3 inch ABS DWV 22-1/2 Degree Street Elbow Fitting x Plastic

3 inch ABS DWV 22-1/2° Street Elbow – Directional Transition for Drainage Systems

The 3 inch ABS DWV 22-1/2 degree street elbow is engineered for directional changes in non-pressurized drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems. Its street-end configuration simplifies fittings-to-pipe alignment, making it suitable for installations requiring a gradual offset or directional reroute in confined layouts.

Performance-Focused Manufacturing

This elbow fitting is molded from high-grade ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) and designed to meet the performance demands of code-compliant DWV systems. Key technical advantages include:

• ✅ Injection-Molded Accuracy Tight dimensional tolerances ensure a secure solvent-weld connection for long-term reliability.
• ✅ Formulated for DWV Use Constructed from ABS materials rated for gravity-fed drainage and vent applications.
• ✅ Lead-Free Composition Compliant with current standards restricting hazardous materials in plumbing systems.

Installation Considerations

This fitting is solvent-weld compatible and should be installed using an approved ABS cement to ensure structural and leak-resistant bonding. The street elbow design eliminates the need for a coupling at one joint, reducing material use and simplifying installation. Ensure full socket engagement and proper curing time for dependable performance.

Applications & Use Cases

Commonly deployed in residential and light commercial DWV systems, this fitting is used for redirecting horizontal piping runs or offsetting lines to navigate around obstructions. Its 22-1/2 degree bend is ideal when subtle changes in direction are necessary to meet code or physical space constraints.

Material Insight

ABS is a thermoplastic known for its strength-to-weight ratio, chemical resistance, and long service life in DWV systems. It is a preferred choice for non-pressurized plumbing due to its easy solvent welding process and performance in below- and above-grade applications.

The 3 inch ABS DWV 22-1/2° Street Elbow delivers a reliable transition point within gravity-flow plumbing systems, facilitating efficient design layout and compliant installation. Suitable for both new construction and renovation work, it is a practical solution for directional adjustments without the need for multiple fittings.
