Sch80 90° ELBOW (SOC x FIPT)
Product Overview
System failures caused by inferior fittings during the peak of the summer heat can lead to immediate turf damage, costly crop loss, and frustrated clients. When a standard fitting cracks under pressure, your entire crew is sidelined while waiting for a critical replacement. With global supply chains remaining unpredictable and lead times extending for heavy duty components, being caught without the necessary stock during a mid-season repair is a risk your business cannot afford. Securing these high grade elbows now ensures your projects stay on schedule and your reputation for reliability remains intact despite the inevitable seasonal rush.
The Lesso Schedule 80 90 degree elbow provides a significant technical advantage over standard Schedule 40 alternatives. By utilizing a thicker wall construction, this fitting handles higher pressure surges and resists physical impacts that commonly cause thinner fittings to fail in commercial environments. This extra durability translates to fewer callbacks and reduced long term maintenance costs for your clients. Investing in Schedule 80 grade components gives your installs a professional finish and provides you with the competitive edge of delivering a system built to withstand the most demanding hydraulic conditions.

Key Features
- Thick wall Schedule 80 construction provides superior structural integrity and pressure resistance.
- Precision molded socket end ensures a tight, leak free solvent weld bond with standard PVC pipe.
- Deep female pipe threads (FIPT) allow for secure connections to brass or plastic threaded nipples.
- Low thermal conductivity reduces the risk of condensation and maintains stable internal temperatures.
- UV resistant PVC compound prevents brittleness and degradation when used in exposed outdoor settings.
- Smooth internal bore minimizes friction loss and allows for optimized flow rates across the system.
Common Applications
- Commercial landscape irrigation
- Agricultural and crop irrigation
- Sports turf and golf course maintenance
- Municipal parks and public spaces
- Greenhouse and nursery operations
- Potable water supply systems
Installation Notes
For a reliable connection, ensure the socket end is cleaned with a high quality primer before applying solvent cement. When engaging the FIPT side, use a professional grade PTFE thread tape or non hardening pipe dope to prevent leaks. Avoid over tightening threaded connections to prevent stress cracking, which can occur if excessive torque is applied to the female fitting. All installations should be pressure tested prior to backfilling and must comply with local plumbing codes and manufacturer torque specifications.
