2-1/2 inch PVC Schedule 40 45 Degree Elbow Plastic x Plastic

2-1/2 inch PVC 45° Elbow – Schedule 40 DWV, Slip x Slip

The 2-1/2 inch PVC 45° Elbow is a non-metallic DWV fitting used to create a directional change in drain, waste, and vent systems. This fitting allows for a 45-degree offset between pipe runs, facilitating smoother transitions in piping layouts where a gradual bend is required to maintain proper flow characteristics.

Manufactured from rigid polyvinyl chloride (PVC) conforming to ASTM D2665, this elbow is designed for solvent-weld installation with Schedule 40 PVC pipe. It offers chemical resistance, structural reliability, and dimensional consistency for gravity-flow DWV systems in residential and commercial construction.

Key Product Features

• Connection Type: Slip x Slip (socket ends for solvent welding)
• Angle: 45 degrees for gradual directional change
• Material: PVC, conforming to ASTM D2665 and CSA B181.2 standards
• System Type: Non-pressurized DWV applications only
• Joint Integrity: Designed for use with approved primer and solvent cement for leak-free joints

Installation Guidelines

Cut and deburr pipe ends prior to assembly. Apply ASTM F656 primer and solvent cement to both the pipe and the fitting socket, then insert the pipe fully and hold in place until the joint sets. Allow adequate cure time per cement manufacturer instructions before testing or backfilling.

Application Scope

This 45° elbow is commonly used in above- and below-grade sanitary drainage systems, including branch offsets, horizontal-to-horizontal directional changes, and vent offsets. It supports vertical and horizontal configurations in both new installations and retrofit applications.

Regulatory Compliance

Certified to meet UPC and IPC plumbing code requirements for DWV systems. Approved for use in non-pressurized drain, waste, and vent piping in accordance with model code specifications.
