Description

Westlake Pipe & Fittings 417080 8″ Slip x Slip 45-Degree Elbow

The Westlake Pipe & Fittings 417080 8″ Slip x Slip 45-Degree Elbow is a heavy-duty Schedule 40 PVC fitting designed to create smooth directional changes in large-diameter piping systems. With two 8-inch slip socket connections set at a 45-degree angle, it allows for gradual flow redirection while minimizing turbulence, pressure loss, and mechanical stress within the system.

Constructed from high-quality PVC, the 417080 offers excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, moisture, and soil exposure. Unlike metal fittings, it will not rust or scale, making it suitable for both above-ground and underground installations. Its durable construction ensures long-term reliability in municipal water systems, irrigation networks, storm drainage, wastewater infrastructure, commercial plumbing, and industrial fluid handling applications.

The 45-degree design provides a smoother transition than a 90-degree elbow, helping maintain consistent flow velocity and system pressure—especially important in high-capacity, large-diameter lines. The smooth interior walls reduce friction and discourage buildup, supporting efficient fluid movement over extended operation.

Both slip socket ends are engineered for solvent-weld installation with standard 8-inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe. When properly installed using primer and solvent cement, the joints form a strong, leak-resistant bond that becomes an integral part of the piping system. This permanent connection reduces the likelihood of leaks, joint separation, or vibration-related movement over time.

Despite its large size, the lightweight nature of PVC simplifies handling and positioning during installation, reducing labor time and equipment requirements compared to metal alternatives. Precision-molded sockets ensure proper insertion depth and alignment, contributing to consistent, professional results in new construction, system upgrades, or infrastructure maintenance projects.

Designed for dependable performance and efficient flow control, the Westlake 417080 8″ Slip x Slip 45-Degree Elbow provides a reliable solution for gradual directional changes in high-capacity PVC piping systems.
