Elbow 22-1/2 Degree Schedule 40 PVC 10" (416-100)
The 416-100 (also listed as 416-100F) is a 10-inch Schedule 40 PVC 22.5-degree elbow engineered for large-diameter piping systems that require a subtle directional change without sacrificing flow efficiency. The 22.5° offset is the go-to solution when a 45° or 90° turn would be too aggressive — allowing installers to navigate around structural obstacles, shift pipe runs along a gradual arc, or align mainlines with precision on complex job sites.
Fabricated from rigid white PVC (Type I, Cell Class 12454), this fitting delivers excellent resistance to corrosion, chemical degradation, and biological growth — making it a dependable long-term choice in both pressure systems and gravity-fed drainage applications. The socket (slip) x socket (slip) ends create a permanent, leak-proof joint when bonded with standard PVC solvent cement, and the smooth interior bore minimizes friction loss and resists debris accumulation to keep systems running at peak capacity.
At this diameter, the 416-100 is typically fabricated rather than injection-molded, ensuring consistent wall thickness and structural integrity across the full fitting body.

Industries & Applications
The 416-100 is a critical component wherever large-diameter PVC piping must change direction with minimal pressure loss:
- Municipal Water & Sewer — Reliable performance in pressurized distribution mains, force mains, and underground storm drainage infrastructure built for decades of service.
- Industrial Process Piping — Handles corrosive chemicals and process fluids that would rapidly degrade carbon steel or ductile iron alternatives.
- Aquaculture & Water Parks — NSF 61 certification makes it safe for potable water contact, recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), and high-volume filtration loops.
- Agricultural & Golf Course Irrigation — Manages directional transitions in large mainlines across sprawling layouts where terrain changes demand precise pipe routing.
- Commercial HVAC & Roof Drainage — Suitable for chilled water systems, condensate lines, and large-building interior drain headers.
