1-1/2 inch CPVC CTS 45 Degree Elbow CTS x CTS

1-1/2 inch CPVC 45° Elbow – CTS Socket x Socket for Pressure Systems

The 1-1/2 inch CPVC 45° Elbow with copper tube size (CTS) socket connections is engineered for directional transitions in chlorinated polyvinyl chloride piping systems. Designed for use in pressure-rated hot and cold water distribution, this fitting is fabricated from CPVC Type IV, Grade 1 compound conforming to ASTM D1784 (Cell Class 23447-B).

With a molded 45-degree bend, this elbow provides smooth directional changes while maintaining hydraulic performance and minimizing turbulence. Its socket-to-socket configuration supports solvent welding, enabling strong, leak-resistant joints in both residential and commercial applications. The fitting is manufactured in compliance with ASTM D2846 and listed for use in potable water systems under NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF 14 certifications.

Key Advantages

• ✅ CPVC Material Rated to 100 psi @ 180°F – Suitable for domestic hot and cold water service lines
• ✅ Smooth Interior Walls – Reduces friction loss and pressure drop through transitions
• ✅ Precision-Molded CTS Sockets – Designed for solvent weld connections with matching pipe diameter
• ✅ Corrosion and Chemical Resistance – Immune to scale, pitting, and degradation from aggressive water chemistry
• ✅ Code-Compliant – Meets UPC, IPC, and applicable state plumbing codes for CPVC pressure piping

Installation Guidelines

This fitting is intended for solvent cement assembly using approved CPVC primers and solvent cements that meet ASTM F493. Cut pipe square, chamfer ends, and ensure proper insertion depth to form a secure joint. Observe recommended cure times based on ambient temperature and pipe diameter before pressure testing.

Application Use

The CPVC 1-1/2 inch 45° Elbow is commonly used in hot and cold water distribution piping systems, especially where a directional change is required within confined or offset piping routes. Suitable for residential, multifamily, and light commercial projects.

Note:

CPVC fittings are not designed for compressed air or gas systems and should not be exposed to UV light for extended periods without proper shielding.

Choose the 1-1/2 inch CPVC 45° Elbow for its dimensional accuracy, long service life, and proven compatibility with pressure-rated water distribution systems.
