1-1/4 inch PVC 90 Degree Insert Elbow Insert x Male

1-1/4” PVC Insert 90° Elbow – Barbed Fitting for Polyethylene Pipe Transitions

The 1-1/4 inch PVC 90 Degree Insert Elbow is a barbed fitting designed for use with flexible polyethylene (PE) tubing in cold water and irrigation systems. This fitting allows for a 90-degree directional change while maintaining full bore flow, minimizing the risk of kinking or flow restriction at the turn.

Constructed from Type I, Grade I polyvinyl chloride as defined by ASTM D1784, this elbow is compatible with cold-water distribution lines where mechanical insert connections are specified. Barbed ends offer reliable mechanical retention when secured with stainless steel hose clamps.

Key Features

• ✅ Nominal Size: 1-1/4 inch insert x insert
• ✅ Connection Type: Insert/barbed ends for flexible PE pipe
• ✅ Material: Injection-molded PVC (typically Schedule 80 or equivalent wall thickness)
• ✅ Pressure Rating: Up to 100 PSI at 73°F (varies by pipe and clamp type)
• ✅ Compliance: May conform to ASTM D2609 for plastic insert fittings; NSF 14/61 certified when marked accordingly

Installation Requirements

Install by pushing the barbed ends into compatible polyethylene tubing and securing with corrosion-resistant hose clamps. No solvent cement is required. Ensure pipe is cut cleanly and inserted fully past all barbs to avoid pullout under system pressure. Avoid excessive bending stress at the elbow to maintain joint integrity.

Common Applications

Used in residential and commercial cold-water systems including landscape irrigation, water service lines, well pump hook-ups, and agricultural piping installations. Suitable for both buried and above-ground systems where flexibility and corrosion resistance are required.

Material Consideration

PVC insert fittings provide strong resistance to chemical exposure, abrasion, and UV degradation. Not intended for use with hot water, pressurized air or gas systems, or for use with rigid piping types such as copper or CPVC.
