Westlake Pipe Fittings p1706 6 Inch Sdr 35 Pvc 22.5 Deg Elbow

Product Description

The WESTLAKE PIPE FITTINGS p1706 is a 6-inch SDR 35 PVC solvent weld 22.5-degree elbow (1/16 bend) designed for gravity-flow drainage and sewer piping systems. This fitting provides a gradual 22.5-degree change of direction, making it suitable for long-run drain and sewer installations where sharp directional changes must be avoided. Fabricated from PVC to SDR 35 standards, it is engineered for low-pressure, non-pressurized applications. The solvent weld connection ensures a permanent, leak-resistant joint when paired with the correct PVC primer and cement. At 1.80 pounds, it is manageable for single-person installation in trench work.

This elbow is used in residential and commercial underground sewer and drainage piping installations. It is commonly installed in main sewer lines, storm drain laterals, and gravity sanitary sewer systems where a 22.5-degree directional offset is required. The SDR 35 classification indicates a standard dimension ratio appropriate for buried, non-pressure sewer applications. Licensed plumbers and sewer contractors typically specify this fitting when laying PVC gravity sewer lines in accordance with applicable plumbing and building codes.

Key Features

• 22.5-degree (1/16 bend) sweep for gradual directional change in gravity sewer runs
• SDR 35 PVC construction rated for buried, non-pressure sewer and drainage service
• Solvent weld connection type for a permanent, watertight joint
• 6-inch fitting size suits main sewer and large-diameter lateral applications
• Lightweight at 1.80 pounds for efficient handling during trench installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 6-inch SDR 35 PVC gravity sewer and drainage piping systems using solvent weld joints.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or sewer contractors following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off flow and isolate the line before cutting into an existing system. Use a PVC primer and solvent cement rated for SDR 35 pipe and fittings; follow manufacturer cure time guidelines before allowing flow. Ensure proper bedding and backfill around the fitting when installed in a trench to prevent point loading on the joint.
