4 inch PVC 60° DWV Elbow – Solvent Weld Fitting for Drainage Applications

The 4 inch PVC 60° DWV Elbow is designed for directing flow in non-pressurized waste and vent piping systems. Engineered for use with Schedule 40 DWV systems, this elbow provides a smooth, efficient change in direction at a 60-degree angle, helping to maintain consistent slope and proper drainage throughout the line.

Manufactured to meet ASTM D2665 and D3311 specifications, this elbow is injection-molded from durable PVC for dimensional accuracy and long service life. Its solvent weld hub connections create strong, sealed joints when properly installed using PVC primer and cement, ensuring leak resistance in gravity-fed systems.

Key Features

• 60° Bend Angle: Facilitates intermediate directional changes between 45° and 90°, ideal for layout flexibility in DWV design.
• Slip x Slip Connection: Socket ends accept 4 inch nominal DWV pipe for solvent weld assembly.
• High-Strength PVC: Resistant to corrosion, chemical attack, and degradation over time in buried or exposed installations.
• Code Compliant: Suitable for use in systems governed by UPC and IPC code requirements.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Size: 4 inches
• Material: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)
• Angle: 60 degrees
• End Type: Hub x Hub (Slip x Slip)
• Standards: Conforms to ASTM D2665 and D3311

Common Applications

This elbow is used in residential and commercial drain-waste-vent systems to direct flow in branch lines, fixture drains, and main stacks. Its intermediate angle is particularly useful in situations where standard 45° or 90° fittings cannot meet layout or slope requirements.

Installation Notes

Install with proper solvent welding procedures using approved primer and cement. Ensure pipe ends are square-cut and chamfered before assembly. Allow adequate curing time per manufacturer instructions prior to system testing. Not intended for pressurized water or gas systems.

Did You Know?

The 60° DWV elbow offers a hydraulic advantage over sharper angles by reducing turbulence and maintaining consistent flow velocity, which is important for long horizontal runs and minimizing potential clog points.

The 4 inch PVC 60° DWV Elbow offers dependable performance in drainage systems requiring thoughtful layout and precision. Its durable construction and compliant design make it a reliable choice for new builds and retrofit work where optimal flow and code compliance are required.
