Plumb Shop Div Brasscraft 480-178 Plastic Drain Bend

Product Description

The PLUMB SHOP DIV BRASSCRAFT 480-178 is a white plastic drain bend designed for slip-joint connections on lavatory and kitchen sink drain assemblies. It accepts 1-1/4 inch or 1-1/2 inch OD tubing, making it a versatile fit across a range of standard drain configurations. The bend comes bagged and includes the necessary nuts and washers for a complete slip-joint assembly. Plumbers and drain service technicians install this component as part of P-trap or drain arm configurations beneath sinks. Its lightweight plastic construction resists corrosion and is compatible with typical PVC and ABS drain systems found in residential applications.

This drain bend is suited for residential lavatory and kitchen sink installations where a slip-joint drain configuration is required. It fits standard 1-1/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch OD drain tubing, covering the two most common sizes used in household sink rough-in work. The included nuts and washers allow for tool-light assembly and straightforward field replacement without sourcing additional hardware. Typical install scenarios include new construction drain rough-ins, fixture replacements, and repair service calls where the existing bend has cracked, warped, or failed at the slip joint.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified drain service technicians working on residential sink drain assemblies. Shut off water supply and clear standing water from the drain before beginning work. Hand-tighten slip-joint nuts first to confirm alignment, then snug with channel-lock pliers — avoid over-torquing plastic nuts. All drain work should conform to applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC).
