Elbow, 45 Degree, Slip x Slip PVC Schedule 40 3/4" (417-007)

This 3/4" Schedule 40 PVC 45 Degree Elbow (Slip x Slip) provides a gentle half-right-angle direction change in all-socket PVC piping systems, accepting 3/4" PVC pipe at both socket ends for permanent solvent-cement bonds while redirecting the pipe run at a 45-degree offset rather than a full 90-degree corner. Constructed in white Schedule 40 PVC, it offers reliable performance in irrigation, commercial plumbing, fire suppression, and light industrial applications where a moderate direction change is required along a 3/4" all-socket pipe run — avoiding obstructions, navigating grade changes, providing a more gradual routing transition, or reducing turbulence and pressure loss at the direction change point compared to a full 90-degree right-angle elbow.

Both 3/4" slip socket ends accept 3/4" PVC pipe for permanent solvent-cement bonds, redirecting the pipe run 45 degrees between the inlet and outlet socket axes while preserving the full 3/4" 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 of less than 90 degrees, or where two 45-degree elbows in sequence provide a gentler S-bend or offset than a pair of 90-degree elbows would; it is distinct from the 90-degree slip elbow (406 series, 3/4") at a full right-angle turn, from the 22-1/2 degree slip elbow (465 series, 3/4" if stocked) at a very shallow correction, and from the 23 series street elbow (423 series, 45-degree Spigot x Slip) which provides a hub-direct 45-degree turn without an intermediate pipe section at the upstream end. At 3/4", this elbow is the highest-demand entry in the 417 series — appearing throughout residential and light commercial landscape irrigation mainline routing assemblies where pipe runs must navigate around foundation corners, planting beds, paved surfaces, and grade transitions at the dominant lateral distribution diameter; in residential irrigation systems where two 45-degree elbows create a compact offset run around an obstruction more smoothly than right-angle elbows at the same lateral diameter; and in commercial plumbing and light industrial socket distribution assemblies where a moderate direction change minimizes flow disruption along the 3/4" distribution run.

Rated to approximately 480 psi at 73°F, this elbow is suited for standard commercial and light industrial pressure service. Its PVC composition provides excellent resistance to corrosion, scale, chlorinated water, and a broad range of chemical exposures, making it a reliable long-term alternative to metal elbows in moisture-prone or chemically active environments. 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 across the joint surface. 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:

• Irrigation & Water Distribution — Navigates 3/4" PVC socket mainline and lateral distribution runs around foundation corners, planting beds, paved surface edges, grade transitions, and subsurface obstructions in residential and light commercial landscape irrigation systems 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 dominant residential irrigation lateral distribution diameter
• Landscape Irrigation — Creates smooth S-bend offsets and diagonal routing transitions in 3/4" 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 lateral distribution layout
• Commercial Plumbing — Redirects 3/4" socket PVC distribution mains 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 all-socket distribution run
• Fire Suppression Systems — Provides 45-degree routing offsets on 3/4" socket branch lines and lateral distribution runs in light-hazard and residential Schedule 40 PVC fire suppression systems where moderate-angle direction changes navigate structural elements, ceiling penetrations, and routing constraints more efficiently than 90-degree elbows at the 3/4" dominant branch and lateral diameter
• Industrial Process Piping — Navigates 3/4" socket process water distribution runs, instrument supply lines, and small-bore service pipe routing around equipment layouts, structural members, and installation constraints in water treatment, chemical processing, and manufacturing facilities where a 45-degree turn minimizes turbulence and pressure loss at the direction change point compared to a 90-degree elbow along the all-socket 3/4" assembly
• Water Treatment & Aquaculture — Used at moderate-angle routing transition points on 3/4" socket distribution headers, filter approach lines, and recirculating system 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 assembly
