Description
Schedule 80 PVC 22.5-Degree Elbow (SOC x SOC)
Schedule 80 PVC 22.5-Degree Elbow (SOC x SOC) provides a 22.5-degree change in direction between compatible Schedule 80 PVC pipe sections. The socket connections receive appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe at both ends while the elbow establishes the required directional transition.
The 22.5-degree elbow configuration provides a gradual directional change using socket connections on both ends. Selection should account for nominal size, Schedule 80 PVC compatibility, required 22.5-degree routing change, adjoining PVC pipe, socket joining requirements, fitting orientation, piping alignment, support, and available installation clearance.

22.5-Degree Elbow Design
The 22.5-degree elbow configuration redirects compatible PVC piping through a gradual directional transition. Socket connections on both ends allow appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe sections to connect directly to the fitting.
The intended elbow orientation should be established before permanent joining so the adjoining pipe follows the required routing. Planning the fitting position in advance helps coordinate pipe lengths, nearby fittings, piping supports, and available working clearance.
Socket Connections
The socket connections receive appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe at both ends of the elbow. This SOC x SOC arrangement provides a consistent connection style while the fitting establishes the required 22.5-degree directional transition.
The mating surfaces should be prepared using the appropriate PVC solvent-cement joining procedure for the installation. Compatible joining materials, proper insertion, correct alignment, and planned elbow orientation help establish the connections without placing unnecessary stress on the fitting.
Schedule 80 PVC Integration
The Schedule 80 PVC construction allows the elbow to integrate into compatible Schedule 80 PVC piping arrangements requiring a 22.5-degree directional transition. Matching the nominal size and socket connections to the adjoining PVC pipe helps maintain the intended piping configuration.
Application suitability should be evaluated using the requirements of the complete piping system rather than the schedule designation alone. Intended service conditions, adjoining materials, connection compatibility, joining materials, installation environment, piping support, and applicable practices should all be considered during fitting selection.
22.5-Degree Piping Transition
A Schedule 80 PVC 22.5-Degree Elbow provides a direct directional transition where compatible PVC piping must change routing by 22.5 degrees. The SOC x SOC configuration allows compatible pipe to connect at both ends while the fitting establishes the required angle.
Installation planning should consider socket insertion, elbow orientation, adjoining pipe alignment, nearby fittings, available clearance, and piping support. Connected pipe should align naturally with the elbow so the fitting is not relied upon to correct offsets or support improperly positioned piping.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify the required 22.5° change.
- Check Schedule 80 PVC compatibility.
- Confirm both required socket connections.
- Match the elbow orientation to the piping layout.

Our PVC fitting specialists can help review your nominal size, Schedule 80 requirements, SOC x SOC configuration, required 22.5° direction change, adjoining PVC pipe, joining requirements, elbow orientation, piping layout, support requirements, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 PVC 22.5-Degree Elbow used for?
It changes the direction of compatible Schedule 80 PVC piping by 22.5 degrees while maintaining socket connections at both ends.
What does SOC mean?
SOC identifies a socket-style connection designed to receive appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe.
How much does this elbow change the piping direction?
The elbow redirects the compatible piping arrangement through a 22.5-degree change in direction.
What connects to the socket openings?
Both socket openings receive appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe for the applicable solvent-cement joining procedure.
Do both ends use the same connection type?
Yes. The specified SOC x SOC configuration uses socket-style connections on both ends of the elbow.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the nominal size, Schedule 80 PVC compatibility, SOC x SOC connection arrangement, and required 22.5-degree piping transition.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Inspect both sockets before use.
- Confirm the nominal connection size.
- Prepare each pipe end correctly.
- Set the elbow orientation before cementing.
- Use compatible PVC joining materials throughout.
