating, hot and cold water distribution, deionized water lines, chemical production and distribution, chemical drainage, wastewater handling treatment, and irrigation systems.

Sch 80 CPVC elbow sizes range from 1/4” to 8” in diameter fitting connections. Large diameter CPVC elbows are available in 10” and 12” sizes for both 90 degree and 45 degree fittings. CPVC Sch 80 elbows have either socket, threaded (FPT), or combination connections. Socket CPVC elbows have two slip ends for solvent weld glue joints. Threaded CPVC elbows have two female pipe thread (FPT) ends for twist-tight connections. Combination CPVC elbows have both a socket and thread end for connecting two different types of plumbing joints.

Our heavy duty CPVC elbows are USA made and engineered. They are manufactured using modern production practices and materials to meet the top industry standards for technical precision, specifications, and performance. CPVC Schedule 80 elbows meet ASTM D1784, ASTM F439, ASTM F437, and NSF standards for long term reliability, quality, and safety. 
ASTM D1784 ensures the CPVC material and classification have the correct composition to provide the best strength and chemical resistance. ASTM F439 and ASTM F437 cover the fitting connections for socket and threaded CPVC elbows as well as ensure the dimensions and pressure rating meet Schedule 80 requirements. Our CPVC Schedule 80 elbows are NSF certified and approved safe for potable water applications.

The CPVC material used in these 90 degree and 45 degree pipe elbows has a natural strength and resistance to many common chemicals and materials. This resistance makes Sch 80 CPVC elbow fittings suitable for use in handling a range of industrial, manufacturing, and commercial chemicals. Chemical compatibility should always be verified before installing and using any plumbing lines for chemical conveyance systems.

Schedule 80 CPVC elbows can withstand harsh chemicals, hard working environments, and higher liquid pressures, making the fittings suited to a range of applications and uses. Schedule 80 CPVC elbows are used in hot and cold water lines due to their operational temperature ratings. In pool and spa plumbing, CPVC Sch 80 elbows are similarly used to handle hot water temperatures and various chemicals used to treat water. Some irrigation systems and fire suppression systems use CPVC elbows and piping due to its ability to handle water pressure and higher temperatures. 

Schedule 80 CPVC elbows are used in industrial plumbing by industries with chemical distribution systems and high pressure requirements due to the chemical resistance of CPVC and the improved strength of Sch 80 fittings. CPVC elbows are also used in manufacturing plants to handle chemicals, solvents, alcohols, and mixtures. Food and beverage facilities sometimes use CPVC elbows in the distribution of ingredients due to the material’s purity and inert characteristics.
