2 inch Copper DWV 45° Elbow – For Directional Changes in Drain-Waste-Vent Systems

The 2 inch Copper DWV 45 Degree Elbow is a key fitting used to create smooth, controlled directional shifts in horizontal and vertical drain-waste-vent (DWV) systems. Its 45° bend allows for efficient flow redirection, minimizing turbulence and maintaining optimal velocity throughout the piping layout.

Manufactured from lead-free wrought copper, this fitting meets code requirements for DWV applications and is commonly specified in systems where performance, longevity, and compliance are critical. It is designed to be soldered to copper tubing, creating a secure, long-lasting joint that can withstand system loads and pressure fluctuations typical of DWV piping.

Professional-Grade Features

• ✅ Engineered for DWV Use – Formed to standard copper tube dimensions, suitable for non-pressurized drainage and venting.
• ✅ Wrought Copper Construction – Durable, corrosion-resistant, and heat-tolerant for soldered installations.
• ✅ 45° Bend Geometry – Allows for gradual directional changes, reducing the likelihood of flow restriction or solids accumulation.
• ✅ Lead-Free Compliance – Conforms to federal and state regulations for potable and non-potable systems.
• ✅ Code Acceptance – Recognized by major plumbing codes including IPC, UPC, and NSF standards for DWV fittings.

Installation Considerations

This elbow is designed for copper-to-copper solder connections. Ensure proper pipe preparation—cleaning, flux application, and torch control—to maintain joint strength and integrity. Use of lead-free solder is required for code-compliant systems. It is critical that fittings be installed with correct slope to maintain drainage performance.

Typical Use Cases

Commonly used in horizontal branch lines and vent stacks, this fitting supports rerouting flow around framing obstructions or changes in elevation. It is especially valuable in installations requiring smoother flow transitions than those provided by 90° fittings, helping reduce system noise and the risk of clog formation.

Regulatory Note

Federal and state plumbing codes now require lead-free materials in all plumbing applications, including DWV systems. This elbow meets those mandates and is marked accordingly for inspector verification.
