Sch40 90° ELBOW (SOC x FIPT)
Product Overview
A single burst fitting or a forgotten elbow can halt a multi-zone installation during the peak of the summer heat. When supply chain delays occur, an incomplete manifest leads to dry turf, stressed crops, and missed project deadlines that damage your professional reputation. Securing your inventory now prevents the frustration of failed inspections or emergency site visits when inventories run low across the region. By stocking these reliable Lesso fittings, you ensure your crews stay on the job site instead of sitting in traffic to find a single missing part. Planning ahead gives you the peace of mind that your residential or commercial projects will remain on schedule regardless of seasonal demand spikes.
Lesso Schedule 40 fittings offer a tighter tolerance and more consistent wall thickness than generic alternatives, which reduces the risk of stress cracking under pressure surges. The SOC x FIPT configuration allows for a secure solvent weld on one side while providing a clean, threaded connection for risers, valves, or sensors on the other. This versatility minimizes the need for extra adapters, reducing potential leak points and saving your team valuable labor time during the rough-in phase. Maintaining a lead over your competition requires using components that install correctly the first time and hold up under long term burial conditions.

Installation Notes
Prior to installation, ensure that the PVC pipe is cut square and all burrs are removed from the edges. Apply a quality primer and solvent cement to the slip end according to the manufacturer instructions; ensuring a quarter turn during insertion for a proper bond. For the threaded FIPT connection, use a professional grade PTFE tape or non hardening pipe dope to prevent leaks, taking care not to over tighten the fitting which can cause stress cracking in the plastic body.
