Sch40 SIDE OUTLET ELBOW (SOC x SOC x SOC)
Product Overview
Missing a single specialty fitting can bring an entire commercial installation to a grinding halt. When your crews encounter a corner that requires a vertical riser or an additional lateral run, lacking a Schedule 40 side outlet elbow leads to improvised plumbing that often violates local codes or fails under pressure. During the peak of the irrigation season, supply chain gaps for multi-directional fittings are common; waiting on a back-order while turf dies or inspection deadlines pass is a risk your business cannot afford. Securing your inventory of Lesso three-way elbows now ensures your projects stay on schedule even when heat waves drive up local demand.
Lesso Schedule 40 PVC fittings provide a superior internal finish compared to budget imports, which reduces friction loss and prevents debris buildup within the joint. This side outlet elbow allows for a clean, 90-degree corner transition while simultaneously providing a branch outlet, eliminating the need for bulky tee and elbow combinations that increase labor time and potential leak points. By utilizing these high-tolerance components, you reduce the total number of solvent-weld joints on a job site. This efficiency translates to faster pressure testing and lower long-term maintenance costs for your clients, giving your firm a reputation for clean, professional-grade workmanship.

Installation Notes
Before applying solvent cement, ensure all pipe ends are square and deburred to prevent stress cracking. Use a high-quality primer and solvent cement matched to the pipe size and environmental temperature. Once the pipe is seated in the socket, give it a quarter-turn to ensure even distribution of the cement; hold the joint firmly for thirty seconds to prevent push-out during the initial set. Always allow for the manufacturer-recommended cure time before performing a system pressure test to ensure all 3-way connections are fully bonded.
