4 inch ABS DWV 90 Degree Street Elbow Fitting x Plastic

4-Inch ABS DWV 90-Degree Street Elbow – Compact Directional Solution for Drainage Systems

The 4-Inch ABS DWV 90-Degree Street Elbow is a solvent-weld fitting designed for use in drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems. Its street-style configuration—featuring a spigot x hub connection—allows for a more compact installation compared to traditional hub x hub elbows, reducing the number of fittings required and optimizing layout efficiency in tight spaces.

Product Advantages

• Material: High-strength ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) provides excellent impact resistance and dimensional stability
• Angle: 90 degrees for sharp directional changes in horizontal or vertical piping systems
• Connection Type: Spigot x Hub – fits directly into another ABS hub without the need for an additional pipe nipple
• Code Compliance: Meets ASTM D2661 and CSA B181.1 requirements for DWV fittings in non-pressurized systems
• Temperature Range: Suitable for use in non-pressure sanitary systems where temperature does not exceed 140°F

Common Applications

This 90-degree street elbow is commonly used in residential and commercial DWV installations where piping must turn sharply without adding extra length. It is ideal for transitions between vertical stacks and horizontal drainage lines, or for tight wall and floor penetrations in multi-story buildings.

Installation Guidelines

Installation should follow standard ABS DWV practices. Use a compatible ABS solvent cement (ASTM D2235 certified) and ensure that all mating surfaces are clean and dry. Apply cement evenly to both the spigot and hub and insert the fitting with a slight twisting motion to create a strong bond. Do not pressurize or test the system until the joint has properly cured per the cement manufacturer’s specifications.

Did You Know?

Street elbows like this one reduce the number of joints and pipe cuts, which not only minimizes installation time but also reduces potential leak points. Their compact footprint is especially beneficial when working within framed assemblies or mechanical chases.

Summary

For reliable 90-degree turns in ABS DWV systems, the 4-Inch ABS Street Elbow offers the durability, efficiency, and code compliance demanded by plumbing professionals. Whether you're managing new construction or retrofit work, this fitting supports long-term system integrity and streamlined assembly.
