3-Inch PVC DWV 45° Hub Elbow
This Mueller Industries fitting redirects drainage flow at a forty-five-degree angle using a hub connection. The white Schedule 40 PVC body meets ASTM D1784 cell class 12454 for standard drain, waste and vent installations. It is supplied new and rated for a maximum temperature of one hundred forty degrees Fahrenheit.
Replaces Damaged Or Misaligned DWV Bends
Swap this elbow in when an existing hub fitting cracks, leaks or forces an awkward pipe run that stresses joints. The forty-five-degree sweep reduces turbulence compared with a ninety-degree turn, so the upgrade is worth it whenever smoother flow and less clog risk are priorities in a gravity-fed system.
Suits Residential And Light-Commercial Drain Lines
Plumbers and DIYers running three-inch PVC drain, waste or vent lines will find the hub connection familiar and the material code-compliant. Installers needing pressure-rated pipe, solvent-weld spigot ends, or fittings approved for temperatures above one hundred forty degrees should select a different product.

Questions about this item
Will this 3-inch hub elbow fit Schedule 40 PVC pipe?
Yes, it is made for Schedule 40 pipe in a 3-inch size and uses a hub connection that slides over the pipe end.
What is the correct way to solvent-weld this PVC elbow?
Clean both surfaces, apply primer then cement to the pipe and inside the hub, push the pipe fully into the socket with a quarter turn, and hold until the joint sets.
When should this DWV elbow be replaced?
Replace it if you see cracks, warping, or leaks at the joint; the material is rated to 140 degrees F, so sustained hotter discharge can shorten its life.
