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

1 inch PVC Schedule 40 45° Street Elbow – Solvent Weld Fitting for Directional Transitions

The 1 inch PVC Schedule 40 45° Street Elbow is a solvent-weld pressure fitting designed for directional changes in rigid piping systems. This fitting features a spigot x socket connection, allowing it to fit directly into another socketed fitting without requiring additional couplings. Manufactured from high-impact, non-corrosive polyvinyl chloride (PVC), it is intended for use in cold water pressure distribution, irrigation, and drainage systems.

Material and Performance Characteristics

• ✅ Material: PVC Type I, Grade 1 per ASTM D1784 (Cell Classification 12454)
• ✅ Size: 1 inch nominal (spigot x socket)
• ✅ Standard: Conforms to ASTM D2466 and NSF 14 requirements
• ✅ Operating Pressure: Rated for 150 PSI @ 73°F when used in pressure-rated systems
• ✅ Fitting Angle: 45 degrees for smooth directional changes that reduce turbulence and flow restriction

Installation Guidelines

Install using standard solvent welding procedures in accordance with ASTM D2855. Surfaces must be clean and dry prior to the application of primer and cement. Fit alignment is critical during the curing period to ensure system integrity. Avoid excessive force when inserting spigot end into socket to maintain dimensional tolerance.

Typical Applications

This 45° street elbow is commonly used in pressure and DWV systems to create gradual turns that minimize flow disruption. Applications include cold water supply, landscape irrigation, pool plumbing, and vent piping systems. The street-end design minimizes joint count and space requirements, making it ideal for compact installations.

Compliance and Material Insight

PVC Schedule 40 fittings are resistant to chemical corrosion, scale buildup, and microbial growth. They are not suitable for hot water systems or compressed air. This fitting is certified for potable water service when marked accordingly with NSF/ANSI 61 compliance.

The 1 inch PVC Schedule 40 45° Street Elbow provides a durable, low-maintenance solution for directional transitions in rigid piping layouts. Designed for long-term system performance, it offers fast installation and reliable flow control in a variety of residential and commercial plumbing environments.
