Value Collection 817-003 Pvc 45 Elbow 3/8 Inch Sch 80 Slip

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 817-003 is a 3/8 inch Schedule 80 PVC 45 degree elbow fitting with slip end connections. This fitting is used to change flow direction at a 45 degree angle in pressurized or non-pressurized plastic piping systems. Schedule 80 PVC wall thickness provides added strength compared to Schedule 40, making it suitable for applications where higher pressure ratings or mechanical durability are required. Slip end connections allow the fitting to be solvent-welded directly to compatible PVC pipe. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on industrial, commercial, or residential piping systems.

This fitting is suited for chemical handling, water distribution, irrigation, and industrial process piping where PVC material is appropriate. The 3/8 inch size fits standard 3/8 inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe. Its compact size makes it applicable in tight-space plumbing runs where a directional change is needed without a full 90 degree turn. Both residential and light commercial installations are common use cases for this fitting size and schedule rating.

Key Features

• Schedule 80 PVC construction for higher pressure and impact resistance versus Schedule 40
• 45 degree elbow geometry for moderate directional changes in pipe runs
• Slip end connections designed for solvent-cement welding to PVC pipe
• 3/8 inch fitting size for small-diameter piping applications
• Lightweight at 0.04 pounds for easy handling and installation in confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/8 inch Schedule 80 PVC piping systems using slip end solvent-weld connections.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or qualified pipefitters. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before cutting into any existing line. Solvent-cement the slip ends using a PVC-compatible primer and cement per the manufacturer instructions and applicable plumbing codes such as the IPC or local authority having jurisdiction. Avoid over-applying solvent cement, which can restrict internal bore diameter on small fittings like this 3/8 inch size.
