90 Degree Street Elbow Fitting for Schedule 40 PVC Pipe (SPIGOT x SLIP) One “specialty” fitting is called the “street elbow” or “spigot elbow” or “spig elbow”. A street elbow has a female fitting on one end and a male fitting on the other end. One end of the fitting is meant to fit into another fitting. Street or “spig” fittings can typically be used in tighter quarters than regular elbows since no pipe nipple is required - it can be connected directly to another fitting without having to use an additional short connecting piece. The “street” or “spig” end of the fitting can be either a slip (spigot) or a FIPT end, but that end is meant to be used to connect into another fittings socket. One type of 90° street ell is the “90° street spig slip elbow”. This elbow has a regular “slip” socket on the end that connects to your pipe, and has a “spig” or “slip” fitting that is meant to glue into another fittings socket on the other end. In other words, the other end of the fitting will actually glue into another fitting. For example, a 3/4” spig slip 90° street elbow will allow a 3/4” smooth pipe to be glued into one side, and the other side will fit inside a 3/4” slip fitting. All of our Schedule 40 fittings are NSF rated 14 & 61, which means they are certified for use with potable (drinking) water. Maximum temperature is 140°F.
