Value Collection BD-16646 Cpvc 45 Degree Elbow 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-16646 is a 45-degree elbow fitting manufactured from CPVC (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride) thermoplastic. It accepts 1-1/2-inch pipe on both ends via slip connections, making it suitable for solvent-cement joining in hot and cold water distribution systems. CPVC resists corrosion, scale buildup, and chlorine degradation, which gives it an advantage over metal fittings in aggressive water conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this elbow when routing pipe at a 45-degree change of direction within a pressurized supply line or hydronic distribution loop.

This fitting is designed for use in residential and light commercial plumbing systems where CPVC pipe is the specified material. Common applications include domestic hot and cold water supply lines, hydronic heating distribution, and industrial process piping that falls within CPVC pressure and temperature ratings. The slip-by-slip end configuration requires solvent cement and primer applied to both the pipe end and the fitting socket before assembly.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for gradual directional changes in pipe runs
• 1-1/2-inch fitting size accommodates standard Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 CPVC pipe
• Slip x Slip end connections joined with solvent cement for a leak-free bond
• CPVC construction provides corrosion resistance and compatibility with chlorinated water supplies
• Lightweight design simplifies handling during installation in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for residential and light commercial CPVC plumbing systems using 1-1/2-inch pipe with slip-style end connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber following local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before cutting into any existing line. Clean and deburr pipe ends, apply approved CPVC primer to both the pipe and socket, then apply solvent cement and assemble with a quarter-turn twist; hold firmly for the manufacturer-recommended cure time before restoring flow. Do not apply heat or flame to CPVC fittings during joining.
