6 inch PVC SDR 35 22-1/2 inch Degree Elbow Gasket x Gasket

G1706 WEST SDR35 22-1/2° Elbow GXG 6 inch – Designed for Smooth Directional Changes in Sewer Systems

The G1706 WEST SDR35 22-1/2° Elbow is a gasketed PVC fitting engineered for use in gravity-flow sewer and drainage applications. With its 22-1/2-degree angle and 6-inch size, this elbow is ideal for navigating directional transitions in confined areas while maintaining optimal flow performance.

Product Advantages

• SDR35 PVC Construction: Manufactured from polyvinyl chloride to ASTM D3034 specifications, offering strength, flexibility, and resistance to chemical corrosion.
• 22-1/2° Bend Radius: Designed to allow gentle changes in pipeline direction, minimizing flow disruption and reducing the likelihood of solids accumulation.
• Gasket x Gasket Connections: Factory-installed elastomeric gaskets provide a watertight seal and enable quick, secure push-fit installation without solvent welding.
• Code-Compliant: Meets industry requirements for non-pressure drainage systems, including ASTM D3212 joint integrity standards.

Technical Specifications

• Fitting Type: 22-1/2° Elbow
• Size: 6 inches nominal diameter
• Material: PVC (ASTM D3034, SDR35)
• Connections: Gasket x Gasket (GXG)
• Application: Gravity-flow sanitary sewer and stormwater systems
• Certifications: Conforms to ASTM D3034 and D3212; suitable for use in systems requiring watertight joints

Installation Considerations

This fitting is intended for underground installation in non-pressurized systems. Prior to joining, ensure that the bell and spigot ends are clean and lubricated with approved gasket lubricant. Insert the spigot end fully into the bell until seated. No solvent cement is required, which reduces installation time and risk of joint failure from improper bonding.

Where It’s Commonly Used

The G1706 WEST 22-1/2° elbow is frequently used in sewer mains, lateral connections, and stormwater drainage systems where directional flow adjustment is required but limited space precludes the use of larger sweep angles. It is especially useful in subdivision infrastructure, site development, and utility trenching.

Did You Know?

SDR35 pipe and fittings offer a balance between wall thickness and flexibility, making them a preferred choice for underground sewer applications where ground shifts and soil loading are factors.

The G1706 WEST SDR35 22-1/2° GXG elbow combines field-proven materials and joint performance to deliver dependable results on job sites requiring precision and durability. Whether used in new installations or retrofits, it provides a solid solution for directional control in gravity-flow piping systems.
