3 inch PVC DWV 60 Degree Elbow Plastic x Plastic

3 inch PVC 60° DWV Elbow – Slip x Slip

The 3 inch PVC 60-Degree Elbow is designed for use in DWV (drain, waste, and vent) systems, providing directional changes in horizontal piping runs where a smoother flow path is required compared to standard 90° elbows. This fitting features slip (hub) connections on both ends for solvent-welded assembly.

Product Features

• Angle: 60 degrees for reduced flow resistance and improved directional transitions in gravity-based drainage systems.
• Connection: Hub x Hub (Slip x Slip), compatible with ASTM D2665 Schedule 40 PVC pipe.
• Material: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) conforming to ASTM D1784 Cell Classification 12454-B.
• Application: Non-pressurized DWV systems in residential and light commercial construction.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Size: 3 inches
• Type: Elbow, 60° bend
• Compliance: Meets ASTM D2665 and NSF/ANSI Standard 14 for plastic piping systems
• Temperature Rating: Up to 140°F (60°C) continuous in non-pressure DWV systems

Installation Notes

This elbow is designed for solvent cement welding. For proper installation:

• Clean both mating surfaces before applying primer and PVC cement.
• Maintain insertion depth and alignment for full socket engagement.
• Observe set and cure times per ASTM D2855 guidelines based on temperature and pipe size.

Applications

Used primarily in horizontal DWV piping layouts behind walls, floors, or in crawlspaces where 45° or 90° fittings are not optimal. Suitable for branch connections where gradual direction change improves flow efficiency and venting behavior.

Code Requirements

All fittings must be installed in accordance with local plumbing codes. This product is listed by NSF for use in drain, waste, and vent applications.

The 3 inch PVC 60° DWV Elbow offers a balance between space efficiency and flow performance, making it a reliable component in residential drainage system design. It’s suitable for use in new construction or system retrofits where direction changes require improved hydraulic performance.
