Sch40 90° REDUCING STREET ELBOW (MIPT x SOC)
Product Overview
System failures caused by sub-standard fittings often occur at the peak of the summer heat when turf stress is highest and your service schedule is already overbooked. A single cracked elbow under pressure can lead to localized flooding, significant water waste, and costly property damage that erodes your profit margins and damages your professional reputation. With rising demand during the installation season and unpredictable supply chain disruptions, waiting until a leak occurs to source specialized reducing fittings is a risk to your project deadlines. Securing your inventory now ensures that your crews can complete repairs and new installs without the delays associated with back-ordered components or emergency supply house runs.
The Lesso Schedule 40 90 Degree Reducing Street Elbow provides a superior technical solution for tight manifold configurations and valve box retrofits. By combining a Male Iron Pipe Thread (MIPT) inlet with a reduced Solvent Cement Socket (SOC) outlet, this fitting eliminates the need for extra nipples or bushings, reducing the number of potential leak points in the system. The high grade PVC construction offers greater wall thickness and impact resistance than generic alternatives, lowering long term maintenance costs and providing your clients with a more reliable irrigation network. Maintaining a stock of these specialized fittings gives your team a competitive edge by allowing for faster, cleaner installations in restrictive spaces.

Key Features
- Space saving street design allows for direct connection into female threaded valves or fittings without a nipple.
- Reducing outlet simplifies pipe transitions while maintaining structural integrity in high pressure zones.
- Engineered from corrosion resistant PVC to withstand aggressive soil conditions and chemical exposure.
- Precision molded threads ensure a leak free seal when used with standard PTFE tape or thread sealant.
- Deep socket depth provides ample surface area for solvent welding, ensuring a permanent chemical bond.
- Smooth internal bore minimizes friction loss and maintains optimal flow rates throughout the system.
Common Applications
- Commercial landscape irrigation
- Residential lawn and garden systems
- Sports turf and golf course maintenance

- Greenhouse and nursery operations
- Potable water supply systems
Installation Notes
For a secure and leak free installation, ensure that the male threads are wrapped with a professional grade PTFE thread seal tape or coated with a non hardening thread sealant before hand tightening into the female port. Follow this with no more than one to two turns with a pipe wrench to avoid over stressing the plastic threads. For the socket connection, clean the pipe and fitting thoroughly, apply a primer, and then use a medium bodied PVC solvent cement according to the manufacturer's cure time recommendations based on ambient temperature and pressure requirements.
