5 inch Cast Iron Soil Service Weight 1/16 Bend Hub x Soil

5" Cast Iron Service Weight 1/16 Bend Hub – 22.5° Fitting for DWV Systems

The 5" Cast Iron Soil Pipe 1/16 Bend is a hub-end fitting designed to redirect the direction of drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping by 22.5 degrees. Engineered to meet the stringent demands of both commercial and residential plumbing applications, this bend delivers long-term performance in high-volume wastewater systems.

Manufactured in compliance with ASTM A74, this fitting is composed of durable gray cast iron and finished with a protective asphaltic coating to resist corrosion. It is designed for use in hub and spigot systems, typically joined using molten lead and oakum or code-approved mechanical couplings, depending on the installation context.

Key Specifications

• Nominal Size: 5 inches
• Bend Angle: 1/16 bend (22.5 degrees)
• Connection Type: Hub x Hub
• Material: Cast Iron (ASTM A74)
• Finish: Asphaltic coating for corrosion resistance

Performance Features

• Precision-Cast Body: Ensures dimensional stability and compatibility with adjacent components
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Rated for non-pressure DWV applications above or below grade
• Sound-Dampening Properties: Reduces the transmission of noise from water and waste movement
• Fire-Resistant: Cast iron does not burn, providing enhanced safety in fire-rated assemblies
• Industry Standard Compliance: Approved for use in systems governed by IPC, UPC, and other recognized codes

Installation Recommendations

Install using traditional hub and spigot methods, including proper packing and sealing with lead and oakum or the use of approved mechanical couplings. Ensure alignment and support according to local code to avoid stress on the fitting. Always confirm material compatibility and system slope for gravity DWV installations.

Typical Applications

The 5" 1/16 Bend is commonly used in sanitary systems for slight directional changes in horizontal runs. It is suitable for installation in building drain branches, fixture arms, and vent offsets where gradual redirection is necessary without impeding flow.

Did You Know?

Service weight cast iron soil pipe systems have been used for over a century due to their longevity and reliability. Their acoustic dampening characteristics make them a preferred solution in multi-level structures where noise control is important.
