Watts NH-BL-3-45E – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe size and connection type is the Watts NH-BL-3-45E elbow?
It's a 3 inch no-hub fitting, so both ends join to 3 inch no-hub (hubless) cast iron style pipe using no-hub couplings with a shielded neoprene gasket and clamp bands. There are no threads or hub and spigot ends on it, so it is not a fit for threaded or bell-and-spigot pipe.
2) Does the Watts NH-BL-3-45E no-hub elbow meet Buy American Act requirements for a government job?
No. The NH-BL-3-45E is listed as not Buy American Act compliant, so on a federal or BAA-restricted project it will not qualify and you'll need a domestically sourced fitting instead.
3) Is the Watts NH-BL-3-45E a 45 degree or 90 degree elbow?
45 degree. It turns a 3 inch no-hub line a quarter of a right angle, which is the standard offset fitting used on drainage runs where a gentler change of direction keeps flow moving. If you need a full right angle turn, this is not the fitting to order.
4) Do no-hub couplings come with the Watts NH-BL-3-45E elbow?
The NH-BL-3-45E is the elbow fitting only. No-hub joints are made with separate couplings, so plan on two 3 inch no-hub couplings, one per end, plus a torque wrench for the clamp bands to finish the connection.
5) What is the part number to order for the Watts 3 inch Blueline 45 degree no-hub elbow?
Order it as Watts NH-BL-3-45E. That single manufacturer part number covers the 3 inch Blueline no-hub 45 degree elbow; there are no finish or size options to specify with it.
