Westlake Pipe Fittings L1938 SDR-35 Pvc Elbow 8 in

Product Description

The WESTLAKE PIPE FITTINGS L1938 is a gasketed SDR-35 PVC 11-1/4 degree elbow sized for 8-inch pipe. This fitting provides a shallow directional change in gravity-flow drainage systems, making it a standard choice wherever a slight grade correction or gentle offset is needed without the flow restriction of a steeper bend. The SDR-35 wall rating confirms compatibility with the most common specification for sewer and drain piping in residential and light commercial construction. The push-on gasketed joint allows for fast, solvent-free assembly in the field. Plumbers and pipe crew working on underground sewer laterals will find this fitting sized and rated for typical municipal and private drain applications.

This elbow is used in underground gravity-sewer and storm-drain installations where an 11-1/4 degree change in direction is required. The gasketed bell-and-spigot design suits situations where thermal expansion allowance or quick field assembly is preferred over solvent-welded joints. Typical applications include building sewer laterals, site drainage mains, and subdivision collection systems operating under gravity flow at standard burial depths.

Key Features

• 11-1/4 degree deflection angle for shallow directional changes in gravity-drain runs
• SDR-35 wall thickness rating — meets standard sewer and drain service requirements
• Gasketed push-on joint for solvent-free, expansion-tolerant field assembly
• 8-inch nominal pipe size suits main sewer laterals and larger drain mains
• PVC construction resists corrosion and chemical attack in buried service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 8-inch SDR-35 gasketed PVC sewer and drain piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of this fitting is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipe-laying crews working in conformance with the International Plumbing Code and applicable local sewer authority standards. Excavate and bed the trench to the required depth and bedding material before assembling the joint. Lubricate the gasket with an approved pipe lubricant and verify the spigot is fully seated before backfilling. Never use petroleum-based lubricants or solvents on the gasket, as these can degrade the seal.
