Description
PVC DWV 1/8 Bend 45° Elbow (HUB x HUB)
PVC DWV 1/8 Bend 45° Elbows provide a smooth 45-degree directional change for non-pressurized drain, waste, and vent piping systems.
Featuring hub connections on both ends, this fitting accepts compatible PVC DWV pipe for permanent solvent-weld installation. The 45-degree bend provides a more gradual directional transition than a 90-degree elbow, helping support efficient drainage flow while reducing abrupt changes in direction.

Connection Configuration
First Hub
The first hub accepts compatible PVC DWV pipe for a permanent solvent-weld connection.
45° Bend
The 1/8 bend creates a smooth 45-degree directional change for routing and alignment within the DWV piping system.
Second Hub
The opposite hub accepts the outgoing section of compatible PVC DWV pipe to complete the transition.
Construction Details
The elbow is manufactured from durable PVC for corrosion resistance and dependable long-term service in compatible non-pressure drain, waste, and vent systems.
Hub connections on both ends are designed for solvent-cement joining to compatible PVC pipe, creating permanent joints when properly installed.
The 45-degree bend creates a smoother directional transition than a sharper 90-degree turn, helping maintain efficient gravity flow through the piping layout.
Why Choose a 1/8 Bend 45° Elbow?
Smooth Directional Change
- Creates a 45° turn
- Provides a gentler transition than a 90° elbow
- Useful for pipe offsets and alignment
- Helps support efficient gravity flow
- Suitable for new installations and repairs
PVC DWV Construction
- Corrosion-resistant material
- Lightweight construction
- Resistant to many common plumbing chemicals
- Designed for solvent-weld assembly
- Suitable for long-term non-pressure service
Typical Applications
Residential DWV Systems
- Drain piping
- Waste piping
- Vent piping
- Fixture drainage systems
- Pipe offsets and alignment
Commercial & Industrial DWV
- Building drainage systems
- Commercial waste piping
- Vent system routing
- Repair and retrofit work
- Compatible industrial drainage systems
Solvent-Weld Installation
Cut compatible PVC DWV pipe square and remove burrs before installation. Clean and prepare the pipe ends and fitting hubs according to accepted PVC solvent-weld procedures.
Apply compatible PVC primer and solvent cement where required, fully seat each pipe into the appropriate hub, and confirm the desired 45-degree orientation before the cement begins to set.
Allow all completed joints to cure according to the solvent-cement manufacturer's recommendations before placing the system into normal service.
Our plumbing specialists can help review your pipe size, required 45-degree offset, DWV layout, and solvent-weld installation needs before you order.

What angle is a 1/8 bend?
A 1/8 bend provides a 45-degree directional change.
What does HUB x HUB mean?
Hub x Hub means both ends of the fitting contain socket connections designed to accept compatible PVC pipe.
What is a 45° DWV elbow used for?
It is commonly used to create a moderate directional change or offset in compatible drain, waste, and vent piping.
How is the fitting installed?
Both hub connections are installed using compatible PVC solvent-weld procedures.
Is this fitting intended for pressure piping?
No. This fitting is intended for non-pressurized drain, waste, and vent systems.
What material is the fitting made from?
The elbow is manufactured from durable, corrosion-resistant PVC.
Why use a 45° elbow instead of a 90° elbow?
A 45-degree elbow creates a more gradual directional change when the piping layout does not require a full right-angle turn.
Can this fitting be used for vent piping?
Yes. It can be used in compatible DWV vent layouts where a 45-degree directional change is appropriate.
Do I need PVC primer and solvent cement?
Use compatible PVC primer and solvent cement as required by the manufacturer, solvent-cement instructions, and applicable plumbing requirements.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the nominal pipe size, Hub x Hub configuration, 45-degree bend requirement, and compatibility with the intended PVC DWV system.
