PVC Tube Fitting 90 Degree Elbow 1-1/2 Gray Spears 1413 Series

This 1413 series 90-degree PVC elbow fitting from Spears is designed with a barbed male insert on one end and male NPT threads on the other. It is specifically engineered for creating a transition from rigid pipe to flexible polyethylene tubing at a 90-degree angle. The barbed end allows for a quick connection to tubing, while the NPT threads provide a tighter seal than straight threads.

Constructed of gray PVC (polyvinyl chloride), this elbow fitting offers chemical and corrosion resistance, high strength, and is lighter weight compared to metal fittings. The threaded end is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings and is suitable for use in cold-water pressure distribution systems, including applications such as irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water systems. PVC fittings can also be connected to other materials like steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings.

The barbed end of the fitting is compatible with SIDR-PR (standard inside dimension ratios, pressure rated) flexible polyethylene tubing according to ASTM International standard D2239, or standard D2104 schedule 40 polyethylene tubing. With a maximum operating temperature of 140 degrees F, this fitting meets ASTM International D1784 and D2609 standards for quality assurance and is certified by the National Sanitation Foundation International (NSF) for potable water service. It is ideal for connecting flexible polyethylene tubing to rigid pipe to convey drinking water, waste water, chemicals, and other liquids in various industries.

Pipe fittings play a crucial role in connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in a wide range of industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is important to consider the application, as factors such as material type, shape, size, and durability requirements will vary. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded options, in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).

Spears Manufacturing, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Sylmar, CA, produces thermoplastic fittings and valves for fluid, drain, waste, and vent systems. The company meets the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard 9001.

In conclusion, the Spears 1413 series 90-degree PVC elbow fitting provides a reliable solution for connecting flexible polyethylene tubing to pipe at a 90-degree angle, with its durable construction, compatibility with various tubing materials, and adherence to quality standards.
