The PVC 90 Elbow (Slip x Slip) is the standard professional fitting for creating precise right-angle turns in your irrigation mainline. Designed with two female socket ends, this elbow allows you to route water around landscape obstacles, garden beds, or structures without kinking the line. When paired with PVC Tees, these elbows provide the geometric flexibility needed to build high-performance valve manifolds and distribution headers.
Molded from commercial-grade Schedule 40 PVC, these elbows offer superior flow characteristics compared to corrugated tubing or flexible pipe. They are essential for building stable valve manifolds, pump discharge lines, and header pipes that must remain rigid and leak-free for years of service.
Review the following data for sizing accuracy.

Proper solvent welding is critical for high-pressure corners.
Step 1: Prep
Ensure your PVC pipe is cut squarely. Use a deburring tool to smooth the edges. Clean the outside of the pipe and the inside of the elbow socket with a dry cloth.
Step 2: Prime
Apply PVC Primer to both the pipe end and the internal socket of the elbow. This softens the PVC to facilitate a deep weld.
Step 3: Glue
Apply a liberal coat of PVC Glue to the pipe and a thin layer to the fitting socket while the primer is still wet.
Step 4: Set
Push the pipe into the elbow socket until it hits the internal stop. Give it a quarter-turn twist to distribute the glue. Hold for 30 seconds to prevent the fitting from sliding off.
Verify your pipe types:
