Description
3" x 3" x 2" PVC DWV 90° Elbow w/ 2" Side Inlet (H x H x H)
3" x 3" x 2" PVC DWV 90° Elbow w/ 2" Side Inlet (H x H x H) combines a 3" 90-degree directional change with an additional 2" side inlet in one compact drainage fitting. The Hub x Hub x Hub configuration provides receiving connections for the 3" main run and the 2" branch while reducing the need for a separate branch fitting at the elbow location.
The integrated side-inlet configuration is useful where a 3" DWV line must make a right-angle turn while accepting a 2" branch at the same fitting location. Selection should account for the 3" x 3" x 2" sizing, side-inlet orientation, available clearance, branch direction, and alignment of all three adjoining PVC DWV connections.

90-Degree Elbow Configuration
The 3" main run changes direction through 90 degrees, providing a full right-angle turn within the PVC DWV piping layout. Integrating the directional change into one fitting helps establish a compact connection where the drainage route must turn within a limited installation area.
The elbow should be positioned according to the intended direction of the 3" piping before permanent assembly. Checking nearby fittings, framing, walls, and other piping helps ensure there is enough clearance for the fitting body and both main-run hub connections.
Integrated 2" Side Inlet
The 2" side inlet adds a third connection directly to the 90-degree elbow, allowing a compatible branch to enter at the same fitting location as the main directional change. This can reduce the need for additional fittings and shorten the overall branch connection assembly.
The side inlet should be oriented toward the planned 2" branch before the fitting is permanently joined. Reviewing branch direction and surrounding clearance in advance helps prevent an installation where the inlet faces away from the intended piping route.
Hub x Hub x Hub Connections
The H x H x H configuration provides receiving hubs at all three connection points. Two 3" hubs form the main elbow connections, while the additional 2" hub provides the side inlet for the compatible branch piping.
All three adjoining connections should be dry-positioned before final assembly so the main run and branch remain properly aligned. Coordinating the three connection points is especially important because rotating the elbow affects both the 90-degree turn and the direction of the side inlet.
Combined Bend & Branch Layout
Combining the 90-degree bend and 2" branch inlet within one fitting can create a more compact DWV layout than assembling the same routing change from multiple separate fittings. This is useful where the main run and branch need to meet within a concentrated section of the piping system.
The completed arrangement should be planned around the direction of all three pipes rather than the main elbow alone. Dry-layout of the surrounding components helps verify that the branch enters from the correct side while the 3" run continues through the intended right-angle turn.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the 3" x 3" x 2" size.
- Confirm the 2" branch direction.
- Check the required 90-degree turn.
- Verify all three connections are hubs.
- Allow clearance for all three connections.
Our PVC DWV fitting specialists can help review your 3" main-run connections, 2" side inlet, Hub x Hub x Hub configuration, branch orientation, 90-degree piping direction, available clearance, and surrounding drain, waste, and vent layout before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is this PVC DWV elbow?
The fitting is sized 3" x 3" x 2", with two 3" main-run connections and a 2" side inlet.
What does H x H x H mean?
H x H x H means Hub x Hub x Hub, indicating that all three connection points are receiving hub connections.
What angle does the main run make?
The two 3" main connections form a 90-degree directional change through the elbow.
What size is the side inlet?
The integrated side inlet is a 2" hub connection for compatible branch piping.
Why use an elbow with an integrated side inlet?
It combines a 90-degree main-run turn and an additional branch connection within one compact fitting.
Does the side-inlet orientation matter?
Yes. The fitting should be positioned so the 2" side inlet faces the intended branch direction before permanent joining.
Should all three connections be dry-positioned first?
Yes. Dry-positioning helps verify the 90-degree turn, branch direction, hub alignment, and available installation clearance.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the 3" x 3" x 2" size, H x H x H connections, 90-degree turn, 2" side-inlet orientation, and available clearance.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Clean adjoining pipe ends thoroughly.
- Inspect all three hubs before assembly.
- Dry-position the complete fitting layout.
- Support the main run and branch piping.
- Mark the side-inlet orientation before joining.
