2 inch Cast Iron Soil Service Weight 1/4 Bend Hub x Soil

2" Cast Iron Soil Service Weight 1/4 Bend – Standard-Pattern Elbow for Gravity Drainage Systems

The 2" Cast Iron Soil Service Weight 1/4 Bend is a durable drainage fitting used to create 90-degree directional changes in horizontal or vertical soil pipe installations. Designed to support gravity flow in non-pressure sanitary and storm drainage systems, this fitting provides a robust and code-compliant solution for DWV (Drain-Waste-Vent) configurations.

Constructed to Service Weight specifications, it features a standard wall thickness suitable for medium- to heavy-duty residential and commercial plumbing environments. Hub x spigot connection ends allow for integration using lead and oakum or elastomeric couplings as per local codes.

Key Features

• ✅ Nominal Size: 2" (Hub x Spigot)
• ✅ Bend Radius: 1/4 Bend (90-degree angle)
• ✅ Material: ASTM A74 Service Weight Cast Iron
• ✅ Application: Gravity soil, waste, and vent piping systems
• ✅ Connection: Hub and spigot joint compatible with mechanical couplings or traditional joint sealing methods

Installation Considerations

This fitting should be installed in accordance with local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidelines. When using mechanical joint couplings (e.g., neoprene gasket with stainless steel shield), ensure torque settings are properly applied. For traditional joints, molten lead and oakum may be packed to achieve a rigid, leak-resistant connection. Vertical and horizontal support spacing should comply with IPC or UPC standards for cast iron piping.

Typical Use Cases

Commonly utilized in sanitary drainage lines beneath floors or behind walls, this 1/4 bend fitting is ideal for reorienting waste piping in tight spaces or during fixture rough-ins. Its material composition provides acoustic dampening benefits in multi-story buildings, reducing fixture discharge noise in occupied spaces.

Material Insight

Cast iron soil pipe and fittings are specified for their durability, fire resistance, and longevity in concealed piping systems. Service Weight patterns offer the strength required for suspended or embedded applications while allowing flexibility in jointing methods.

The 2" Cast Iron Service Weight 1/4 Bend is a dependable component in any code-compliant drainage design, offering mechanical integrity and ease of alignment in field installations.
