Cantex 51338 Schedule 40 Gray PVC Plain-End 90° Rigid Elbow

The Cantex 51338 Schedule 40 Gray PVC Plain-End 90° Rigid Elbow is engineered to redirect rigid PVC conduit runs through a clean quarter-turn bend without sacrificing wire-pulling clearance. This standard radius elbow is molded from durable, non-conductive Schedule 40 Gray PVC and is available in a range of trade sizes from 2-Inch through 4-Inch, allowing electricians and contractors to select the correct fit for underground and above-ground rigid conduit systems where a dependable, corrosion-resistant direction change is required. The plain end design allows for solvent-weld installation into standard Schedule 40 PVC conduit runs, and the standard radius bend supports smooth cable and wire feed during pulls across the entire size range.

Key Features

  • Trade Size Range: Available in 2-Inch, 3-Inch, and 4-Inch trade sizes to match a variety of rigid PVC conduit runs.
  • 90-Degree Standard Radius Bend: Provides a smooth quarter-turn transition in rigid PVC conduit runs, minimizing wire-pulling resistance compared to sharper bends.
  • Durable PVC Construction: Molded from Schedule 40 Gray PVC for excellent resistance to corrosion, moisture, and chemical exposure common in conduit installations.
  • Plain End Connection: Designed for solvent-weld joining into Schedule 40 PVC conduit systems, delivering a secure, permanent connection.
  • Non-Conductive Material: PVC construction eliminates concerns over electrical conductivity or corrosion associated with metallic fittings.
  • Gray Finish: Standard Schedule 40 gray color for easy identification and compatibility with common rigid PVC conduit color schemes.

Cantex 5133828 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What trade sizes does the Cantex 51338 Schedule 40 PVC 90-degree elbow come in?
Three trade sizes: 2-inch, 3-inch and 4-inch. The part numbers run 5133828 for 2-inch, 5133830 for 3-inch and 5133832 for 4-inch, so order by the trade size of the conduit run you are bending.
2) Does this Cantex elbow glue in, or does it have threaded or belled ends?
Both ends are plain end, so it is a solvent-weld fitting. You cut your Schedule 40 PVC conduit square, prime and cement, and push into the elbow socket. There is no thread and no integral bell coupling, so if you need a threaded transition to a metal box or rigid steel you need a separate terminal or male adapter.
3) Can I use this elbow in a direct-burial underground conduit run?
Yes. The 51338 gray Schedule 40 elbow is rated by Cantex for underground as well as above-ground rigid PVC conduit runs, and the PVC resists corrosion, moisture and chemical exposure in buried installations. A solvent-welded joint is permanent and watertight when primed and cemented properly.
4) What should I use instead of the Cantex 51338 elbow if the conduit run only needs a partial direction change rather than a full quarter turn?
The Cantex 51338 is a 90-degree standard radius plain end elbow in Schedule 40 gray PVC, so it turns the run a full quarter. For a shallower offset, the Carlon UA7AL-CAR is a 3-inch Schedule 40 PVC 45-degree plain-end elbow in gray, which changes direction half as much and lets you pair two of them for an offset around an obstruction. Both use plain ends for solvent-weld joining into Schedule 40 PVC conduit.
5) Is a Carlon 45-degree PVC elbow a direct substitute for a Cantex 51338 90-degree elbow?
No. The Carlon UA7AL-CAR is a 45-degree plain-end elbow, while the Cantex 51338 is a 90-degree elbow, so swapping one for the other changes the geometry of the run. They share the same Schedule 40 PVC material, gray color, and plain-end solvent-weld connection, so either will bond into the same conduit, but the 45-degree fitting will not complete a quarter-turn on its own.
6) Is this a standard radius or long radius 90-degree elbow?
Standard radius. For a sweep through a straight 90, that is fine, but on long pulls with large stiff conductors a long sweep or special radius elbow reduces sidewall pressure further. If you are pulling 4-inch with heavy feeders over a long distance, spec a long radius sweep instead of this standard radius bend.
7) I need a 45-degree bend, not a 90. What else is available?
For a shallower change of direction, the Thomas and Betts Carlon UA7AL-CAR is a 3-inch Schedule 40 PVC 45-degree plain-end elbow in gray. Same solvent-weld plain-end joining method, half the turn. Two 45s are often used in place of a single 90 to ease a wire pull.
8) I need a 3-inch Schedule 40 PVC elbow to turn a conduit run 90 degrees. Does Carlon's 3-inch elbow do the same job as the Cantex 51338 in 3-inch?
Not the same turn. The Cantex 51338 in 3-inch trade size (MPN 5133830) is a 90-degree standard radius elbow. The Carlon UA7AL-CAR is also a 3-inch Schedule 40 PVC plain-end elbow in gray, but it bends 45 degrees. For a single-fitting quarter turn in 3-inch Schedule 40, the Cantex 51338 3-inch is the fitting that matches the requirement.
9) If I am standardizing on gray Schedule 40 PVC plain-end fittings, can I mix Cantex and Carlon elbows in the same run?
Yes, as long as you pick the right angle for each point in the run. The Cantex 51338 elbows are gray Schedule 40 PVC with plain ends for solvent-weld joints, offered in 2-inch, 3-inch, and 4-inch trade sizes. The Carlon UA7AL-CAR is likewise a gray Schedule 40 PVC plain-end elbow in 3-inch. Both bond into standard Schedule 40 PVC conduit the same way, so the practical difference is the 90-degree bend on the Cantex versus the 45-degree bend on the Carlon.
10) Why use a PVC elbow instead of a metal conduit elbow?
PVC is non-conductive and will not rust, so it is used where metallic fittings would corrode, such as buried runs, wet locations and chemically aggressive environments. The tradeoff is that PVC gives you no equipment grounding path, so a separate equipment grounding conductor has to be pulled in the raceway.
11) Will this gray elbow match the conduit already on my job?
It is the standard gray used on Schedule 40 electrical PVC conduit, so it matches typical gray rigid PVC runs visually and in material. White or other colors are plumbing or specialty product, not electrical raceway.
