Tigre Usa Inc 36-255 3 Inch 90 Degree Sanitary Elbow

Product Description

The TIGRE USA INC 36-255 is a 3-inch, 90-degree long turn sanitary elbow designed for drain, waste, and vent (DWV) piping systems. This hub-by-hub plastic pipe fitting redirects flow direction by a full quarter turn while maintaining smooth interior flow paths that reduce the risk of buildup and blockage. It is sometimes called a quarter bend. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting during rough-in and service work on residential and light commercial drainage systems. The long-turn radius is a key design element, promoting better drainage flow compared to a standard short-turn elbow.

This fitting is used wherever a 90-degree change of direction is needed in a gravity-flow DWV system. Typical applications include drain lines beneath sinks, tub and shower drains, toilet rough-ins, and horizontal-to-vertical transitions in waste stacks. The hub-by-hub connection style accepts standard 3-inch pipe into both ends, making it compatible with solvent-welded PVC and ABS DWV installations common in residential new construction and remodel work.

Key Features

• 3-inch hub-by-hub connections for straightforward solvent-weld installation
• Long turn radius promotes consistent gravity flow and reduces clogging risk
• 90-degree sweep direction change, also known as a quarter bend
• Plastic construction resists corrosion and scale buildup in drain service
• Sold in packages of 10 units, suited for contractors stocking multiple fittings per job

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-construction fitting for 3-inch DWV piping systems using solvent-weld hub connections in residential and light commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Before beginning, shut off the water supply and ensure the drain line is empty and unpressurized. Use approved PVC or ABS solvent cement and primer as required by code for the pipe material being joined. Do not apply excessive cement or force misaligned pipe into the hub, as this can compromise the joint seal.
