Sch80 45° ELBOW (FIPT x FIPT)

Product Overview

System failures in high pressure irrigation headers or mainline connections often occur at the most critical moments of the season. When a standard fitting cracks under thermal expansion or surge pressure during a summer heatwave, the resulting system shutdown can lead to rapid turf stress or permanent crop loss. Code violations and failed inspections are common when lower grade materials are used in commercial applications requiring Schedule 80 specifications. Real scarcity in the supply chain often means long lead times for heavy duty piping components when you need them most. Planning your inventory ahead of the peak spring rush ensures your projects stay on schedule and your clients remain satisfied with your reliability.

The Lesso Schedule 80 45 degree elbow offers a significant technical advantage over standard Schedule 40 alternatives by providing thicker walls and higher pressure ratings for demanding environments. This extra material thickness increases the structural integrity of every joint, saving your crews from the labor and expense of future emergency repairs or maintenance call-backs. By choosing a high quality threaded connection, you simplify the transition between system components without the need for solvent welding in tight quarters. Maintaining a stock of these durable fittings gives your firm a competitive edge by allowing for immediate professional grade repairs while others are waiting on back ordered parts.

Available Models & Sizes

We stock a full range of Lesso Schedule 80 45 degree elbows starting from 1/2 inch through 4 inch diameters to meet the needs of diverse project scales. Please contact our sales team for full configuration availability, bulk pricing tiers, or specific technical data sheets for your project submittals.

Key Features

  • Increased wall thickness compared to Schedule 40 for superior burst pressure resistance and longevity.
  • Precision molded FIPT threads ensure a tight, leak free seal with standard male threaded pipe and valves.
  • Exceptional resistance to UV degradation and chemical corrosion common in fertigation and soil treatments.
  • Optimized 45 degree angle design reduces friction loss and turbulence compared to sharp 90 degree turns.
  • Compatible with all standard Schedule 80 and Schedule 40 PVC threaded pipe and nipples.
  • Low thermal conductivity helps prevent condensation and maintains stable fluid temperatures during operation.

Common Applications

  • Commercial landscape irrigation
  • Agricultural and crop irrigation
  • Sports turf and golf course maintenance
  • Municipal parks and public spaces
  • Greenhouse and nursery operations
  • Chemical/fertigation delivery

Installation Notes

When installing these FIPT elbows, it is essential to use a high quality PTFE thread seal tape or a non hardening pipe joint compound specifically formulated for PVC. Hand tighten the connection first, and then apply no more than one to two turns with a strap wrench or pipe wrench to avoid overstressing the female threads. Ensure all connections comply with local plumbing codes and manufacturer torque recommendations to prevent leaks or stress fractures during system pressurization.
