Description

Westlake Pipe & Fittings 465-040 22.5 Degree Elbow Fitting, 4″ Slip x 4″ Slip

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 465-040 22.5-Degree Elbow is a precision-engineered Schedule 40 PVC fitting designed to create a smooth, controlled change in direction within 4-inch piping systems. With both ends featuring slip connections, this elbow provides a reliable, solvent-weld installation method that ensures leak-free joints and long-lasting performance in a wide range of plumbing, irrigation, and industrial applications. The 22.5-degree bend offers a more gradual directional shift than 45- or 90-degree elbows, making it an ideal choice for projects that require thoughtful flow management, reduced turbulence, and minimal pressure loss.

Crafted from high-quality PVC, this fitting delivers excellent strength, rigidity, and resistance to corrosion. PVC is widely recognized for its ability to avoid issues that commonly affect metal components such as rust, pitting, chemical reactions, and mineral buildup. By incorporating this durable material, the 465-040 elbow ensures consistency and longevity, even in challenging environments. Its Schedule 40 construction provides dependable wall thickness and structural reliability suitable for both residential and commercial installations.

The smooth interior surface of the elbow promotes efficient water movement by reducing friction throughout the directional transition. This is especially critical in high-flow systems where unexpected restrictions can lead to pressure imbalances or long-term system stress. A gradual 22.5-degree turn helps maintain flow momentum, making this fitting particularly useful in large-diameter systems, long pipe runs, or any design where a softer directional change is necessary to prevent strain on pumps, joints, or other components.

Each slip connection on the fitting is designed for solvent cement welding, a method trusted throughout the industry for its ability to create strong, unified, and permanent joints. Once installed, the pipe and fitting essentially become one continuous piece, offering outstanding strength against vibration, shifting soils, water hammer, and other forces. This simple, dependable installation process allows contractors and installers to complete projects efficiently while maintaining professional-grade durability.

The Westlake 465-040 elbow is commonly used in water distribution systems, agricultural irrigation networks, sewage handling, aquaculture settings, industrial fluid pathways, commercial plumbing layouts, and swimming pool circulation systems. Its compatibility with standard 4-inch Schedule 40 PVC piping makes it easy to integrate into existing systems or new installations. Whether the goal is to route piping around structural obstacles, adjust a layout for proper slope, or reduce hydraulic stress, this fitting offers the flexibility and reliability needed for long-term success.
