Dura Plastic PVC4045L3 Pvc Sch 40 45 Degree Slip Elbow 3 in

Product Description

The DURA PLASTIC PVC4045L3 is a 3-inch Schedule 40 PVC 45-degree elbow fitting with slip connections on both ends. It is designed for pressure piping systems where a moderate directional change is required without the sharp turn of a 90-degree fitting. Built from rigid PVC, this elbow handles typical cold and ambient-temperature water service and is suited for potable water, irrigation, pool and spa plumbing, and general pressure piping applications. Plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using standard PVC solvent cement, making it a clean, permanent connection in both new construction and repair work.

This elbow is used in residential and light commercial plumbing, irrigation systems, pool and spa circulation piping, and general water distribution lines. The slip-by-slip socket configuration accepts 3-inch pipe on both ends and allows the installer to cut to exact length before cementing. It is well suited to above-ground and below-grade installations where a gradual directional change is needed to reduce flow restriction and pipe stress.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle provides a gentler directional change compared to a 90-degree elbow, reducing turbulence and flow restriction
• Slip-by-slip socket ends accept standard 3-inch PVC pipe for solvent-weld installation
• Schedule 40 wall thickness meets standard pressure ratings for cold and ambient-temperature water service
• Rigid PVC construction resists corrosion, scale buildup, and common chemical exposure in water systems
• Compatible with standard PVC solvent cement and primer for a permanent, leak-free joint

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for Schedule 40 PVC pressure piping systems using 3-inch nominal pipe size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Depressurize and drain the line completely before cutting into an existing system. Clean and deburr pipe ends, apply a compatible PVC primer, then coat both the pipe and socket with PVC solvent cement before joining. Allow full cure time per the cement manufacturer instructions before restoring system pressure.
