Cantex 513 Series PVC 90° Conduit Elbow
The Cantex 513 Series PVC 90° Conduit Elbow is a rigid, non-metallic conduit fitting engineered to change the direction of a PVC conduit run by a full 90 degrees. Molded from durable PVC, this elbow provides a smooth interior bore that supports easy conductor pulling while eliminating the risk of corrosion common to metallic raceway systems. The 513 Series lineup spans multiple trade sizes and model numbers to match a variety of conduit runs, with this listing representing the 2" 90° configuration built to integrate seamlessly with standard Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC conduit systems used across residential, commercial, and underground electrical installations.
Key Features
- Trade Size: 2" connection size for straightforward integration into 2" PVC conduit runs, with additional trade sizes available across the 513 Series family.
- Durable Construction: Molded PVC material resists corrosion, rust, and chemical degradation compared to metallic conduit fittings.
- 90° Configuration: A precise 90-degree bend allows conduit runs to change direction without kinking or restricting wire pull-through.
- 513 Series Design: Part of Cantex's established 513 Series line of PVC conduit elbows, offering consistent fit and dimensional compatibility across the family of models.
- Smooth Interior Bore: Reduces friction during conductor installation, protecting wire insulation while pulling cable through the bend.
- Lightweight Handling: PVC construction is lighter than comparable metallic elbows, simplifying transport and on-site installation.

Cantex 5133766 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What bend angles does the Cantex 513 Series PVC conduit elbow come in?
The 513 Series PVC elbows are offered in 22.5, 45 and 90 degree bends. The 22.5 degree sweeps come in 1-1/4 inch (5136403), 1-1/2 inch (5134094) and 2-1/2 inch (5134096); the 45 degree bends in 1-1/4 inch (5133766), 1-1/2 inch (5133767) and 2 inch (5133768); the 90 degree bends in 1-1/2 inch (5133827), 3-1/2 inch (5133831), 4 inch and 6 inch (5133834). Pick the angle by how sharply the run has to turn, and use the shallower 22.5 degree fittings where you want to keep pulling tension down on a long conductor run.
2) Which trade sizes of Cantex 513 Series elbows are available?
Trade sizes run from 1-1/4 inch up to 6 inch, but not every size exists in every angle. 1-1/4 inch comes in 22.5 and 45 degree, 1-1/2 inch in 22.5, 45 and 90 degree, 2 inch in 45 degree, 2-1/2 inch in 22.5 degree, and 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 6 inch in 90 degree. Match the trade size to the conduit you are running, since the elbow sockets are sized to that same trade size.
3) What is the difference between the 36 inch and 48 inch radius 4 inch 90 degree Cantex elbows?
Both are 4 inch 90 degree sweeps, but the bend radius differs: 5133821 is the 36 inch radius and 5133843 is the 48 inch radius. The larger 48 inch radius gives a gentler sweep, which lowers sidewall pressure and pulling tension on large conductors, and it is what engineers typically specify for long underground feeder pulls. The 36 inch radius takes up less trench or vault space. Both change direction a full 90 degrees, so the choice is about pull friction and available room, not about fit.
4) Will a Cantex 513 Series elbow glue to Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC conduit?
Yes. The 513 Series elbows are built to integrate with standard Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC conduit systems, so a 2 inch elbow solvent-welds to 2 inch Sch 40 or Sch 80 conduit of the same trade size. Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 share the same outside diameter at a given trade size, which is why one socket serves both.
5) Can I use a PVC elbow instead of a metal elbow in an underground conduit run?
That is exactly where PVC earns its place. The Cantex 513 Series elbow is molded PVC, so it resists corrosion, rust and chemical attack in direct-burial and underground runs where galvanized steel eventually gives up. It is also lighter to handle than a comparable metallic elbow. Where you need the mechanical toughness of metal, such as an exposed riser subject to physical damage, a rigid metal elbow is still the better call.
6) Do I need anything else to install a Cantex 513 PVC elbow?
The elbow itself is the fitting only. You will need PVC conduit cement and primer appropriate for electrical PVC to solvent-weld each socket, plus the conduit on both sides of the bend and whatever straps or spacers the run calls for. No threading, no couplings required at the elbow, since the elbow's own belled sockets accept the conduit ends directly.
7) Which Cantex part number is the 2 inch 45 degree PVC elbow?
That is MPN 5133768, the 2 inch 45 degree fitting in the Cantex 513 Series. If you need 2 inch in a 90 degree instead, the 513 Series 90 degree bends are offered in 1-1/2 inch, 3-1/2 inch, 4 inch and 6 inch.
8) Why use a large sweep elbow instead of field-bending the PVC conduit?
A molded 513 Series elbow holds a true, consistent bend with a smooth interior bore, so conductor insulation is not scraped and the pull does not bind. Heat-bending in the field risks kinking or flattening the conduit, which restricts the raceway and raises pulling tension. For big feeders, the factory 4 inch and 6 inch 90 degree sweeps give you a repeatable radius you can calculate a pull against.
