Description

Westlake Pipe & Fittings 817015 1.5″ Schedule 80 PVC 45-Degree Slip Elbow

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 817015 1.5″ 80 PVC 45-Degree Slip Elbow is a precision-engineered piping component designed to deliver reliable directional changes in high-performance fluid handling systems where durability, chemical resistance, and dimensional accuracy are critical. Manufactured from premium Schedule 80 PVC material, this 45-degree slip elbow is built to withstand higher pressure ratings compared to Schedule 40 fittings, making it especially suitable for industrial, commercial, and demanding residential applications.

The 1.5-inch nominal size ensures compatibility with standard Schedule 80 PVC piping systems, while the slip socket connections on both ends allow for secure solvent-cement welding, creating a strong, leak-resistant joint that maintains long-term system integrity. The 45-degree angle provides a smoother change in flow direction than sharper elbows, reducing turbulence, minimizing pressure loss, and helping to extend the life of pumps, valves, and connected piping. This makes the fitting ideal for systems where maintaining efficient flow characteristics is essential, such as water treatment plants, chemical processing facilities, irrigation networks, aquaculture systems, and industrial process lines.

The dark gray color typical of Schedule 80 PVC not only distinguishes it from lower-pressure fittings but also offers improved UV resistance and a professional, industrial appearance. Westlake Pipe & Fittings is known for strict quality control and compliance with relevant industry standards, ensuring that this elbow meets dimensional tolerances and performance expectations required by engineers and installers alike. The rigid PVC construction resists corrosion, scaling, pitting, and biological growth, making it an excellent alternative to metal fittings in corrosive or moisture-rich environments

. Unlike metal elbows, this PVC fitting will not rust or degrade due to exposure to many acids, bases, salts, and chemical solutions commonly found in industrial and agricultural systems. Its smooth interior surface reduces friction and buildup, supporting consistent flow rates and easier system maintenance over time. The slip design simplifies installation, allowing contractors and maintenance personnel to quickly align and bond the fitting without the need for threading or specialized tools, which can significantly reduce labor time and installation costs.

Additionally, the 45-degree configuration is particularly useful in tight or complex piping layouts where gradual directional changes are required to optimize space and reduce mechanical stress on the piping system. The Schedule 80 wall thickness provides added strength and rigidity, helping the elbow maintain its shape and performance under higher operating pressures and temperatures within PVC’s rated limits. This makes the fitting suitable for both pressurized and non-pressurized applications, including potable water systems (where permitted by code), industrial fluid transfer, cooling and process water lines, and various OEM installations. Westlake’s manufacturing expertise ensures uniform wall thickness and precise molding, which contributes to consistent solvent-cement bonding and predictable performance in the field.

The fitting is lightweight compared to metal alternatives, improving handling safety and reducing transportation and installation effort without sacrificing strength. Its long service life and low maintenance requirements make it a cost-effective solution over the lifespan of the piping system. Whether used in new installations or as a replacement component during system upgrades or repairs, the Westlake Pipe & Fittings 817015 1.5″ 80 PVC 45-Degree Slip Elbow delivers dependable performance, efficient flow control, and compatibility with a wide range of Schedule 80 PVC piping configurations. By choosing this fitting, engineers, contractors, and facility managers benefit from a trusted brand, proven material performance, and a design that balances strength, efficiency, and ease of installation, ensuring smooth operation and long-term reliability across diverse applications.
