3 inch ABS DWV 45 Degree Street Elbow Fitting x Plastic

3 inch ABS DWV 45° Street Elbow – For Directional Transitions in Drain, Waste, and Vent Systems

The 3 inch ABS DWV 45 Degree Street Elbow is a solvent-weld fitting designed for use in non-pressurized sanitary drainage systems. Its street (spigot) x hub configuration enables efficient directional changes with reduced fitting counts, making it ideal for space-constrained layouts and field adaptations.

Manufactured from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), the fitting offers high impact resistance and dimensional stability, particularly in environments subject to vibration or temperature variation. Commonly used in vertical and horizontal DWV configurations, this elbow is engineered to support consistent slope and maintain proper flow velocity through the system.

Product Features

• ✅ ABS Thermoplastic Construction: Lightweight, rigid, and durable material suitable for DWV applications per ASTM D2661.
• ✅ Street x Hub Connection: Allows direct mating with hub-end fittings, reducing the need for additional couplings and saving installation space.
• ✅ 45° Sweep: Facilitates smoother transitions and minimizes turbulence and resistance in gravity drainage lines.
• ✅ Solvent Weld Joint: Compatible with standard ABS solvent cement for a permanent, leak-resistant seal.
• ✅ Code-Compliant Design: Meets plumbing code requirements for residential and commercial DWV installations.

Installation Considerations

Proper installation requires use of ABS solvent cement and adequate support of connected piping. Ensure dry fitting prior to welding and verify direction and slope before assembly. Clean mating surfaces to remove debris or grease before applying cement. All work should conform to local code requirements, including minimum slope and venting distances.

Typical Applications

This 45° street elbow is used in drain and vent branches, fixture arms, and reventing configurations where gradual directional changes are needed. Its compact profile allows integration into remodels, in-wall pipe runs, or limited-space areas where maneuverability is limited.

Material Insight

ABS DWV components are valued for their resistance to chemical corrosion and thermal expansion in above-ground drainage systems. They maintain integrity in both conditioned and unconditioned spaces, making them suitable for residential, commercial, and institutional plumbing installations.
