NIBCO 4706-007 Water Supply Elbow

The NIBCO 4706-007 Water Supply Elbow is a professional-grade plumbing fitting designed to facilitate secure and reliable directional changes in water distribution systems. Constructed from high-quality chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), this elbow is engineered to withstand the rigors of both residential and commercial plumbing environments. Its precise design ensures a seamless transition, minimizing the risk of leaks and supporting consistent water flow throughout the installation.

Advantages

This CPVC elbow offers exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal choice for long-term water supply applications. The material properties of CPVC provide excellent thermal stability, allowing the fitting to operate effectively within a wide temperature range. Its lightweight construction simplifies the installation process, while the precise manufacturing ensures a tight, leak-resistant connection that maintains system integrity over time.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply plumbing
• Commercial water distribution systems
• New construction plumbing installations
• System repairs and maintenance requiring a 45-degree angle

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is specifically designed for CPVC piping systems and may not be compatible with metal piping or other plastic materials without the use of appropriate transition adapters. It is not intended for high-pressure industrial steam applications or systems exceeding the specified temperature limits.

Key specifications

• Material: Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC)
• Angle: 45 degrees
• Connection count: 2
• Operating temperature range: 0°C to 80°C
• Color: Yellow

How to use

To install the NIBCO water supply elbow, ensure that the CPVC pipe ends are cut square and deburred to provide a clean surface. Apply an appropriate CPVC solvent cement to both the pipe end and the interior of the fitting socket. Insert the pipe into the elbow with a slight twisting motion to ensure even distribution of the cement, then hold firmly for several seconds to allow the bond to set. Ensure the alignment is correct before the cement cures completely.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing piping system is compatible with CPVC materials.
• Ensure the 45-degree angle meets the specific requirements of your plumbing layout.
• Check that the operating temperature of your water system remains within the 0°C to 80°C range.

Usage recommendations

Always follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidelines regarding the use of solvent cements and installation procedures to ensure a safe and leak-free connection.
