DIYers, plumbers, and irrigation installers working with solvent weld pipe systems need a 45° elbow that seats cleanly, bonds securely, and holds up under sustained pressure — whether buried underground or exposed in a utility space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThese PVC 45° elbow socket fittings are manufactured from rigid uPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride), offering a smooth internal bore for consistent flow. Available in socket inner diameters from 20mm (~¾\") to 200mm (~7⅞\"), they cover a wide range of pipe schedules. Three colour options — White, Blue, and Grey — allow easy system identification or aesthetic matching. Solvent weld connection ensures a permanent, watertight bond when used with compatible PVC cement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eTypical applications include residential and commercial cold water drainage systems, sub-surface irrigation manifolds, rainwater harvesting pipework, and conduit routing in electrical or cable management installations. Long-tail use cases include garden irrigation 45-degree elbow fittings, uPVC solvent weld drainage elbows, and PVC pipe direction change fittings for DIY plumbing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"hdiy-compat\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"hdiy-compat-icon\"\u003e🔗\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for solvent weld uPVC pipe systems.
