PVC-U 45 Degree elbow for pipe fitting water supply

A PVC 45-degree elbow is a type of fitting used in plumbing and piping systems made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material. It allows for a change in direction of the pipe at a 45-degree angle. This fitting is commonly used in various applications, including drainage, irrigation, and venting systems.

Key Features:
Material**: Made from durable PVC, which is resistant to corrosion and chemicals.

Angle**: Designed to create a 45-degree angle in piping systems.
Sizes**: Available in various diameters to fit different pipe sizes.
Connections**: Typically has socket ends for solvent welding to the corresponding PVC pipes.

Applications:
Drainage Systems**: To redirect water flow.
Irrigation**: To adjust the direction of water delivery.
Ventilation**: In HVAC systems to change airflow direction.

Installation:
Requires PVC cement for secure connections.
Should be installed according to local plumbing codes and regulations.

Using a PVC 45-degree elbow can help create efficient and effective piping layouts while minimizing flow restrictions.

The term “PVC-U 45-degree elbow” refers to a fitting that allows for a 45-degree change in direction in a piping system made from unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U).

On the other hand, a “PVC-U 135-degree elbow” would refer to a fitting that allows for a 135-degree change in direction.

Angle: The primary difference is the angle of change in direction—45 degrees versus 135 degrees.

Applications: The 135-degree elbow is typically used in situations where a more significant change in direction is needed, while the 45-degree elbow is used for more gradual turns.

PVC-U 45-degree elbow: Changes direction by 45 degrees.

PVC-U 135-degree elbow: Changes direction by 135 degrees.

Both fittings serve specific purposes in piping systems, and the choice between them depends on the requirements of the installation.
