Z-flex ZF-2SVEEWCF0345 Water Heater Elbow 45 Deg 3in Ss

Product Description

The Z-FLEX ZF-2SVEEWCF0345 is a 45-degree stainless steel exhaust elbow designed for water heater venting applications. This fitting directs flue gas flow at a 45-degree angle, allowing installers to route vent pipe around obstructions or transition from vertical to angled runs within a venting system. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion from condensate and exhaust byproducts, making it suitable for the demanding environment inside water heater vent assemblies. At 3 inches in diameter, it fits standard single-wall vent pipe used on many residential and light-commercial water heater installations. This is an installer-grade component handled by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians performing water heater service or replacement.

This elbow is intended for use in water heater venting systems requiring a 45-degree directional change in a 3-inch vent pipe run. It is appropriate for residential and light-commercial settings where code-compliant venting must navigate structural elements such as joists, walls, or existing ductwork. The stainless steel material suits both natural draft and direct-vent style exhaust configurations where corrosion resistance is a priority. Installers should confirm local mechanical and fuel-gas codes for allowable elbow count and total equivalent vent length before installation.

Key Features

• 45-degree bend angle for flexible vent routing around obstructions
• 3-inch diameter matches standard water heater exhaust pipe sizing
• Stainless steel construction resists corrosion from flue condensate and exhaust gases
• Lightweight at 0.5 pounds for easy single-hand positioning during install
• Designed for water heater venting applications in residential and light-commercial systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement elbow for 3-inch single-wall water heater vent systems requiring a 45-degree fitting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or HVAC technician in accordance with local mechanical codes and the appliance manufacturer's venting instructions. Shut off the gas supply and allow the water heater to cool before disassembling any vent components. Secure all vent joints per code requirements and verify that the total number of elbows in the run does not exceed the maximum allowed equivalent vent length for the appliance. Do not use this fitting on vent systems requiring double-wall or listed Type B gas vent pipe without confirming material compatibility with the appliance listing.
