Product Description

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC 45° Elbow provides gentle directional changes in plumbing layouts, offering superior flow characteristics compared to 90-degree fittings. The 45-degree angle creates smoother water flow with less turbulence and reduced pressure drop, making it ideal for applications where maintaining optimal flow rates is critical. This fitting is particularly useful in tight spaces where gradual direction changes are needed or when routing pipes around obstacles.

Manufactured from premium CPVC compound with FlowGuard Gold technology, this elbow delivers exceptional durability in both hot and cold water systems. The precision-molded design ensures consistent wall thickness and reliable solvent cement bonding. Perfect for creating offset connections, navigating around structural elements, or optimizing pipe routing in complex installations.

Recommended Applications

• Offset Connections: Creating parallel pipe runs with gentle offsets around obstacles
• Drainage Slopes: Achieving proper drainage angles in horizontal pipe runs
• Space-Efficient Routing: Navigating tight spaces where 90° bends would be impractical
• Flow Optimization: Reducing pressure drop in long pipe runs requiring direction changes
• Pump Discharge Lines: Smooth transitions from vertical to horizontal runs
• Multi-Story Installations: Gradual direction changes in riser systems

Installation Guidelines

FAQs

1) When should I use a 45° elbow instead of a 90° elbow?

Use 45° elbows when you need gentler direction changes that maintain better flow characteristics and lower pressure drop. They're ideal for creating offsets, navigating around obstacles with minimal flow restriction, and applications where two 45° elbows can replace a 90° bend for smoother flow. Use 90° elbows for sharp right-angle turns where space is limited.

2) Can I use two 45° elbows to make a 90° turn?

Yes, using two 45° elbows creates a gentler 90° turn with better flow characteristics than a single 90° elbow. This configuration reduces turbulence and pressure drop, making it ideal for pump discharge lines, long horizontal runs, and applications where maintaining flow velocity is important. However, it requires more space and an additional fitting.

3) What is the pressure drop difference between 45° and 90° elbows?

A 45° elbow typically has 30-40% less pressure drop than a 90° elbow due to the gentler flow path. For systems with multiple direction changes or long pipe runs, using 45° elbows where possible can significantly improve overall system performance and reduce pump requirements.

4) How do I calculate the offset created by a 45° elbow?

For a 45° elbow, the offset equals the run distance (horizontal distance = vertical distance). For example, if you need to offset a pipe by 6 inches, you'll need approximately 6 inches of straight pipe between two 45° elbows. This 1:1 ratio makes layout calculations straightforward.

5) Are 45° elbows available in all CPVC pipe sizes?

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus 45° elbows are available in common sizes including 15mm (1/2"), 20mm (3/4"), 25mm (1"), and larger diameters. Availability may vary by size, with 15mm and 20mm being most common for residential applications. Check with your supplier for specific size availability.
