Multi Fittings 78552 Pvc Conduit Elbow 45 Degree 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The MULTI FITTINGS 78552 is a 45-degree standard-radius PVC conduit elbow designed for use in non-metallic electrical conduit systems. Built for 1/2-inch trade-size conduit, it features a plain connection end and a 4-inch bend radius, making it suitable for smooth directional changes in conduit runs. At 6 inches in length with a 1-1/2-inch thread length, this elbow is joined using solvent-weld methods standard to PVC conduit work. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this fitting during rough-in and conduit layout stages on both residential and commercial projects.

This elbow is used wherever a 45-degree directional change is needed in a 1/2-inch non-metallic PVC conduit system. Common applications include branch circuit conduit runs, service entrance routing, and general electrical rough-in work in residential and light commercial construction. Its plain connection end accepts solvent-weld adhesive compatible with non-metallic PVC conduit fittings, keeping the installation process straightforward and consistent with standard conduit assembly practice.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle for precise directional changes in conduit runs
• 1/2-inch trade size fits standard half-inch PVC conduit
• 4-inch bend radius reduces pull tension on conductors during wire pulls
• Plain connection end uses solvent-weld joining — no threads required at the conduit joint
• PVC construction resists moisture and corrosion in exposed or embedded installations
• Compatible with non-metallic solvent-weld fittings for consistent system assembly

Compatibility

Designed for use with non-metallic solvent-weld fittings in 1/2-inch trade-size PVC conduit systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians in accordance with NEC requirements for non-metallic conduit systems. De-energize all circuits in the work area before beginning conduit assembly. Apply appropriate PVC conduit cement evenly to both the fitting socket and conduit end before joining, and allow adequate cure time before pulling wire. Do not use this fitting with metallic conduit systems or connection methods other than solvent welding.
