Cantex 5133816 6-Inch Schedule 40 PVC 90° Elbow
The Cantex 5133816 is a 6-Inch Schedule 40 PVC 90° elbow (UL40 bend) engineered for use in underground and above-ground non-metallic conduit runs. Molded from rigid PVC to Schedule 40 wall thickness, this 90° bend allows electrical and communication conduit systems to change direction cleanly while maintaining a continuous, corrosion-resistant raceway. The 6-Inch trade size makes it well suited for larger feeder runs, utility installations, and high-volume conduit systems where a dependable, code-compliant directional fitting is required.

Cantex 5133822 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What trade sizes does the Cantex Schedule 40 PVC 90 degree elbow come in?
Two trade sizes: 6 inch (MPN 5133816) and 4 inch (MPN 5133822). Both are Schedule 40 rigid PVC with a full 90 degree sweep. Order by trade size to match your conduit run, 6 inch for larger feeder and utility runs, 4 inch for mid-size raceway.
2) Will a Cantex Schedule 40 PVC elbow glue to Schedule 80 conduit of the same trade size?
Yes. Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC conduit share the same outside diameter at a given trade size, so a Schedule 40 belled socket accepts Schedule 80 conduit of the same trade size with standard PVC conduit cement. The difference is wall thickness, not OD, so the Schedule 40 elbow is the thinner-walled part of the run. Where the spec calls for Schedule 80 because the fitting is exposed to physical damage, use a Schedule 80 elbow instead.
3) What should I use instead of a Cantex Schedule 40 PVC 90 degree elbow when the conduit run only needs a gradual offset?
The Cantex Schedule 40 PVC elbow is a full 90 degree bend, sized 4-inch and 6-inch trade size, intended to turn a conduit run squarely. When the run only needs to shift direction partway - jogging around an obstruction or stepping a duct bank over - a 45 degree fitting is the one to specify. The Thomas & Betts UA7AL-CAR is a 3-inch Schedule 40 PVC 45 degree plain-end elbow in gray from the Carlon series. Two 45s can be combined to form an offset without the abrupt turn a 90 introduces into a wire pull.
4) Can this PVC 90 degree elbow be used in a direct-burial underground conduit run?
Yes, it is built for both underground and above-ground non-metallic conduit runs. The rigid PVC body resists corrosion, which is why it holds up in buried duct where steel elbows would need coating. It maintains a continuous non-metallic raceway with the rest of your Schedule 40 PVC system.
5) Should I use a 90 degree elbow or two 45s to change direction in a PVC conduit run?
A single 90 degree sweep gives you the full quarter turn in one fitting, which keeps the bend radius continuous and avoids kinking or pinching the wire pull. Two 45s spread the turn over a longer distance and are the choice when the direction change is gradual or you need to offset around an obstruction. For a 45 degree fitting, ZenSupply carries the Carlon UA7AL-CAR 3-inch Schedule 40 PVC 45 degree plain-end elbow, though note it is a 3-inch fitting, not 4 or 6.
6) What do I need besides the elbow to finish a PVC conduit direction change?
The elbow itself is just the bend. You will also need PVC conduit cement rated for electrical conduit to solvent-weld the joints, and couplings if the fitting ends do not mate directly to your conduit. For buried runs, factor in the strapping or spacers your installation method calls for. The elbow ships as the fitting only, in 6 inch or 4 inch trade size.
7) Is a 6-inch PVC 90 elbow appropriate for a large utility feeder duct run?
That is the intended use. The 6 inch trade size is called out for larger feeder runs, utility installations, and high-volume conduit systems, and the Schedule 40 wall gives the standardized thickness those systems are specified around. For commercial and industrial raceway and new construction expansion, it is the same fitting.
