Cantex Schedule 40 PVC 45° Conduit Elbow, 1/2" and 1"

Cantex Schedule 40 PVC 45° Elbow, Standard Duty

The Cantex Schedule 40 PVC 45° Elbow is a rigid, non-metallic conduit fitting engineered for dependable directional changes in electrical raceway systems. This family of fittings is available in trade sizes ranging from 1/2" through 1", allowing contractors and electricians to select the correct size for their specific Schedule 40 PVC conduit run while maintaining consistent Schedule 40 standard (STD) dimensions across the entire size range. Molded from rigid PVC, each elbow in this family provides a smooth, corrosion-resistant 45° bend that reduces pulling tension on conductors compared to a sharper 90° turn, making it a preferred choice for both above-ground and below-ground non-metallic conduit installations.

Key Features

• Trade Size Range: Available from 1/2" through 1" to match standard Schedule 40 PVC conduit runs across a variety of project needs.
• Durable Construction: Rigid PVC material resists corrosion, rust, and chemical degradation compared to metallic conduit fittings, extending service life in both wet and dry environments.
• Angle Configuration: 45° bend allows directional changes in conduit runs without the sharp turn of a 90° elbow, reducing pulling tension on conductors during wire installation.
• Schedule Rating: Manufactured to Schedule 40 standard (STD) dimensions for compatibility with standard PVC electrical conduit systems across every size in the family.
• Lightweight Design: PVC construction is significantly lighter than metallic fittings, easing handling, transport, and installation in the field, particularly on larger jobs requiring multiple fittings.
• Consistent Interior Diameter: Each trade size in the range is sized to the standard interior diameter required for a consistent, code-compliant wireway.
