1-1/2 inch PVC Schedule 40 45 Degree Street Elbow Fitting x Plastic

1-1/2 Inch PVC Schedule 40 45° Street Elbow – Spigot x Slip

This 1-1/2 inch PVC Schedule 40 street elbow provides a 45-degree directional change in non-pressurized drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping systems. The fitting features a spigot end (male) that fits into a hub or socket, and a slip end (female) that accepts pipe, offering a compact solution for directional offsets where standard elbows are not ideal due to space constraints.

Fitting Characteristics

• ✅ Material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), conforming to ASTM D1784 cell classification 12454
• ✅ Configuration: Street Elbow – Spigot x Slip (Hub)
• ✅ Angle: 45 degrees
• ✅ Schedule: 40 – suitable for DWV systems
• ✅ Nominal Size: 1-1/2 inch

Standards and Compliance

• ✅ Meets: ASTM D2466 for Schedule 40 PVC fittings
• ✅ Application: Designed for gravity-fed DWV systems (not rated for pressurized applications)
• ✅ Joining Method: Solvent weld with approved PVC primer and cement

Installation Guidelines

Ensure pipe ends and fitting sockets are free from debris and properly prepped using ASTM-compliant cleaner and primer. Apply solvent cement per manufacturer instructions. Verify directional orientation prior to bonding, as fittings set rapidly and repositioning is not possible after cure begins. Do not use this fitting in systems that exceed the pressure or temperature ratings defined for Schedule 40 DWV components.

Typical Applications

• Drain and waste branch offsets in residential plumbing
• Vent stack transitions within confined chase spaces
• Remodel and retrofit projects requiring directional changes with minimal fitting length

Material Note

PVC Schedule 40 fittings provide chemical resistance and structural stability in indoor and outdoor DWV installations. Their lightweight nature and resistance to corrosion make them a preferred option for long-term, maintenance-free drainage solutions.
