A:  The OD of 1" pvc pipe is +/- 1.315 inches and the ID is +/- 1.049 inches.

A:  you are correct. the one inch is a nominal description. Charlotte Pipe products are designed for plumbing applications only.

A:  It is 1" ID, but any irregularities in the dowel would have e to be sanded.

A:  "S x S" refers to " Slip (fitting) x Slip (fitting). I.e., not threaded. In plastic fittings this means one will be joining by gluing. In copper or brass plumbing, slip fittings (non-threaded fittings) are soldered - or, in the case of refrigerant lines, brazed. Sometimes in non-ferrous plumbing nomenclature the "S" designation is inferred to mean "sweat" or the designation "SWT" is used for the fitting end type. In ferrous piping, such slip fittings - either socket end or spigot end - would be welded.

A:  The SXS refers to socket x socket and not street.

A:  It may look larger due to the enlarged photo. It is 45 degrees, and we do not produce a 120 degree fitting.

A:  You can use 2 elbows to get any angle you want. To keep it small, use one regular elbow plus one "street" elbow. The small end of the street elbow fits into the regular elbow, avoiding the need for a small piece of pipe between the elbows.
