Rain Bird PVC valve fitting 1306-010 - 90° union elbow - 1-inch M to 1-inch M

90° elbow for Rain Bird valve manifolds

The Rain Bird RB1306-010 is a compact 90° PVC elbow for the modular Rain Bird valve manifold system. With two 1-inch male connections, it provides a 90-degree change of direction and is particularly useful for creating space-saving valve assemblies inside a valve box.

The elbow belongs to the Rain Bird RB1300 Series with male valve connections and can be combined with compatible components from the PVC manifold system.

90° connection with 1-inch male threads

The RB1306-010 features two 1-inch male connections. Its 90° design allows you to change the direction of the connection within a valve assembly and create an organised installation even where space is limited.

The elbow is suitable for residential garden irrigation as well as larger automatic irrigation systems and is particularly useful when constructing valve manifolds inside valve boxes.

Telescoping system for easy valve replacement

The RB1306-010 is part of the telescoping Rain Bird PVC manifold system. This system simplifies the replacement of irrigation valves with different installation lengths without cutting the existing pipework or adding additional components.

The detachable system connections also make maintenance and future modifications easier. Individual components can be removed, replaced or repositioned when required.

Easy installation with O-ring seals

Large O-rings provide reliable sealing at the designated system connections. The components of the Rain Bird PVC manifold system are designed for simple hand-tightened installation and can be loosened again for maintenance.

No additional Teflon tape is required on the designated O-ring-sealed system connections. This simplifies the construction of the valve manifold and makes future expansion or modification easier.

Frequently asked questions about the Rain Bird RB1306-010

Which connections does the RB1306-010 have?

The 90° elbow features two 1-inch male connections and is designed for compatible 1-inch connections within the Rain Bird PVC manifold system.

What is the 90° elbow used for?

The RB1306-010 allows the connection direction within a valve assembly to be changed by 90 degrees. This is particularly useful where space inside a valve box is limited or the manifold layout needs to be adapted.

Can I connect an irrigation valve with a 1-inch female thread?

Yes. The RB1300 Series uses male valve connections designed for compatible irrigation valves with female threads.

Does the RB1306-010 use an O-ring seal?

Yes. The elbow is part of the Rain Bird manifold system with large O-rings that provide reliable sealing at the designated system connections.

Is Teflon tape required?

No additional Teflon tape is required on the designated O-ring-sealed connections of the Rain Bird PVC manifold system.

What is the maximum operating pressure?

Rain Bird specifies a maximum operating pressure of 10.5 bar for the PVC manifold system.
