Description

Westlake Pipe & Fittings 407010 1″ FPT x SKT 90-Degree Elbow

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 407010 1″ FPT x SKT 90-Degree Elbow is a high-quality PVC plumbing fitting designed to provide a precise 90-degree directional change in 1-inch Schedule 40 PVC piping systems. Combining a female pipe thread (FPT) on one end with a slip (SKT) socket on the other, this elbow offers versatile installation options for systems requiring both threaded and solvent-weld connections. Its durable construction, precise design, and reliable performance make it ideal for pool and spa plumbing, irrigation systems, water features, and general fluid-handling applications.

Constructed from premium Schedule 40 PVC, the 407010 elbow provides excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, moisture, and UV exposure. Unlike metal fittings, which can corrode, pit, or rust over time, this PVC elbow maintains structural integrity and leak-free performance for long-lasting use. Its robust design ensures durability under varying pressure conditions, making it suitable for both residential and commercial plumbing projects.

The elbow’s design includes a 1-inch FPT end for secure connection to male threaded pipes, valves, or other fittings, while the slip socket end (SKT) allows for a solvent-weld installation with standard 1-inch PVC pipe. Using PVC primer and solvent cement, the socket connection forms a permanent, watertight joint that becomes an integral part of the piping system. Precision molding guarantees accurate dimensions and proper alignment, minimizing the risk of leaks or joint failure.

The 90-degree configuration allows fluid to navigate corners and obstacles efficiently, maintaining optimal flow while minimizing turbulence and pressure loss. This smooth internal design is particularly advantageous in circulation lines, irrigation mains, or systems where consistent hydraulic performance is essential. The elbow’s design ensures efficient routing without requiring multiple fittings, simplifying system layouts and reducing installation complexity.

Despite its strong construction, the 407010 remains lightweight and easy to handle, allowing for straightforward installation even in tight or confined spaces. Its compact profile makes it ideal for use in retrofits or complex piping layouts. The clean white PVC finish provides a professional appearance and enables easy visual inspection of solvent-weld joints during installation and maintenance.

The Westlake 407010 1″ FPT x SKT 90-Degree Elbow meets industry standards for Schedule 40 pressure-rated PVC components, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of PVC pipes and fittings. This combination of threaded and solvent-weld connections provides flexibility, reliability, and long-term performance in any plumbing system. Whether for new installations or repairs, the 407010 delivers dependable service, optimized flow, and professional-grade quality.
