Spears 816-060 6" PVC Schedule 80 Socket Elbow, 22-1/2°

Spears 816-060 6" PVC Schedule 80 Socket Elbow, 22-1/2°

The Spears 816-060 is a 6" PVC Schedule 80 socket elbow molded with a 22-1/2° bend, engineered for pressure-rated piping systems that require a gradual directional change without the flow disruption of a sharper 45° or 90° fitting. Built from rigid PVC for strong corrosion and chemical resistance, this socket-style (SOC) elbow solvent-welds directly into 6" Schedule 80 PVC pipe runs for a secure, permanent, leak-resistant joint. Its heavy-wall Schedule 80 construction gives it a higher pressure rating and greater mechanical strength than standard Schedule 40 fittings, making the 816-060 well suited to demanding industrial, commercial, and process piping applications where a durable, long-service-life fitting is required.

Key Features

• Trade Size: 6" nominal pipe size, sized for high-volume PVC piping runs and large-diameter process lines.
• Angle: 22-1/2° bend enables gradual directional changes in a pipe run while minimizing turbulence and pressure loss compared to sharper-angle elbows.
• Durable PVC Construction: Molded PVC body resists corrosion, rust, and chemical attack, holding up well in wet, humid, or corrosive industrial environments.
• Schedule 80 Wall Thickness: Heavier wall than Schedule 40 fittings, delivering a higher pressure rating and added mechanical strength for demanding piping systems.
• Socket (SOC) Connections: Both ends are configured for solvent-weld socket connections, forming a permanent, leak-tight joint with 6" Schedule 80 PVC pipe.
• Lightweight, Easy-Install Design: PVC construction is significantly lighter than comparable metal or iron elbows, simplifying handling, cutting, and installation in the field.
• Dimensionally Consistent: Manufactured to standard Schedule 80 socket-elbow dimensions for reliable fit-up with other Schedule 80 PVC pipe and fittings.
