Tigre Usa Inc 36-502 3 Inch 45 Degree Hub X Hub Elbow

Product Description

The TIGRE USA INC 36-502 is a 3-inch, 45-degree PVC elbow fitting with a hub-by-hub (HxH) socket configuration, used to redirect flow in drainage, waste, and vent (DWV) piping systems. Sometimes called an eighth bend, this fitting allows a controlled directional change within a run of pipe without sharp transitions. It is a standard component in residential and light commercial plumbing rough-in work. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during new construction and remodel projects where drain lines must navigate around structural elements or transition to new routing paths.

This elbow is suited for use in DWV applications where a gradual 45-degree change of direction is required. Typical installations include drain line offsets beneath floors, inside walls, or in crawl spaces and basements. The hub-by-hub socket ends accept standard 3-inch PVC pipe for solvent-welded connections. It is sold in a package quantity of 10 units, making it practical for jobs requiring multiple fittings of the same type.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle provides a smooth directional change, reducing flow restriction compared to a 90-degree elbow
• Hub x Hub (socket x socket) ends accept standard 3-inch PVC pipe for solvent-cement joining
• Commonly referenced as an eighth bend in DWV piping layouts
• Packaged in quantities of 10 units per pack for multi-fitting job requirements
• Lightweight construction at approximately 2.5 pounds per pack of 10

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for 3-inch PVC DWV piping systems in residential and light commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers working on DWV systems in accordance with the International Plumbing Code (IPC) and applicable local codes. Shut off water supply and ensure the drain line is clear and dry before beginning work. Solvent-cement both the pipe end and the fitting hub per the adhesive manufacturer's instructions, and allow proper cure time before pressurizing or returning the line to service. Do not use this fitting in pressure piping applications unless the fitting is specifically rated for that service.
