3 inch PVC DWV 90 Degree Long Sweep Street Elbow Fitting x Plastic

3 inch PVC Long Turn 90° Street Elbow – Optimized for DWV System Flow

The 3 inch PVC Long Turn Street 90 Degree Elbow is engineered for smooth directional changes in drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems. This long-radius elbow reduces flow resistance and the risk of clogs compared to standard short-turn fittings, making it ideal for maintaining system efficiency in both residential and commercial applications.

Designed with one spigot and one hub end, the fitting allows direct insertion into another hub, reducing the number of joints and conserving space—an important feature when dealing with wall or floor cavity limitations. Constructed from durable PVC, this elbow resists corrosion, chemical degradation, and internal buildup, contributing to long-term system integrity.

Advantages of Long Turn Street Elbows

• ✅ Extended Sweep Radius – Minimizes pressure drop and supports efficient waste flow, reducing the potential for blockages.
• ✅ Integrated Street Design – One spigot end fits directly into a fitting hub, eliminating the need for additional couplings and streamlining installations.
• ✅ Solvent Weld Hub Connection – Compatible with standard solvent cement for a secure and permanent joint.
• ✅ High-Durability PVC – Inert to most chemical effluents and highly resistant to rust, scaling, and impact-related damage.
• ✅ Compliance with Code – Manufactured in accordance with ASTM D2665 and listed by NSF for use in DWV systems.

Specifications

• Material: Schedule 40 PVC
• Nominal Size: 3 inches
• Type: Long Turn Street 90° Elbow
• Ends: Spigot x Hub
• Standards: ASTM D2665; NSF-listed for DWV

Application Scope

This fitting is commonly used in gravity-flow DWV piping layouts to redirect pipe direction while maintaining optimal hydraulic performance. Its long-turn geometry makes it especially useful in horizontal-to-horizontal connections where sweep radius directly influences flow efficiency. Ideal for fixture drains, branch lines, and vent terminations.

Installation Notes

Use primer and solvent cement compatible with PVC for assembly. Allow full curing time per manufacturer guidelines. Avoid using long-turn fittings in vertical-to-horizontal transitions unless approved by code, as some jurisdictions require short-radius fittings in certain directional changes for venting integrity.

Did You Know?

Compared to standard 90° elbows, long turn elbows reduce turbulence and maintain smoother laminar flow, which is critical for effective venting and drainage in multi-fixture systems.

Engineered for reliability and code compliance, the 3 inch PVC Long Turn Street 90° Elbow ensures your DWV system performs efficiently with minimized risk of maintenance issues. It's a go-to solution for contractors focused on durable, high-performance piping layouts.
