Description
ABS DWV 90 Elbow Short-Turn (HUB x HUB)
ABS DWV 90 Short-Turn Elbows provide a compact 90-degree directional change for non-pressure drain, waste, and vent piping systems where installation space is limited.
Featuring hub connections on both ends, this short-turn elbow is designed to connect compatible ABS DWV pipe while changing the direction of the piping run by 90 degrees within a compact footprint. Its tighter-radius configuration can be useful in space-restricted installations where a longer sweep fitting may not fit. Manufactured for ABS DWV service, it meets recognized standards including ASTM D2661, CSA B181.1, and NSF Standard 14.

Connection Configuration
Inlet Hub
One hub connection accepts compatible ABS DWV pipe for solvent-cement installation.
Outlet Hub
The second hub redirects the piping run by 90 degrees and accepts compatible ABS DWV pipe.
Short-Turn Elbow Design
The short-turn configuration provides a tighter 90-degree bend than a long-sweep elbow, allowing the fitting to occupy less space.
This compact geometry can be useful where available installation clearance is limited and the piping layout permits a short-turn fitting.
Because short-turn and long-sweep elbows serve different drainage-layout purposes, verify that this fitting style is appropriate for the intended installation and applicable plumbing requirements.

Installation
Verify both nominal hub sizes before installation and confirm that a short-turn 90-degree elbow is appropriate for the intended DWV piping location.
Cut all mating ABS pipe ends square and remove burrs. Clean and prepare the pipe and hub surfaces according to accepted ABS solvent-cement installation procedures.
Dry-fit the elbow and adjoining pipe before applying solvent cement to confirm orientation, alignment, and available clearance.
Apply compatible ABS solvent cement as required and fully seat each pipe into its corresponding hub while maintaining the intended 90-degree alignment.
Allow completed joints to cure according to the solvent cement manufacturer's recommendations before placing the drainage system into service.
Our piping specialists can help review your pipe size, directional change, available installation space, and ABS DWV compatibility before you order.

What is an ABS DWV 90 short-turn elbow used for?
It is used to create a compact 90-degree change of direction in an ABS drain, waste, or vent piping system where the installation permits a short-radius fitting.
What does HUB x HUB mean?
It means both ends are hub-style connections designed to accept compatible ABS DWV pipe.
What makes this elbow short-turn?
The fitting uses a tighter bend radius than a long-sweep elbow, allowing it to make a 90-degree turn within a smaller footprint.
How is this different from a 90 long-sweep elbow?
A short-turn elbow makes the directional change within a more compact radius, while a long-sweep elbow uses a broader curve for a more gradual flow transition.
Can this fitting be used anywhere a 90-degree turn is needed?
Not necessarily. Short-turn fittings may be appropriate only in certain DWV locations. Verify the intended application against manufacturer guidance and applicable plumbing requirements.
Does this fitting require solvent cement?
Yes. Both hub connections are intended for compatible ABS solvent-cement installation.
Is this fitting intended for pressure systems?
No. This fitting is intended for non-pressure drain, waste, and vent applications.
Can it be used for compressed air or gas?
No. The supplied product information states that ABS DWV fittings are not intended for transporting compressed air or gas.
Can this fitting be used for pressure testing?
No. The supplied product information states that ABS DWV fittings should not be used for pressure testing.
What is the maximum operating temperature?
The supplied product information specifies applications where operating temperatures do not exceed 140°F.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm both hub sizes, the required 90-degree direction change, available installation space, and whether a short-turn configuration is appropriate for the intended ABS DWV application.
