The Tigre USA 36-1692 3" Schedule 40 PVC 45-degree street elbow is designed for efficient directional changes in pressurized and non-pressurized piping systems. Featuring a hub (female) end and a spigot (male) end, it enables compact, solvent-welded joints in tight layouts—ideal for navigating obstructions or adjusting alignment in DWV, irrigation, or light industrial fluid transfer lines. Molded from rigid PVC resin, it meets ASTM D2466 and D1784 standards for dimensional stability, impact resistance, and long-term hydrostatic strength at 73°F. The smooth interior bore minimizes turbulence and scaling, while the Schedule 40 wall thickness ensures compatibility with standard 3" Sch 40 pipe under working pressures up to 220 psi (at 73°F, per ASTM rating).

Features

• 45-degree street elbow configuration (hub x spigot) saves space versus standard elbows in offset runs
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for use in pressure-rated and drainage applications up to code limits
• Solvent-weld joint design creates permanent, leak-free connections with proper PVC cement
• Smooth interior surface reduces flow resistance and prevents debris buildup
• Resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and electrolysis—ideal for aggressive soil or fluid environments
• Lightweight and easy to cut, deburr, and install with standard plumbing tools
• UV-stabilized for temporary outdoor exposure during construction
• Meets ASTM D2466 (plastic fittings) and D1784 (PVC compounds) performance standards
• Compatible with NSF/ANSI 14 and 61-certified systems for potable water (where locally permitted)
• Molded with clear, permanent size and specification markings for field verification

Product Application

This street elbow is used by plumbers, irrigation specialists, and facility technicians when routing 3" PVC lines through congested mechanical rooms, under slabs, or along foundation walls where space constraints demand a compact directional change. The hub-spigot design allows direct insertion into an existing pipe end while accepting another pipe into its socket—eliminating the need for an additional coupling in tight offsets. Commonly installed in residential water service lines, pool return circuits, sump pump discharges, and HVAC condensate drains, it provides reliable performance under intermittent pressure or gravity flow. Its U.S. manufacturing and adherence to ASTM standards ensure consistent quality and inspector acceptance across municipal and commercial projects—delivering durability, code compliance, and installation efficiency in one integrated fitting.
