NIBCO 4707-805 Water Supply Elbow 1/2 inch 90-degree

The NIBCO 4707-805 Water Supply Elbow is a professional-grade plumbing fitting designed to facilitate a 90-degree change in direction for water supply lines. Constructed from high-quality chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), this component is engineered to provide a robust and reliable connection in both residential and commercial water distribution systems. Its precise design ensures a secure fit, promoting efficient water flow and long-term durability within your plumbing infrastructure.

Advantages

This CPVC elbow offers exceptional resistance to corrosion and chemical degradation, making it an ideal choice for modern water supply networks. The material properties of CPVC ensure that the fitting maintains its structural integrity over time, even when exposed to varying water temperatures. Its lightweight nature simplifies the installation process, while the precise 90-degree geometry allows for clean and efficient pipe routing in tight spaces, reducing the need for complex piping configurations.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply systems
• Commercial plumbing installations
• Cold and hot water distribution lines
• Retrofitting or repairing existing CPVC piping networks

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is specifically designed for CPVC piping systems and is not compatible with metal pipes or other plastic materials that require different joining methods. It should not be used in applications where the operating temperature exceeds 80°C or in systems subject to extreme mechanical stress or vibration.

Key specifications

• Material: Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC)
• Connection count: 2
• Angle: 90 degrees
• 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 remove any rough edges. Clean both the exterior of the pipe and the interior of the fitting socket using an appropriate cleaner. Apply a suitable CPVC solvent cement evenly to both surfaces. Immediately insert the pipe into the fitting with a slight twisting motion to ensure full coverage. Hold the joint in place for the time specified by the solvent cement manufacturer to allow for an initial bond before releasing.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing piping system is compatible with CPVC materials.
• Ensure the 1/2-inch diameter matches your current pipe size.
• Confirm that the operating temperature of your system stays within the 0°C to 80°C range.
• Check local building codes for compliance regarding CPVC plumbing installations.

Usage recommendations

Always use high-quality solvent cement specifically formulated for CPVC to ensure a permanent, leak-proof seal. Avoid over-applying the cement, as excess material can weaken the joint interior.
