Purpose and fit
This PVC elbow joins two three-inch Schedule 40 pipes at a 22.5-degree angle using hub sockets on both ends. It is designed for gravity-flow drainage systems in residential or light-commercial plumbing installations.
Check before ordering
Verify that your existing pipe is Schedule 40 with a three-and-one-half-inch outside diameter and that the system operates within a negative-twenty to one-forty Fahrenheit range. Confirm local codes allow solvent-weld hub connections for the intended drain layout.
Replaces and upgrades
The fitting replaces a damaged or misaligned hub elbow in the same size and schedule without changing pipe diameter. The upgrade is worthwhile when a shallower bend improves flow velocity or clears an obstruction that a standard ninety-degree elbow cannot.

Questions about this item
Does the 1WKE9 elbow come with a seal or solvent cement, or must I buy them separately?
The fitting is supplied without a seal; solvent cement and primer are also not included and must be purchased separately for a solvent-weld joint.
How do I confirm this 22.5-degree Schedule 40 hub fits my 3-inch PVC drain line?
Match the 3-inch nominal pipe size and 3-1/2-inch outside diameter marked on your existing pipe; the hub sockets are sized for that exact Schedule 40 dimension.
Will the 22.5-degree sweep maintain gravity flow without creating a pressure restriction in a residential DWV system?
Yes, the long-radius 22.5-degree bend is rated for gravity-flow maximum operating pressure from -20 °F to 140 °F, suitable for standard drain-waste-vent installations.
