How do I install this elbow?

Accepted Answer

Steps: 1) Cut and deburr the pipe ends cleanly. 2) Dry-fit to verify alignment. 3) Apply PVC primer to the pipe ends and the inside of the elbow. 4) Apply PVC cement and quickly insert the pipe ends fully into the elbow. 5) Hold a few seconds to allow bonding. 6) Allow the joint to cure per the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions.

Question 6

Can I use this elbow for bathroom or drainage projects like sinks or showers?

Question 7

Is this elbow suitable for potable water installations?

Accepted Answer

Tips: (1) Clean and deburr pipe ends. (2) Use fresh primer and cement designed for PVC. (3) Apply a uniform coat of cement and insert fully with a twist to spread the adhesive. (4) Hold the joint briefly to prevent push-out and let it cure according to the adhesive instructions.

Question 9

What does 'per Pcs' mean when ordering this elbow?

Accepted Answer

Per Pcs means the item is sold individually. If you need multiple elbows, you’ll add one piece at a time to your cart to reach the desired quantity.

Question 10

Where should I place the elbow in a drainage run and what spacing considerations exist?

Accepted Answer

Place elbows where the pipe path requires a directional change and space allows for proper alignment. Avoid sharp, unsupported angles and maintain appropriate slope for drainage runs to prevent buildup and ensure smooth flow.

Question 11

Question 12

What should I consider when choosing between 45-degree and 90-degree PVC elbows for a project?

Accepted Answer

Choose a 45-degree elbow when you need a gradual turn to navigate around obstacles or compress tight spaces, reducing column separation and potential blockages. Choose a 90-degree elbow for sharper direction changes where space is more open and a steeper turn is required.
