Westlake Pipe & Fittings 817-030 45-Degree Elbow Fitting, 3″ Slip
The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 817-030 45-Degree Elbow Fitting is a premium-quality PVC plumbing component engineered for reliability, durability, and precision performance. Designed to seamlessly join 3-inch Schedule 80 PVC pipe at a 45-degree angle, this elbow fitting offers an ideal solution for applications requiring directional changes in fluid flow while preserving system integrity. Whether you’re working on irrigation systems, industrial piping, pool plumbing, or commercial plumbing projects, the 817-030 elbow facilitates smooth transitions with minimal turbulence and maximum strength.
Crafted from high-grade PVC material, this fitting exhibits excellent resistance to corrosion, chemical degradation, and long-term wear. The robust construction ensures enduring service life even in demanding environments, where exposure to water, chemicals, or outdoor conditions can compromise lesser products. Its smooth internal passage minimizes friction and potential buildup, helping maintain efficient flow characteristics throughout your system.
The 45-degree angle of this elbow offers a strategic compromise between straight runs and sharper directional changes. Unlike a 90-degree elbow, which can generate increased pressure loss and turbulence, the 45-degree design gently redirects flow, reducing strain on pumps and piping. This makes it especially valuable in systems where energy efficiency and fluid dynamics matter, such as in high-flow or pressurized installations.
Installation is straightforward and dependable. The slip (socket) connection on both ends accepts standard 3″ Schedule 80 PVC pipe, allowing for solvent-weld assembly with PVC primer and cement. This creates a permanent, leak-resistant joint that meets or exceeds industry standards. For professionals and DIY installers alike, the slip-fit design simplifies alignment and assembly, while eliminating the need for additional hardware or mechanical couplings.
One of the standout features of the Westlake 817-030 fitting is its dimensional accuracy. Manufactured to stringent tolerances, the elbow integrates seamlessly with other PVC components, ensuring a snug and secure fit every time. This precision helps eliminate guesswork during installation and reduces the likelihood of costly rework.
Beyond its mechanical benefits, the Westlake 817-030 elbow is also designed with ease of handling in mind. The lightweight PVC construction makes it simple to transport and maneuver on-site, without the fatigue associated with heavier metal fittings. Unlike metal alternatives, PVC does not rust, pit, or scale, preserving both aesthetic and functional integrity over time.
Whether used in residential, commercial, or industrial settings, this elbow fitting is engineered to meet the demands of modern plumbing systems. It is especially suited to environments where durability and reliability cannot be compromised—such as pool circulation systems, chemical processing lines, agricultural irrigation networks, and wastewater treatment systems.
