The PVC DWV 90-degree elbow with side inlet features a hub x hub x hub connection and is used to change the direction of flow. Please refer to NIBCO technical data sheets and catalogs for engineering and installation information. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is the most frequently specified of all thermoplastic materials because of its light weight, durability, and cost-effectiveness. PVC DWV is easy to install and is joined by solvent cementing or threading. PVC fittings exhibit high corrosion and chemical resistance and will not rust, scale, pit or corrode. NIBCO® plastic fittings are backed by a 5-year limited warranty. Because of its longstanding reputation for innovation and precision in design and manufacturing, NIBCO is the preferred brand in the industry.

Nibco K068250 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a side inlet elbow used for on a PVC DWV drain line?
The Nibco 4807-9 is a 90 degree (1/4 bend) DWV elbow with a third opening on the side, so it turns the drain line and picks up a second branch at the same point instead of forcing you to install a separate tee downstream. All three openings are hubs (socket), so it solvent welds onto the outside of the pipe. Typical use is a fixture arm or vent tying in right where the waste line turns.
2) Is the Nibco 4807-9 elbow threaded or does it glue on?
It glues. All three openings are hubs, meaning the pipe slips inside the socket and is joined with PVC primer and solvent cement. There are no threads on any port, so you cannot thread a trap adapter or a male adapter directly into it. If you need a threaded connection at that point, run a short stub of pipe out of the hub and solvent weld a threaded adapter onto it.
3) Does the Nibco 4807-9 meet code for a commercial building drain system?
It is manufactured to ASTM D2665 and D3311, certified to NSF/ANSI Standard 14, and NSF U.P. Certified, which are the listings inspectors look for on PVC DWV fittings. Nibco lists it for both commercial and residential plumbing. Note that the side inlet on a fitting like this is generally a vent or drainage connection subject to your local code's rules on fitting placement, so confirm the branch application with your AHJ on a spec job.
4) Do I need a separate tee if I use a 90 degree side inlet elbow?
No, that is the point of the fitting. A plain 90 degree elbow only turns the line, so tying in a branch means adding a sanitary tee or wye above or below the bend, which costs you fitting allowance and vertical space. The 4807-9 combines the turn and the branch in one body, which is what you want in a tight joist bay or a cramped wall where there is no room for two fittings in a row.
5) What else do I need to install a Nibco 4807-9 PVC DWV elbow?
PVC primer and PVC solvent cement rated for DWV, plus the pipe itself. Nothing is included with the fitting, and there are no gaskets, nuts or washers to lose. Cut square, deburr, prime both the hub and the pipe end, cement, and hold the joint. Nibco publishes plastic fittings installation instructions covering cure times, which matter more at low temperature.
6) Will a PVC DWV elbow corrode or scale in a drain line?
No. PVC will not rust, scale, pit or corrode, which is why it holds up in waste lines carrying soaps, detergents and household chemistry that eat cast iron over time. It is also light enough that a 3 inch fitting can be held up one-handed while the joint sets, a real difference on overhead work compared to hub and spigot cast iron.
