3 inch Cast Iron Soil Short Sweep Elbow No Hub

3" Cast Iron No-Hub Short Sweep Elbow – Built for High-Efficiency DWV Applications

The 3" Cast Iron No-Hub Short Sweep Elbow is a key component for achieving optimal flow in drain, waste, and vent (DWV) systems. Designed to provide a 90-degree change in direction with a shorter radius than a long sweep elbow, it is ideal for applications requiring compact layouts while maintaining hydraulic performance and code compliance.

This fitting is manufactured in accordance with ASTM A888 and CISPI 301 standards, ensuring compatibility with no-hub pipe systems. The short sweep configuration helps manage directional changes where space constraints exist without sacrificing system integrity.

Product Specifications

• Material: Cast Iron
• Nominal Size: 3 inches
• Bend Type: Short Sweep, 90°
• Connection: No-Hub x No-Hub
• Compliance: Meets ASTM A888, CISPI 301, and NSF standards for DWV systems

Performance Highlights

• High Strength and Durability: Resists impact, deformation, and temperature extremes in underground and above-grade installations
• Efficient Hydraulic Design: Short radius allows for effective direction changes in confined spaces while minimizing flow disruption
• Fire Resistance: Non-combustible material aids in maintaining fire-rated assemblies per building codes
• Noise Reduction: Superior acoustic dampening properties make it ideal for multi-unit and commercial buildings

Installation Guidelines

Install using mechanical no-hub couplings that comply with ASTM C1277 or CISPI 310 specifications. Proper alignment and torque are critical for maintaining watertight seals and joint integrity. Due to the dimensional precision and rigidity of cast iron, ensure accurate measurements and secure bracketing during setup. Professional installation is recommended to maintain system performance and meet code requirements.

Common Applications

This 3" short sweep elbow is typically used in horizontal DWV piping for residential, commercial, and institutional structures. It is suitable for floor drains, branch lines, and any system requiring compact and directional routing with minimal risk of clogging or flow restriction.

Did You Know?

Short sweep fittings are essential in scenarios where space is limited but venting or waste flow must remain efficient. Unlike tight 90° elbows, they provide better flow characteristics, reducing the chance of buildup or backflow.

The 3" Cast Iron No-Hub Short Sweep Elbow offers a combination of strength, dimensional accuracy, and long service life. Specify it with confidence for demanding DWV installations requiring durability and efficient water management.
