Best Answer

PVC is a type of Plumbing pipe generally used for sprinkler systems. The pipe is usually white but can come in other colors. The elbow is used to allow the pipe to change directions.

On the other hand, if you're referring to a PCVelbow, that's something altogether different.

The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valve pulls gasses out of the crankcase and runs them through the intake. The PCV valve connects to the engine vacuum through a series of tubes, hoses and even elbows. The PCV Elbow allows the vacuum line to be routed more conveniently. If you can't find a replacement elbow at your local auto parts store you MAY need to go to the dealer.

How do you make a PVC pipe paintball gun?

i have seen a few made with a fire extinguisher and some PVC, but they should never be used in a game since there is no way to regulate how fast the paintball comes out of the barrel, as to how they make them, search around for pictures, all you really need is the PVC, some fittings and elbow grease


How do you replace a Pcv valve on 2001 Lincoln LS v6?

To replace the PVC valve on a 3 litre v 6 Lincoln . ls You need to remove the intake manifold ( throttle body included ) then remove the BLACK (intake port) structure which also contains the fuel injectors and fuel delivery tube ( F.Y.I this is all one unit) then you will see a small square box (about two inches square ) that contains the PVC valve and a rubber elbow ( about 135 degree bend ) joining the PVC valve to a tube. Now THIS IS THE TRICKY PART take a screwdriver (that is not so sharp) Push the elbow off the PVC valve and when that end is free remove the other end of the elbow from the tube. With the elbow OFF. take a LARGE needle nose pliers and turn the the PVC valve HALF TURN to disconnect. CAUTION. there is enough room in the 'VALLEY' to accomplish this. Its not easy but quite possible If You cant disconnect the elbow this way you need to remove a ( 8 mm ) nut at the back of the engine block ( between the block and the firewall ) which secures the tube that the elbow is connected to. This engine is somewhat unique Please CHANGE THE PLUGS and do a ohms meter check of the coil on plug units that are under the manifold. use GOOD SPARK PLUGS because you will not be doing this too often
