Female Elbow 90 PVC is a type of PVC elbow fitting designed with a 90-degree angle that allows for a change in direction in a PVC pipe system. The term “female” refers to the type of connection the fitting has. In this context, “female” means that the fitting has a socket or opening on one end that allows a male-threaded PVC pipe or fitting to be inserted into it.
Here’s a breakdown of the components of the term:
Female: This indicates that the fitting has a socket or opening to receive a male PVC pipe or fitting. The male end typically has external threads that fit into the female socket.
Elbow: As mentioned earlier, an elbow fitting allows for a 90-degree change in direction for the flow of water or other fluids in a PVC pipe system.
90: This denotes the angle of the elbow, which, in this case, is 90 degrees.
PVC: Polyvinyl Chloride is the material from which the fitting is made, offering durability, corrosion resistance, and affordability for various plumbing applications.
A Female Elbow 90 PVC fitting is commonly used in situations where you need to change the direction of a PVC pipeline while also having a connection point for another PVC pipe or fitting. It provides a strong and secure joint when properly used with PVC solvent cement or glue to bond the male end into the female socket. These fittings are often used in plumbing systems for water supply lines, drainage, irrigation, and other applications where PVC pipes are used.
