Sch40 90° ELBOW (SOC x SOC)
Product Overview
A single failed fitting during a mid-summer heatwave can compromise an entire zones performance, leading to dry turf, stressed landscape beds, and costly emergency service calls. As peak irrigation season approaches, project deadlines tighten and the risk of supply chain delays increases. Securing your inventory of Sch40 90 degree elbows now prevents the frustration of stalled installs and the embarrassment of telling a client their system is down due to a missing back-ordered component. Planning ahead ensures your crews stay on site and your projects remain on schedule through the busiest months of the year.
These Lesso Sch40 elbows offer superior wall thickness and dimensional consistency compared to lower-grade alternatives often found in big-box retail channels. The precision-molded socket depths ensure a more secure solvent weld, reducing the likelihood of leaks under pressure or during ground settling. By utilizing a fitting engineered for professional tolerances, you minimize the labor hours spent on rework and warranty repairs. Maintaining a well-stocked trailer with these high-flow elbows gives your business a competitive edge by allowing for immediate repairs and faster system expansions without extra trips to the distributor.

Installation Notes
Installers should ensure all pipe ends are square and deburred before applying primer and solvent cement. It is recommended to follow a two-step solvent welding process according to ASTM standards to ensure a permanent bond. Allow for adequate cure time based on ambient temperature and pipe diameter before subjecting the system to full operating pressure. Always consult local plumbing and irrigation codes to ensure compliance with burial depth and thrust blocking requirements for larger diameter lines.
