DWV elbows are PVC fittings specifically made for use in drain, waste, and vent systems. DWV pipe elbows are engineered to change the direction of flow in a plumbing network by a preset angle. Their design and various options allow installers to navigate the physical constraints of building structures, worksite equipment, and processes. Also known as bends and sweeps, DWV elbow fittings have a vital role in residential, commercial, and industrial sanitary systems to effectively route sewers, drain lines, wastewater systems, and vent lines to the proper point of discharge. Their installation and use ensure onsite wastes are securely conveyed without compromising health, safety, or system integrity.
DWV elbows work by providing an angled path for the flow of wastes and vent gasses. The smooth curvature of the elbow and PVC material minimizes the amount of friction and turbulence created as waste liquids, solids, or gasses move through DWV pipes and reduces concerns for blockages or backflow. DWV elbow fittings are available in a complete range of types including elbow bends, vent elbows, return bends, heel elbows, double bends, and long sweeps. Bend angles depend on product type and include 1/16, 1/8, 1/6, 1/4, and 1/2 bends and 1/4 and 1/2 long sweeps.

Quality and Safety Standards
Our DWV elbows are manufactured in the USA by industry leaders from ASTM D1784 Cell Class 12454 PVC material for the highest quality standards. DWV elbow fittings meet ASTM D2665, ASTM D3311, and NSF 14 standards and requirements for drain, waste, vent applications. These standards guarantee our DWV fittings are consistently manufactured to deliver the reliability and durability to meet the hardworking demands of DWV applications. Engineered, tested, and certified to comply with local building and plumbing codes to meet regulations and requirements for public and environmental health
The PVC used in production is a strong thermoplastic material known for its resilience and long service life. DWV PVC is resistant to many environmental exposure effects such as rust, weather, and damage from underground soil chemistry. PVC has excellent resistance against acids, alkalis, oils, inorganic chemical solutions and vapors as well as sewage and sewer gasses. DWV elbow fittings are non flammable, have good electrical insulation, low thermal absorption, and smooth interior walls that resist scaling. DWV elbows are rated for temperatures up 140°F (60°C) and have a minimum temperature of 32°F (0°C) for water-based pipe networks.
Applications and Uses
Common applications for DWV elbows include residential and commercial plumbing systems where they are used to route water and waste away from fixtures like toilets, sinks, and showers, and towards sewer or septic systems. They are used in venting applications to expel gasses from a sewer system or generated from onsite activities. DWV elbows are also used in agriculture and industrial buildings that require chemical resistance and long term durability. Their versatility and engineering make DWV elbows a fundamental part of nearly all plumbing systems designed for modern buildings.
Our DWV elbows are a leading choice in quality and performance. They meet industry standards and plumbing codes for DWV systems and are precision engineered to meet the hard working demands of drain, waste, and vent plumbing systems. By adhering to high standards and using premium materials, our products are built to meet and exceed expectations.
