1-1/2 inch Copper DWV 22-1/2 Degree Elbow Copper x Copper

1-1/2” Copper DWV 22-1/2 Degree Elbow – Built for Efficient Drainage Flow Control

The 1-1/2” Copper DWV 22-1/2 Degree Elbow is designed for use in copper drainage, waste, and vent (DWV) systems. Its gentle 22.5° angle allows for smooth directional changes in horizontal drain piping, minimizing turbulence and promoting efficient gravity flow. This fitting is commonly employed in layouts where gradual directional transitions are required to meet code or improve hydraulic performance.

Key Performance Advantages

• ✅ Engineered Slope Adjustment – The 22.5° bend assists in optimizing pitch and directional flow in DWV configurations.
• ✅ Wrot Copper Construction – Made from ASTM B75 or B88 copper, suitable for soldering and corrosion resistance in non-pressurized systems.
• ✅ Socket End Connections – Sweat connection ends ensure a secure mechanical joint when properly soldered.
• ✅ Meets Applicable Codes – Designed in compliance with plumbing code requirements for DWV systems, including ASME B16.29 standards.
• ✅ Ideal for Residential and Light Commercial Use – Frequently used in 1-1/2” branch and fixture arm installations.

Installation Guidance

Install using standard copper DWV soldering practices. Proper joint preparation, including cleaning, flux application, and use of lead-free solder, is essential. This fitting is not intended for pressurized water systems. Ensure compliance with all local and national code requirements during assembly and inspection phases.

Typical Applications

This 22.5° copper elbow is typically used to alter direction in horizontal DWV lines behind walls, in crawl spaces, or within floor systems. Its design helps accommodate spatial constraints and maintains proper pipe slope without compromising flow efficiency.
