PVC Reducing Elbow, Socket x FNPT, 2 in x 1 in Pipe Size

Description

This 90° pvc reducing elbow provides a transition between two pipe sizes—with one end socket (plain insertion) and the other threaded (female NPT)—making it ideal for systems where one side requires threading and the other does not. Designed for standard schedule-40 PVC piping, it’s useful in plumbing, irrigation, and fluid handling systems where size reduction and directional change are needed.

Key Features & Specifications

• Pipe Sizes: 2″ (socket side) reducing to 1″ (female NPT)
• Connection Types:
   • Socket (plain end) for slip/solvent welding
   • Female NPT (threaded) for screwed connection
• Angle: 90° elbow (right angle)
• Material: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), schedule 40
• Pressure Rating: Suitable for standard schedule-40 pressures (varies by temperature)
• Temperature Range: Typical PVC service range (e.g. 32 °F to 140 °F)
• Color / Finish: White, smooth surface for clean integration
• Standards / Certifications: Compatible with standard plumbing codes for PVC schedule 40 fittings

Benefits & Advantages

• Versatile Transition: Useful when combining socket and threaded piping in a single run.
• Durable & Corrosion-Resistant: PVC resists corrosion, rust, and many chemicals commonly found in plumbing systems.
• Easy Installation: Solvent weld the socket side; thread the female NPT side with appropriate sealant.
• Compact Footprint: The elbow shape saves space and allows directional change in tight layouts.
• Cost-Effective: Offers a simpler alternative to custom adapters or multiple fittings to accomplish the same connection.
