NIBCO 4706-805 Water Supply Elbow 1/2 inch 45 Degree

The NIBCO 4706-805 45-degree water supply elbow is a high-quality plumbing fitting engineered for secure and efficient water distribution. Designed for use in residential and commercial piping systems, this component allows for precise directional changes in water lines. Constructed from durable chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), it provides a reliable solution for maintaining consistent flow while ensuring long-term structural integrity in your plumbing infrastructure.

Advantages

This CPVC elbow offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and chemical degradation, making it a superior choice for water supply applications. Its precise 45-degree angle facilitates smooth transitions in piping layouts, reducing turbulence and pressure loss within the system. The lightweight yet robust material ensures ease of handling during installation, while the standardized 1/2-inch connection size guarantees compatibility with common plumbing components, resulting in a secure and leak-resistant fit.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply lines
• Commercial plumbing distribution systems
• Piping projects requiring 45-degree directional changes
• Potable water installations

This fitting is not suitable for high-temperature applications exceeding 45°C, as the CPVC material may lose its structural integrity under excessive heat. It is also not intended for use in high-pressure steam systems or environments where the piping will be exposed to direct sunlight or extreme mechanical stress.

Key specifications

• Material: Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC)
• Connection size: 1/2 inch
• Angle: 45 degrees
• Connection count: 2
• Operating temperature range: 0°C to 45°C
• Color: Yellow

How to use

To install the NIBCO 4706-805 elbow, ensure that the pipe ends are clean, dry, and free of burrs. Apply an appropriate solvent cement specifically formulated for CPVC piping to both the interior of the fitting and the exterior of the pipe. Insert the pipe into the elbow with a slight twisting motion to ensure even distribution of the cement, then hold the connection firmly for several seconds until the bond sets. Allow sufficient curing time as recommended by the solvent cement manufacturer before pressurizing the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 1/2-inch size matches your existing piping diameter.
• Ensure the operating temperature of your system does not exceed 45°C.
• Confirm that your piping system is compatible with CPVC materials.
• Check local building codes for specific requirements regarding water supply fittings.

Usage recommendations

Always use professional-grade solvent cement compatible with CPVC to ensure a permanent, leak-proof seal. Avoid over-tightening or applying excessive mechanical force during installation to prevent stress fractures in the fitting.
