The PVC Schedule 40 90-degree elbow is used in cold water pressure distribution systems including irrigation, pool and spa, potable water and chilled water applications. Please refer to NIBCO technical data sheets and catalogs for engineering and installation information. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the most frequently specified of all thermoplastic materials because of its light weight, durability and cost-effectiveness. PVC Schedule 40 is easy to install and is joined by solvent cementing or threading. PVC fittings exhibit high corrosion and chemical resistance and will not rust, scale, pit or corrode. NIBCO® plastic fittings are backed by a 5-year limited warranty. Because of its longstanding reputation for innovation and precision in design and manufacturing, NIBCO is the preferred brand in the industry.

Nibco L06620YP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Is the Nibco 4607-3-3 PVC elbow threaded or does it need solvent cement?
It's a threaded fitting, female by female on both ends, so it threads onto male NPT pipe or male adapters. No primer or cement needed on this one. If your run is socket (slip) PVC, you'd need a male adapter on each side or a socket-style elbow instead.
2) Will this PVC elbow hold up on a hot water line?
No. Maximum service temperature is 140 degrees F, so it's a cold water pressure fitting only. For domestic hot water or anything running hotter, use CPVC or metal fittings instead.
3) Can I use this PVC fitting on a compressed air line?
No. Nibco specifically states not to test or use these plastic fittings with compressed air or other gases. They are rated for liquid pressure service only, so use a pressure-rated metal fitting for air.
4) What pipe sizes does the Nibco 4607-3-3 90 degree PVC elbow come in?
Six sizes: 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2 and 2 inch. Each is a straight-size elbow, meaning both ends are the same size, so there is no reducing version in the run.
5) What standards does the Nibco threaded PVC 90 elbow meet for a spec submittal?
It's made to ASTM D2466 with PVC compound per ASTM D1784 cell class 12454, NSF/ANSI/CAN-61 certified, NSF U.P. certified, and UL Listed 94V-0 for flammability. Schedule 40, white PVC.
6) Is this elbow OK for buried irrigation and pool plumbing, or is it plumbing-only?
Both. Nibco lists this 90 degree PVC elbow for commercial plumbing, residential plumbing and irrigation, and the description covers pool and spa and chilled water as well. PVC won't rust, scale, pit or corrode, which is why it's the common choice for these cold water systems.
7) How tight should I make up the threads on a PVC threaded elbow?
Threaded PVC is female on both ends here, so the elbow is the part that can split if you overtighten. Hand tight plus a turn or two with a strap wrench is the usual approach, using PTFE tape or a thread sealant rated for plastic. Nibco publishes plastic fittings installation instructions with the full procedure.
