Sch40 90° REDUCING ELBOW (SOC x FIPT)

Product Overview

A single fractured elbow in a high pressure mainline can trigger a cascading system failure, leading to massive water waste, saturated turf, and costly emergency repairs. During the peak of the irrigation season, finding specific reducing fittings like the 90 degree SOC x FIPT configuration becomes a logistical nightmare as regional inventories deplete. Waiting for back-ordered components puts your project deadlines at risk and leaves your clients with dying landscapes. Securing these critical Lesso fittings now ensures your crews stay on site and productive, preventing the scheduling setbacks that occur when local supply houses run dry during the mid summer heat.

The Lesso Schedule 40 Reducing Elbow provides a structural advantage over thin walled alternatives by offering superior wall thickness and precision molded threads. The transition from a slip socket to a female pipe thread allows for the direct integration of threaded risers or valves without the need for additional bushings, which reduces the number of potential leak points in the system. By minimizing the component count at each valve box or head transition, you save significant labor time and reduce the long term maintenance burden on your service department. Maintaining a deep stock of these specialty elbows gives your firm the competitive edge to finish complex installs while others are still hunting for parts.

Product Specifications

Specification Detail
Material High Grade Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
Fitting Type 90 Degree Reducing Elbow
Connection 1 Solvent Weld Socket (SOC)
Connection 2 Female International Pipe Thread (FIPT)
Schedule Rating Schedule 40 (Standard Wall)
Manufacturer Lesso
Color/Finish White / Smooth
Compliance ASTM D2466 Standard

Available Models & Sizes

This Lesso series is available in several standard reducing configurations to accommodate transitions from mainlines to lateral risers. Common sizes include variations from 1 inch down to 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch tapings. For specific dimensional submittals, bulk quantity discounts, or unusual size pairings, please contact our sales desk for the current inventory manifest and full configuration list.

Key Features

  • Heavy duty Schedule 40 wall thickness provides excellent resistance to internal pressure surges and external soil loading.
  • Deep socket design ensures maximum surface area for solvent welding, creating a permanent chemical bond.
  • Reinforced female pipe threads are precision engineered to prevent cross threading during riser installation.
  • Reducing configuration eliminates the need for extra reducers or bushings, streamlining the footprint of the assembly.
  • UV resistant PVC compound maintains structural integrity even when exposed to sunlight during long duration projects.
  • Smooth internal bore minimizes friction loss, ensuring that downstream heads receive maximum flow and pressure.

Common Applications

  • Commercial landscape irrigation for high traffic zones.
  • Residential lawn and garden systems requiring riser transitions.
  • Golf course maintenance for lateral line adjustments and repairs.
  • Municipal parks and public spaces where durable fittings are required.
  • Greenhouse and nursery operations for overhead misting transitions.
  • Potable water supply systems for light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

For a reliable connection, always use a high quality PVC primer and solvent cement suitable for the pipe size and environmental conditions. Apply primer to both the pipe end and the socket before applying cement and inserting the pipe with a quarter turn. For the threaded side, use a PTFE thread seal tape or a non hardening pipe dope specifically rated for plastic. Avoid over tightening threaded connections to prevent stress cracking; hand tight plus one to two turns with a wrench is generally sufficient for a leak free seal.
