Westlake Pipe Fittings g17012 Pvc Sewer Elbow 22.5 Deg 12 in Sdr 35

Product Description

The WESTLAKE PIPE FITTINGS g17012 is a 12-inch SDR 35 PVC sewer elbow rated at 22.5 degrees, designed for gravity-flow sewer and drainage applications. This fitting uses a gasketed (push-on) connection, which creates a watertight seal without solvent cement. Manufactured from PVC to SDR 35 dimensional standards, it delivers the wall thickness and ring stiffness required for below-grade sewer installations. The fitting weighs 19.70 pounds and is sized for 12-inch pipe. Licensed plumbers and underground utility contractors typically install this component in municipal, commercial, and residential sewer mains.

The g17012 is used where a shallow directional change is needed in a gravity sewer line. The 22.5-degree bend angle allows for minor horizontal deflections in below-grade piping runs without creating excessive flow resistance. SDR 35 PVC sewer fittings of this type are commonly installed in new construction sewer mains, sewer lateral replacements, and trenchless-adjacent open-cut sewer work. The gasketed bell end accommodates standard SDR 35 pipe spigots, making field assembly straightforward in trench conditions.

Key Features

• 22.5-degree elbow angle provides a shallow, low-resistance directional change in gravity sewer runs
• Gasketed push-on connection eliminates solvent cement and speeds up below-grade assembly
• SDR 35 PVC construction meets standard wall-thickness requirements for sewer service
• 12-inch fitting size suits main-line sewer and large-diameter lateral installations
• PVC material resists corrosion and biological degradation in sanitary sewer environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 12-inch SDR 35 PVC sewer piping systems using gasketed push-on connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or underground utility contractors following applicable plumbing and sewer codes such as the IPC or local municipal sewer specifications. Confirm that the receiving pipe spigot is clean, properly lubricated, and free of burrs before pushing into the gasket seat. Do not exceed the rated angular deflection of the joint, and ensure adequate bedding and backfill compaction per project specifications to prevent differential settlement at the fitting. Inspect the gasket for proper seating before backfilling.
