Thrust-Blocking PVC PipeThrust-Blocking PVC, Thrust Block, Thrust-Block, Thrust Blocking

  • Water under pressure exerts thrust forces in piping systems at:  changes in pipe size or direction, dead ends and valves.
  • The design of thrust-blocking requires knowledge of the thrust generated and the bearing strength of the soil against which the thrust block will be placed.
  • To be effective, a thrust block must:
    • be placed against undisturbed or fully compacted earth.
    • contact the fitting over a sufficiently large area so as not to create stress points on the fitting.
    • have sufficient area on the soil to restrain the thrust without exceeding the bearing strength of the soil.
  • Supply line 3″ in diameter and larger shall receive concrete thrust blocks.  Please research specifications for amount of concrete to be used for thrust block.

This elbow provides a 90 degree change of direction on PVC pipe.  Includes gaskets.

Description

The 90 Degree Elbow – IPS – Galvanized is a pipe fitting used in irrigation systems to create a 90-degree turn in the pipeline. Designed with IPS (Iron Pipe Size) threading, this elbow ensures secure and durable connections for water distribution in agricultural, industrial, and landscaping applications.


Key Features:

  1. 90-Degree Turn:
    • Allows pipelines to change direction at a right angle, optimizing layout flexibility and system design.
  2. IPS Threading:
    • Features standard Iron Pipe Size threading for compatibility with a wide range of pipes and fittings.
  3. Material:
    • Constructed from galvanized steel, providing enhanced resistance to rust, corrosion, and environmental wear.
  4. Sizes:
    • Available in various diameters to fit different pipe sizes, commonly ranging from 1/2 inch to several inches.

Applications:

  1. Irrigation Systems:
    • Connects mainlines or lateral lines where directional changes are needed, such as around corners or obstacles.
  2. Pump Connections:
    • Links pipelines to pumps or other equipment, facilitating directional alignment without additional components.
  3. Agricultural Use:
    • Directs water flow efficiently in field irrigation setups, ensuring uniform coverage.
  4. Landscaping:
    • Used in residential or commercial irrigation projects for clean and precise piping layouts.

Benefits:

  1. Durability:
    • Galvanized steel resists corrosion, making it ideal for outdoor and high-moisture environments.
  2. Leak Prevention:
    • IPS threading ensures a tight, secure fit, minimizing water loss and maintaining system efficiency.
  3. Versatility:
    • Suitable for use in various irrigation systems, from small-scale gardens to large agricultural operations.
  4. Ease of Installation:
    • Standard threading and durable material make the elbow easy to install and maintain.

Considerations:

  1. System Compatibility:
    • Ensure the fitting matches the pipe diameter and threading standard of your irrigation system.
  2. Pressure Rating:
    • Verify that the elbow can handle the operating pressure of your system to prevent leaks or failures.
  3. Maintenance:
    • Regularly inspect for signs of wear, especially in high-pressure or chemically treated water systems.

The 90 Degree Elbow – IPS – Galvanized is an essential component for irrigation systems requiring directional changes in pipelines. Its robust construction and standard threading make it a reliable and versatile solution for efficient water management
