About LASCO 1″ PVC 45° Elbow (Slip x Slip)

The LASCO 1″ PVC 45° Elbow (Slip x Slip) is a rigid thermoplastic fitting specifically designed for use in Schedule 40 PVC piping systems. Its primary function is to redirect the flow of a pipeline by 45 degrees, allowing for essential layout adjustments in plumbing, irrigation, and industrial networks. The fitting features a smooth interior bore, which assists in maintaining flow efficiency while minimizing friction loss through the turn.

Constructed for professional-grade installations, this elbow utilizes slip sockets that require solvent welding. This connection method ensures a permanent, fused bond when applied with the correct primer and PVC cement. The component maintains the standard white finish of Schedule 40 fittings, ensuring seamless visual and physical integration with existing compatible piping networks.

Applications & Material Features of LASCO 1″ PVC 45° Elbow (Slip x Slip)

This fitting is engineered for fluid handling applications where corrosion resistance is critical. Common use cases include potable water distribution, landscape irrigation, and pool or spa plumbing systems. The PVC material provides high resistance to acids, alkalis, and chemical solutions, preventing rust and scaling that can compromise metal fittings over time.

While the material is durable for liquid transport, this fitting is strictly prohibited for use with compressed air or gases due to safety risks associated with thermoplastic failure under pneumatic pressure. The slip connection design allows for precise alignment during assembly, enabling installers to adjust the angle before the solvent cement sets.
