Dura Plastic PVC8045L212 Sch 80 45 Deg Socket Elbow 2.5 in

Product Description

The DURA PLASTIC PVC8045L212 is a 2.5-inch Schedule 80 PVC 45-degree socket elbow designed for directional changes in pressure piping systems. Built to Schedule 80 wall thickness, it handles higher operating pressures than standard Schedule 40 fittings, making it appropriate for industrial, commercial, and demanding mechanical applications. The socket ends accept solvent-cement joining on both sides, creating a permanent, leak-resistant joint. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this fitting where a 45-degree change in flow direction is required without reducing system pressure rating.

This elbow is suited for use in water supply, chemical distribution, irrigation, and industrial process piping where Schedule 80 pressure ratings are specified. The 2.5-inch socket-by-socket configuration fits standard 2.5-inch PVC pipe and is commonly found in both above-ground and below-ground installations where gray Schedule 80 PVC fittings are required by design or code. It is also used in pool and spa mechanical rooms, industrial fluid handling systems, and commercial plumbing rough-in work.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 wall thickness for higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40
• 45-degree angle for gradual directional changes that reduce turbulence and flow restriction
• Socket-by-socket (S x S) ends accept solvent-cement joining for a permanent bond
• 2.5-inch nominal size fits standard 2.5-inch PVC pipe
• PVC construction resists corrosion, scaling, and many chemical exposures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2.5-inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using solvent-cement socket connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local jurisdiction requirements. Depressurize and drain the system fully before cutting into an existing line. Use only PVC-rated solvent cement and primer appropriate for Schedule 80 fittings, and allow full cure time before restoring system pressure. Do not apply heat or use threaded adapters directly in the socket without proper transition fittings.
