1-1/2 inch ABS DWV 45 Degree Elbow Plastic x Plastic

1-1/2” ABS DWV 45 Degree Elbow – Engineered for Directional Drainage Transitions

The 1-1/2” ABS DWV 45 Degree Elbow is a molded fitting designed for use in non-pressurized sanitary drainage and vent systems. Its 45-degree bend allows for gradual directional changes in horizontal or vertical runs, optimizing flow characteristics and minimizing turbulence and clog risk in residential and commercial applications.

Manufactured from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), this elbow is recognized for its rigidity, impact resistance, and ease of installation in above-ground piping assemblies. All critical dimensions and tolerances meet or exceed applicable ASTM and CSA standards for DWV systems.

Key Benefits and Features

• Material: Injection-molded ABS provides lightweight durability and chemical resistance in sanitary systems.
• Angle: 45-degree bend offers improved hydraulic flow over sharper angles in drainage configurations.
• Connection Type: Hub x Hub solvent-weld sockets for joining with ABS pipe using solvent cement.
• Standards: Complies with ASTM D2661 and CSA B181.1 for DWV applications.
• Use Case: Facilitates smooth changes in direction between piping runs in gravity flow systems.

Installation Considerations

This fitting is intended for solvent-weld connection using appropriate ABS solvent cement and primer. Ensure both pipe ends and socket interiors are clean and dry prior to bonding. Apply even pressure and allow appropriate cure time as defined by manufacturer and jobsite conditions. Installation should follow local plumbing codes and be carried out by trained personnel where required.

Typical Applications

• Residential bathroom and kitchen drainage lines
• Vent piping to maintain pressure equilibrium
• Low-slope horizontal drainage transitions
• Basement or crawl space DWV alterations or extensions

Note:

This fitting is not intended for use in pressurized systems or for potable water distribution. For vertical-to-horizontal flow transitions, consider coupling with cleanouts or access fittings as needed.

The 1-1/2” ABS DWV 45 Degree Elbow is a standard component in drain, waste, and vent installations. It supports efficient wastewater conveyance and complies with strict dimensional and performance tolerances. Specifying quality fittings ensures long-term reliability in system design and construction.
