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 L074000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Nibco 4607-9 PVC elbow have threaded ends or slip ends?
All three openings on the 4607-9 are slip (socket) sockets for solvent cementing, listed as S x S x S with a solvent weld end connection. There is no thread on this fitting, so you cement it to Schedule 40 PVC pipe. If you need to transition to a threaded nipple or a metal line, you'll need a separate male or female adapter.
2) What is the side outlet on this 90-degree PVC elbow for?
The 4607-9 is a side outlet elbow: a 90 degree (1/4 bend) elbow with a third socket branching off the turn. It lets you take a tee branch at the same point you change direction, which saves a fitting and a short length of pipe in tight irrigation manifolds and pool or spa plumbing. The elbow type is listed as straight size with side outlet, so all three sockets take the same pipe size.
3) What pipe size does the Nibco 4607-9 side outlet elbow take?
It is made for 1/2 inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe, MPN L074000, and because it is a straight size side outlet, all three sockets are 1/2 inch. For a reducing branch you would need a different fitting.
4) Is this Nibco PVC fitting approved for potable drinking water?
Yes. The 4607-9 carries NSF/ANSI/CAN-61 certification and is NSF U.P. certified, and it is listed as a lead-free application fitting, so it is acceptable on potable cold water as well as irrigation and commercial or residential plumbing systems.
5) Can I use this PVC fitting on a compressed air line?
No, and this one matters for safety. Nibco states plainly not to test or use these plastic fittings with compressed air or other gases. It is rated for liquid cold water pressure service only. Pressure-test with water, not air.
6) Is this PVC elbow suitable for a buried irrigation line or a corrosive environment?
PVC Schedule 40 will not rust, scale, pit or corrode and has high corrosion and chemical resistance, which is why it is standard for buried irrigation and pool plumbing. The 4607-9 is listed for irrigation along with commercial and residential plumbing. Keep it to cold water service.
7) Does this Nibco PVC elbow carry a UL flame rating for use in a building?
The fitting is UL Listed 94V-0 for flammability. That is the material burn classification an inspector or spec writer may ask for on plastic piping components inside a structure.
