Description

Westlake Pipe & Fittings 407007 0.75″ FPT x SKT 90-Degree Elbow

The Westlake 407007 0.75″ FPT x SKT 90-Degree is a compact, purpose-built coupling designed to change flow direction while providing a reliable mechanical and leak-resistant joint between a threaded pipe and a solvent-weld socket connection. Engineered for low- to medium-pressure plumbing and fluid distribution systems, this elbow combines the convenience of a female pipe thread (FPT) on one end with a smooth socket (SKT) on the other, enabling fast transitions from threaded fittings or valves to glued socket piping without the need for additional adapters. Its 90-degree geometry is ideal where space is limited and a clean, right-angle turn is required — for example, routing distribution lines around obstacles, making tight connections in meter or valve assemblies, or changing plane in branch runs.

The elbow’s design focuses on simplicity and long service life. The socket end accepts a standard 0.75″ schedule-compatible pipe and is intended for solvent cement joining: simply clean, primer (if applicable), apply appropriate PVC solvent cement, and seat the pipe for a robust, permanent bond. The threaded female end accepts standard 3/4″ tapered male NPT or BSPT threads (confirm thread standard for your region), allowing a straightforward screw-in connection to threaded valves, nipples, or other fittings.

Durability is a key strength of this elbow. Manufactured to resist corrosion, chemical attack from many common fluids, and the wear of everyday use, it is an excellent choice for irrigation systems, potable (where certified) and non-potable domestic distribution, pool and spa plumbing, and industrial liquid conveyance where compatible with the fitting’s material.

Installation is straightforward and can be completed with standard plumbing tools. For the socket side, proper surface preparation—cleaning and priming where necessary—ensures a leak-tight solvent-weld joint. For the threaded side, use a suitable thread sealant such as PTFE tape or pipe dope rated for the application; tighten to manufacturer torque guidelines (hand + wrench snug, avoid over-tightening) to ensure a durable seal while protecting the molded thread profile.

Westlake’s attention to dimensional consistency means the 407007 fits predictably into assemblies and aligns well with other standard Westlake fittings and pipe. The compact form factor is helpful in retrofit jobs and tight mechanical rooms, while the robust molding resists cracking and deformation during normal handling and installation. The exterior finishes are smooth for easy cleaning and for identifying markings such as size, part number, and possibly production codes.
