4 inch PVC DWV 45 Degree Street Elbow Fitting x Plastic

4 inch PVC DWV Street 45° Elbow – Solvent-Weld Fitting for Directional Changes in Drainage Systems

The 4 inch PVC DWV Street 45° Elbow is a solvent-weld fitting used to create a 45-degree directional change in non-pressurized drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping systems. Its street (spigot) end allows direct insertion into another hub fitting, reducing the total number of components and simplifying system layout in confined areas.

Manufactured from Schedule 40 PVC, this fitting is designed for use in gravity drainage applications and meets the dimensional and performance requirements of ASTM standards for DWV system fittings. It supports efficient flow redirection while maintaining code-compliant alignment and slope.

Technical Specifications

• Material: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), Schedule 40
• Nominal Size: 4 inches
• Connection Type: Spigot x Hub (Street Elbow)
• Bend Angle: 45 degrees
• Application: DWV (Drainage, Waste, and Vent Systems)
• Standards: ASTM D2665, ASTM D3311

Key Features

• ✅ Street Elbow Design – Features a spigot end for direct fit into hub fittings, reducing space requirements and improving layout efficiency.
• ✅ 45° Sweep – Provides smooth flow transition in drainage lines with minimal resistance and turbulence.
• ✅ Corrosion-Resistant Construction – Resists rust, scaling, and degradation from common household and industrial wastewater compounds.

Installation Guidelines

Install using solvent welding methods. Clean and dry both mating surfaces before applying primer and PVC cement. Ensure full insertion of the spigot into the hub and allow proper curing time prior to pressure testing. Observe local code requirements for orientation and slope in horizontal and vertical drainage applications.

Common Applications

Used in DWV systems for transitioning between pipe runs at a 45° angle. Frequently installed in branch offsets, stack connections, and vent systems where smoother directional changes are required to maintain flow efficiency and prevent clogging. Appropriate for both above-ground and underground drainage installations.

Material and Compliance

Schedule 40 PVC fittings are non-metallic, lead-free, and suitable for potable water drainage. They meet applicable national and regional code requirements for DWV systems, including those set by the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC).

The 4 inch PVC DWV Street 45° Elbow offers a space-efficient and code-compliant solution for redirecting drainage flow in residential and commercial sanitary systems. Its structural integrity, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation make it a standard component in gravity-fed piping assemblies.
