Description
45o Elbows Plain
Description
Plain 45o elbows are designed to join two PVC pipes together at an angle of 45o (external angle 235o) with the use of solvent weld cement. No special tools are required.
Pressure Rating
PVC solvent weld fittings (sizes 1/2" to 8") have a pressure rating of 15 bar (215 psi) at 20oC.
PVC threaded fittings (1/2" to 4") have a pressure rating of 12 bar (170 psi) at 20oC
As temperature increases the pressure rating is reduced. PVC systems should not be used where temperatures exceed 60oC.
Sizing - Solvent Weld Pipe & Fittings
Imperial (inch) PVC pipe and fittings sizing is not straightforward. They are sized by their nominal bore or approximate inside diameter.
The following table details pipe outside diameters (o.d.) for each imperial size. The inside diameter (i.d.) of the socket end of the corresponding fitting will be the same as the outside diameter of the pipe.

Sizing - BSP Threads
The following table details approximate thread diameters for male BSP threads.
| Nom Pipe Size | 1/2" | 3/4" | 1" | 1 1/4" | 1 1/2" | 2" | 2 1/2" | 3" | 4" |
| Thread Dia mm | 21.0 | 26.4 | 33.2 | 41.9 | 47.8 | 59.6 | 75.2 | 87.9 | 113.0 |
