Mueller Streamline 5871 Pvc Dwv Long Sweep 90 Elbow 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The MUELLER STREAMLINE 5871 is a 1-1/2 inch PVC DWV long sweep 90 degree elbow designed for drain, waste, and vent piping systems. Manufactured to ASTM D2665, F1498, D331, and D1784 standards, it connects hub to hub and provides a gradual directional change that promotes smooth, unrestricted flow. The PVC construction resists chemicals and corrosion, making it well suited for both sanitary and industrial drainage applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of DWV rough-in work in residential and commercial construction.

The 5871 is used in drain, waste, and vent systems where a long-radius 90 degree turn is required. The long sweep geometry reduces turbulence and minimizes the risk of blockages compared to short-turn elbows. Typical applications include sanitary drainage, chemical-resistant piping, and industrial DWV runs. Both inlet and outlet connections are 1-1/2 inch hub ends, accepting standard Schedule 40 PVC pipe solvent-welded into the socket. It meets NSF 14 and UPC requirements for use in potable-water-adjacent plumbing systems.

Key Features

• Long sweep 90 degree geometry reduces flow restriction and minimizes blockage risk in DWV lines
• PVC material provides excellent resistance to corrosion, scale buildup, and a broad range of chemicals
• Smooth interior walls support free-flowing drainage and reduce scaling over time
• Hub x hub end connections accept 1-1/2 inch PVC pipe with standard solvent cement
• Meets NSF 14 and UPC standards for sanitary DWV service
• Manufactured to ASTM D2665, F1498, D331, and D1784 for dimensional and material consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-1/2 inch PVC DWV piping systems used in sanitary, industrial, and chemical-resistant drainage applications.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting is typically performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements. Ensure all connected piping is properly supported and that the system is depressurized and drained before making any modifications to an existing drain line. Use a compatible PVC solvent cement and primer rated for DWV service; follow manufacturer cure time guidelines before restoring flow. Do not apply open flame or mechanical force to seat the fitting.
