NIBCO U406-020 2 90 DEGREE ELBOW, White, Pack of 1

The NIBCO 406 schedule 40 90-degree elbow pipe fitting is a PVC fitting with slip connections designed to connect two pipes at a 90-degree angle to change the direction of flow. This elbow fitting, also known as an "ell," has female slip openings that can slide over the ends of male unthreaded pipes. The slip ends ensure a smooth bore for enhanced flow. Made of PVC, this schedule 40 fitting offers corrosion resistance, high strength, and is lighter than metal fittings. It is compatible with schedule 40 PVC pipes and fittings, making it ideal for use in cold-water pressure distribution systems like irrigation, pool and spa, potable water, and chilled water applications. PVC can also be connected to materials such as steel, copper, or cast iron using transition fittings.

The smooth interior finish of the PVC fitting provides superior flow compared to metal fittings by reducing friction and preventing material buildup. This fitting meets the quality assurance specifications of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) with compliance to ASTM D2466 and D1784 standards.

Pipe fittings play a crucial role in connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping across various industries. When selecting pipe fittings, it is essential to consider the application to determine the material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings come in threaded or unthreaded options, in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules based on pipe wall thickness.

NIBCO is a leading manufacturer of flow-control products for construction, industrial, fire protection, and irrigation applications. Established in 1904, the company is based in Elkhart, IN, and adheres to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001 standards for quality assurance.
