45 Degree Elbow, Slip x Slip PVC Schedule 40 6" (417-060)

The 6" PVC Schedule 40 45 Degree Elbow (Slip x Slip) delivers a smooth, 45-degree change in pipe direction for large-diameter Schedule 40 PVC systems. Both socket ends accept 6" PVC pipe via solvent weld, creating a leak-free, permanent connection suited for gravity-flow drainage, low-pressure distribution, and commercial plumbing applications where a gradual directional transition is preferable to a sharp 90-degree turn.

The 45-degree angle reduces turbulence and flow resistance compared to a standard 90-degree elbow, making it a preferred choice for runs where hydraulic efficiency and sustained flow velocity matter — particularly in large-diameter gravity drain and sewer lines. Manufactured to ASTM D2466 standards and listed under NSF/ANSI 14, this fitting is molded from white Schedule 40 PVC and rated for use across a wide range of non-pressure and low-pressure piping applications.

At 6", this is a large-format fitting more commonly found in municipal, civil, and commercial infrastructure than in typical residential plumbing. Proper solvent cement and primer selection for large-diameter PVC connections is important; always follow manufacturer application guidelines and allow adequate cure time before pressurizing or placing the system in service.

Industries & Applications:

• Municipal Sewer & Drainage — Widely used in gravity sewer mains, stormwater collection systems, and municipal drainage infrastructure requiring smooth directional transitions in large-diameter runs
• Commercial Plumbing — Applied in building drain and waste systems, underground sanitary sewer lines, and large-format DWV (Drain-Waste-Vent) configurations in commercial construction
• Civil & Site Construction — Used by site contractors for underground utility runs, detention pond outlets, culvert connections, and stormwater conveyance systems
• Industrial Process & Drainage — Suited for plant floor drainage, process condensate lines, and non-aggressive liquid conveyance where a gradual directional change reduces wear and flow restriction
• Irrigation & Water Management — Applied in large-scale agricultural and landscape irrigation mainlines, retention pond inlets, and pump discharge runs where 45-degree offsets are required
• Water & Wastewater Treatment — Used in plant process piping, effluent distribution, and gravity-fed treatment system infrastructure
