Description

Westlake Pipe & Fittings 817020 2″ Schedule 80 PVC 45-Degree Slip Elbow

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 817020 2″ 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 strength, durability, and chemical resistance are critical. Manufactured from premium-grade polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and built to stringent Schedule 80 specifications, this elbow fitting provides enhanced wall thickness and pressure-handling capability compared to standard Schedule 40 fittings, making it particularly suitable for industrial, commercial, and heavy-duty applications.

The 45-degree elbow design allows for smoother directional transitions than sharper 90-degree turns, reducing turbulence, minimizing friction loss, and helping to maintain consistent flow characteristics throughout the piping system. This gradual change in direction is especially beneficial in systems where maintaining flow efficiency and reducing stress on pipes and joints are important considerations, such as process piping, chemical transfer lines, water treatment facilities, and irrigation networks.

The slip-style socket ends are designed for solvent welding, creating a strong, permanent, and leak-resistant bond when properly installed with compatible PVC primer and cement. This connection method ensures uniform load distribution across the joint, enhancing long-term reliability even under continuous pressure or fluctuating operating conditions. The 2-inch nominal size makes this fitting a versatile choice for medium-capacity piping systems, providing a balance between flow capacity and ease of handling during installation.

Schedule 80 PVC construction offers excellent resistance to corrosion, rust, scaling, and degradation caused by moisture, salts, and a wide range of chemicals, making it a preferred alternative to metal fittings in aggressive or corrosive environments. Unlike metal elbows, this PVC fitting will not pit, oxidize, or suffer from electrochemical reactions, which significantly reduces maintenance requirements and extends service life. Its smooth internal bore helps to prevent buildup and scaling, supporting cleaner system operation and more predictable hydraulic performance over time.

The dark gray exterior, characteristic of Schedule 80 PVC, not only provides easy visual identification but also contributes to improved UV resistance for installations where limited exposure to light may occur, although additional protection is recommended for prolonged outdoor use. Westlake Pipe & Fittings is known for strict quality control and adherence to industry standards, and this elbow is manufactured to meet applicable ASTM specifications, ensuring dimensional accuracy, consistent wall thickness, and dependable performance across a wide range of applications.

The fitting is lightweight compared to metal alternatives, simplifying transport, handling, and installation while reducing labor costs and the need for heavy equipment. Its precision-molded design ensures proper alignment during assembly, reducing the risk of installation errors and promoting a clean, professional finish in completed piping systems. This 45-degree slip elbow is commonly used in industrial processing plants, water and wastewater treatment systems, commercial plumbing, aquaculture, pool and spa circulation systems, and agricultural irrigation where controlled flow direction and high pressure ratings are required. It performs well in both above-ground and buried installations when installed according to recommended practices. By combining strength, chemical compatibility, ease of installation, and efficient flow characteristics, the Westlake Pipe & Fittings 817020 2″ 80 PVC 45-Degree Slip Elbow represents a dependable solution for engineers, contractors, and maintenance professionals seeking long-lasting performance and system integrity in demanding piping applications.
