Elbow, 45 Degree, Slip x Slip PVC Schedule 40 1/2" (417-005)

This 1/2" Schedule 40 PVC 45 Degree Elbow (Slip x Slip) provides a gentle half-right-angle direction change in all-socket PVC piping systems, accepting 1/2" PVC pipe at both socket ends for permanent solvent-cement bonds while redirecting the pipe run at a 45-degree offset. Constructed in white Schedule 40 PVC, it is the smallest confirmed entry in the 417 series and the highest-pressure rated — carrying approximately 600 psi at 73°F — making it well-suited for the drip irrigation lateral routing, instrument supply line direction changes, and compact chemical injection line offset applications that dominate at this standard small-bore service diameter. It offers reliable performance wherever a moderate direction change is required along a 1/2" all-socket pipe run — navigating obstructions, making diagonal routing transitions, providing gradual offsets between parallel pipe runs, and reducing turbulence and pressure loss at the direction change point compared to a full 90-degree right-angle elbow.

Both 1/2" slip socket ends accept 1/2" PVC pipe for permanent solvent-cement bonds, redirecting the pipe run 45 degrees between the inlet and outlet socket axes while preserving the full 1/2" interior diameter throughout the elbow body. The 45-degree turn angle is the standard moderate-offset elbow in the Schedule 40 PVC catalog — used wherever the pipe routing geometry requires a direction change less than 90 degrees, or where two 45-degree elbows in sequence produce a gentler S-bend or parallel offset run than a pair of 90-degree elbows at the same lateral diameter. It is distinct from the 90-degree slip elbow (406 series, 1/2" if stocked) at a full right-angle turn; from the 22-1/2 degree slip elbow (465 series, 1/2" if stocked) at a shallow correction turn; and from the street elbow (423 series, 45-degree Spigot x Slip, if stocked), which provides a hub-direct 45-degree turn without an intermediate pipe section at the upstream end. The 417-005 (1/2") is the direct smaller-diameter parallel to the confirmed 417-007 (3/4") documented in this catalog session — together covering the two highest-demand all-socket lateral and service distribution diameters for 45-degree routing transitions in residential and light commercial drip and micro-irrigation systems, instrument supply assemblies, and small-bore process water distribution layouts. At 1/2", the 45-degree elbow most commonly appears in drip and micro-irrigation lateral routing assemblies where the 1/2" supply run must navigate around planting features, hardscape boundaries, and grade transitions at a more gradual angle than a 90-degree corner; in instrument and chemical feed line layouts where a diagonal routing approach or gradual offset minimizes turbulence at the small-bore direction change point; and in residential and light commercial irrigation assemblies where paired 45-degree elbows create compact S-bend offsets along 1/2" drip lateral supply runs.

Rated to approximately 600 psi at 73°F — the highest confirmed pressure rating in the 417 series — this elbow is suited for standard commercial and light industrial pressure service. NSF/ANSI 61 listing confirms suitability for potable water contact.

Apply solvent cement to both the pipe end and fitting socket at each port per ASTM D2564 procedures, using a primer appropriate for the pipe and fitting schedule. Insert pipe fully into each socket and maintain a quarter-turn during assembly for even cement distribution. Plan the outlet direction of the elbow before cementing the first joint — the downstream pipe run alignment is established when the inlet joint is cemented and cannot be adjusted after cure. Allow adequate cure time before pressurizing the system, and derate pressure ratings for elevated temperatures per published derating curves.

Industries & Applications:

• Drip & Micro-Irrigation Systems — Navigates 1/2" PVC socket lateral supply runs around planting beds, hardscape boundaries, ground cover features, and grade transitions in residential and light commercial drip and micro-irrigation distribution assemblies where a 45-degree direction change provides a more gradual routing offset than a 90-degree elbow — the highest-demand 45-degree turn application at the standard 1/2" drip lateral and micro-irrigation distribution diameter
• Irrigation & Water Distribution — Creates smooth S-bend offsets and diagonal routing transitions in 1/2" all-socket irrigation lateral assemblies where two 45-degree elbows in sequence produce a compact parallel offset run around landscape features, utility conflicts, and hardscape boundaries without the sharp corner projection of paired 90-degree elbows throughout the 1/2" lateral distribution layout
• Instrument & Process Piping — Provides 45-degree routing offsets and diagonal approach transitions on 1/2" socket instrument supply runs, sample distribution line assemblies, and chemical feed pipe routing in manufacturing, water treatment, and laboratory facilities where gradual direction changes minimize flow turbulence and pressure loss at small-bore direction change points along all-socket instrument distribution assemblies
• Chemical Handling — Delivers a corrosion-resistant 45-degree direction change at routing transition points in 1/2" socket chemical feed distribution lines, injection system supply pipe routing, and dosing manifold lateral assemblies conveying acids, caustics, fertilizer solutions, and other fluids incompatible with metal fittings where gradual offset routing minimizes pressure drop and turbulence at direction change points in the all-socket distribution layout
• Commercial Plumbing — Redirects 1/2" socket PVC dedicated service supply runs, branch supply laterals, and fixture approach runs at moderate-angle routing transitions, diagonal wall penetration approaches, and equipment connection offsets in commercial building water distribution systems where a 45-degree turn provides a more gradual direction change than a 90-degree elbow at the direction change point along the small-bore all-socket service run
• Water Treatment & Aquaculture — Used at moderate-angle routing transition points on 1/2" socket distribution runs, chemical feed lateral assemblies, and instrument supply pipe routing where NSF/ANSI 61 compliance and a gentle 45-degree direction change are required at obstacle navigation and routing transition points throughout the all-cemented small-bore assembly
