Description
Schedule 80 PVC 45 Degree Street Elbow (Spigot x Socket)
Schedule 80 PVC 45 Degree Street Elbow (Spigot x Socket) provides a 45-degree directional change within compatible Schedule 80 PVC piping while combining a spigot connection on one end with a socket connection on the other. The street-elbow configuration can simplify compact piping layouts by providing two complementary connection styles within a single directional fitting.
The Spigot x Socket configuration allows the spigot end to enter a compatible receiving socket while the opposite socket receives appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe. Selection should account for nominal size, Schedule 80 PVC compatibility, the required 45-degree direction, spigot and socket orientation, adjoining connection types, joining requirements, and available installation clearance.

45-Degree Street Elbow Configuration
The 45-degree street elbow configuration redirects compatible PVC piping through a defined angular change while combining different connection styles at the two ends. This arrangement can provide a compact transition where the piping layout requires a moderate directional change without adding a separate adapter between adjoining components.
The intended direction and connection orientation should be established during system layout so the spigot and socket ends correspond with their required mating connections. Planning these details before permanent joining helps maintain the intended piping geometry and reduces the need to reposition adjoining pipe after assembly.
Spigot x Socket Connections
The Spigot x Socket configuration provides a spigot end designed to enter a compatible receiving socket and a socket end designed to receive appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe. Combining these connection styles allows the elbow to transition directly between two complementary PVC connection arrangements while creating the required 45-degree turn.
Both mating connections should be prepared and aligned before permanent joining so the elbow remains correctly positioned throughout assembly. Proper surface preparation and compatible PVC joining materials help support consistent connections while preventing the fitting from being used to compensate for improperly positioned adjoining piping.
Schedule 80 PVC Integration
The Schedule 80 PVC construction allows the street elbow to integrate into compatible Schedule 80 PVC piping arrangements requiring a 45-degree directional transition. Matching the fitting to the proper nominal size and corresponding connection types helps maintain the intended piping arrangement throughout the completed installation.
Application suitability should be evaluated using the requirements of the complete piping system rather than the schedule designation alone. Intended service conditions, adjoining materials, joining method, connected components, piping support, and applicable installation practices should all be considered during fitting selection.
Compact Directional Transition
A Schedule 80 PVC 45 Degree Street Elbow can help create an angled transition where a spigot connection is required on one side and a socket connection is required on the other. The street-style arrangement can reduce the number of separate transition components needed within compatible PVC piping layouts.
Installation planning should consider pipe lengths, elbow orientation, nearby fittings, support locations, connection access, and the effect of the 45-degree turn on downstream piping. Adjoining connections should approach the fitting naturally so the elbow is not twisted or mechanically loaded to correct an improperly aligned piping route.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the nominal size.
- Verify the 45-degree direction.
- Check Schedule 80 PVC compatibility.
- Confirm spigot and socket orientation.
- Match both ends to the adjoining connections.
Our PVC fitting specialists can help review your nominal size, Schedule 80 requirements, spigot and socket connections, required 45-degree direction, connection orientation, adjoining PVC components, joining requirements, piping layout, and available installation clearance before you order.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Schedule 80 PVC 45 Degree Street Elbow used for?
It provides a 45-degree directional transition while combining a spigot connection on one end with a socket connection on the other.
How much does this street elbow change direction?
The elbow changes the piping direction by 45 degrees.
What does Spigot x Socket mean?
It identifies a spigot connection on one end of the fitting and a receiving socket connection on the opposite end.
What connects to the spigot end?
The spigot end is designed to enter an appropriately sized compatible receiving socket.
What connects to the socket end?
The socket end receives appropriately sized compatible PVC pipe for the applicable joining procedure.
Why use a 45-degree street elbow?
The street configuration combines complementary connection styles with a 45-degree turn, which can simplify compact PVC piping layouts.
Should the elbow orientation be established before joining?
Yes. Confirm the direction and connection orientation before permanent joining so both ends align correctly with the adjoining piping.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Confirm the nominal size, Schedule 80 PVC requirement, Spigot x Socket configuration, required 45-degree direction, connection orientation, and adjoining piping compatibility.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Inspect both ends before use.
- Prepare mating surfaces correctly.
- Use compatible PVC joining materials.
- Mark elbow position before cementing.
- Support adjoining piping after final assembly.
