🔄 What Is a PVC Elbow?
A PVC elbow is a pipe fitting used to change the direction of flow in a piping system. It’s typically available in 90° and 45° angles, and connects two PVC pipes using solvent cement (adhesive) or threaded ends.
🧰 Types of PVC Elbows
- 90° Elbow: Creates a sharp right-angle turn
- 45° Elbow: Provides a smoother directional change
- Street Elbow: One end is socket, the other is spigot (fits directly into another fitting)
- Reducing Elbow: Connects pipes of different diameters
- Long Radius Elbow: Used for smoother flow and reduced pressure loss
🛠️ Installation Tips
- Clean and dry pipe ends before applying primer and solvent cement
- Insert pipe fully into the elbow socket and hold for 10–15 seconds
- Allow 24 hours for curing before pressure testing
