Typical Applications

The 3" Schedule 40 PVC 45-Degree Elbow is well-suited for systems that require a gentle redirection of flow while maintaining consistent pressure and low turbulence.

• Commonly used in irrigation systems, pool and spa plumbing, residential water distribution, and drainage systems.
• Helps reduce hydraulic shock and friction loss compared to 90° fittings.
• Resistant to corrosion, rust, and most acids, alkalis, salts, and chemical agents.
• Suitable for both above-ground and below-ground installations.
• Not recommended for compressed air or gas systems.

The 45-degree angle offers an optimal balance between direction control and flow efficiency, extending the lifespan of connected components.

Installation & Handling Tips

Installing a Schedule 40 PVC 45-degree elbow requires proper preparation and adherence to ASTM standards to ensure a leak-free seal and long-term performance.

• Prepare the Surfaces: Clean and dry both pipe ends and fitting sockets thoroughly.
• Prime and Cement: Apply primer and solvent cement meeting ASTM D2564 for a secure chemical bond.
• Join Properly: Insert the pipe fully into the socket, then hold firmly for several seconds to allow initial set.
• Curing Time: Allow at least 15 minutes before handling and 2 hours for full cure before pressurization.
• Avoid Overstress: Do not twist or over-pressurize during assembly.
• Environmental Care: Store fittings in a shaded area to prevent UV degradation and discoloration.
• Efficiency Tip: Use a single 45° elbow instead of two 22.5° fittings to minimize joint count and reduce potential leak points.
• Thermal Expansion: Account for temperature fluctuations in long runs to prevent joint stress or misalignment.

Following these best practices helps your PVC pipe installation remain strong, efficient, and compliant with local plumbing codes.
