1-1/2 inch PVC DWV 60-Degree Elbow – Engineered for Tight Transitions and Reliable Drainage

The 1-1/2 inch PVC DWV 60-Degree Elbow is specifically designed for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems where space constraints or directional changes require a tighter angle than standard 90° or 45° fittings. This elbow provides a smooth transition with minimal flow restriction, making it ideal for branch connections or offsets in confined spaces.

Key Features and Benefits

• Angle Design: 60-degree bend enables directional changes in areas where a 45-degree or 90-degree elbow would be inefficient or incompatible.
• DWV Application: Optimized for non-pressurized systems, ensuring smooth, consistent flow of wastewater and air within building drainage systems.
• Slip Connection: Slip x Slip ends accommodate solvent welding for a permanent and secure joint with Schedule 40 DWV pipe.
• Durable PVC Material: Manufactured from rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) offering corrosion resistance, chemical stability, and high tensile strength.
• Code Compliance: Conforms to ASTM D2665 and CSA B181.2 standards for DWV fittings, ensuring suitability for residential and light commercial systems.

Installation Considerations

Ensure pipe and fitting ends are free of debris and dry before applying a medium-bodied PVC solvent cement. Follow manufacturer-recommended cure times based on temperature and humidity. For optimal system performance, maintain proper slope in horizontal runs and confirm alignment before setting.

Typical Use Cases

This 60-degree elbow is commonly installed in sanitary branch lines where limited space requires a reduced bend radius. It is frequently used in vertical-to-horizontal transitions in bathroom groups or utility rooms and can serve as a solution for alignment challenges during remodels or retrofits.

Did You Know?

60-degree elbows help minimize turbulence compared to 90-degree fittings, promoting better venting and waste flow, particularly in high-efficiency systems or when multiple fixtures share the same drain line.

The 1-1/2 inch PVC DWV 60-Degree Elbow is a practical, code-approved component for any professional-grade drainage installation. Its precision fit and durable construction support long-term reliability in modern DWV systems.
