Charlotte Pipe Pvc 08309 1800HA Sch 80 45 Deg Sxs Elbow 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The CHARLOTTE PIPE FOUNDRY CO. PVC 08309 1800HA is a Schedule 80 PVC 45-degree elbow with slip x slip (socket) connections, sized at 1-1/2 inches. It is designed to change flow direction by 45 degrees in pressure piping systems built from Schedule 80 gray PVC. The heavier wall thickness of Schedule 80 construction gives this fitting higher pressure ratings and greater impact resistance compared to Schedule 40, making it the right choice for industrial, chemical handling, and demanding commercial plumbing applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using solvent-cement joining on both socket ends. Packaged in quantities of 10 per unit.

This elbow is used in residential and commercial pressure piping systems where a moderate direction change is needed without the flow restriction of a 90-degree fitting. Typical applications include chemical distribution lines, irrigation headers, industrial process piping, and commercial plumbing drain or vent configurations that call for Schedule 80 material. The gray color is standard for Schedule 80 PVC and aids in quick visual identification on a job site. Cross-reference universal part 817-015 when sourcing replacements or matching existing installations.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for Schedule 80 PVC pressure piping systems using 1-1/2 inch slip connections. Cross-references universal part 817-015.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC and local plumbing codes. Depressurize and drain the line completely before cutting into any existing system. Use the correct Schedule 80-rated PVC primer and solvent cement for the pipe diameter, and allow full cure time before restoring pressure. Do not use this fitting in applications involving compressed air or gas without verifying local code allowances for PVC pressure fittings.
