Durable Schedule 40 PVC 90° reducing elbow designed to join a 1/2" slip (socket) to a 3/4" female iron pipe thread (FIPT). Engineered for irrigation, pool/spa, chilled water and many low-pressure plumbing uses, this compact elbow provides a secure transition between socket and threaded connections while maintaining reliable flow direction at a right angle.
