Sch40 90° REDUCING ELBOW (SOC x SOC)
Product Overview
System failures caused by inferior fittings often lead to immediate site shutdowns, wasted water, and costly turf damage during the peak of the growing season. When project deadlines loom and the summer heat intensifies, a missing reducing elbow can halt your entire installation or cause a failed inspection on a commercial site. Global supply fluctuations mean that essential sizes are frequently back-ordered just when demand is highest. Securing your inventory of Lesso Sch40 fittings now ensures your crews stay on schedule and your clients avoid the frustration of an inoperative irrigation system.
These Lesso reducing elbows provide a direct structural advantage over standard adapters by eliminating the need for additional bushings or multiple glue joints. By reducing the number of connection points in the field, you significantly lower the potential for leak paths and reduce the labor time required for each manifold or lateral transition. Choosing high-quality Sch40 PVC over lower-grade alternatives ensures your installs withstand high-pressure surges and ground movement. Proper planning and a well-stocked trailer give you a competitive edge by allowing for rapid on-site modifications without repeated trips to the supply house.

Installation Notes
Installers should use a high-quality PVC primer and medium-bodied solvent cement to ensure a permanent bond. Cut pipe square and remove all burrs before dry-fitting the elbow to verify depth. Apply a uniform layer of cement to both the pipe and the socket; then insert the pipe with a quarter-turn rotation to distribute the adhesive evenly. Always follow local plumbing codes and allow for the manufacturer-recommended cure time based on ambient temperature and humidity before subjecting the line to full system pressure.
