6 inch Cast Iron Soil Service Weight 1/8 Bend Hub x Soil

6" Cast Iron Soil Pipe Service Weight 1/8 Bend – 45° Hub Fitting for DWV Systems

The 6" Service Weight 1/8 Bend is a heavy-duty cast iron fitting engineered for gravity-fed drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems. Designed to produce a 45-degree directional change, this fitting is precision-manufactured to meet the performance demands of commercial, industrial, and residential plumbing installations.

Produced in accordance with ASTM A74 standards, this bend features a hub end and is intended for use with service weight cast iron pipe and compatible joining methods such as lead and oakum or approved mechanical couplings. Its solid cast construction and asphaltic coating enhance corrosion resistance while contributing to the long service life expected from cast iron DWV systems.

Key Specifications

• Size: 6-inch nominal diameter
• Bend Angle: 1/8 bend (45 degrees)
• Connection Type: Hub (female)
• Material: Gray cast iron conforming to ASTM A74
• Finish: Factory-applied asphaltic coating

Product Features

• Structural Integrity: High-strength iron provides excellent load-bearing capacity, suitable for underground or above-grade use
• Fire Resistance: Non-combustible composition meets fire code requirements
• Noise Reduction: Naturally dampens the sound of water and waste flow within piping
• Dimensional Accuracy: Precision-cast to maintain tight tolerances, ensuring consistent mating with adjacent pipe and fittings
• Code Compliant: Acceptable under major U.S. plumbing codes for DWV installations

Installation Guidelines

Installation should be performed by qualified professionals using methods suitable for service weight hub and spigot systems. Ensure proper bedding and alignment during placement. Joint assembly may require lead and oakum sealing or mechanical couplings certified for service weight cast iron pipe. Adherence to local plumbing codes is essential for compliant installation.

Typical Applications

This 6" cast iron 1/8 bend is commonly used to redirect horizontal or vertical DWV lines in multi-story buildings, commercial restrooms, healthcare facilities, and other large-scale plumbing networks. It is ideal for areas requiring long-lasting, acoustically quiet, and fire-resistant systems.

Did You Know?

Cast iron DWV systems have a lifespan exceeding 50 years under proper conditions and remain the preferred choice for projects requiring performance in high-traffic or noise-sensitive environments.
