How to Care for Plants over Winter: Keep Your Plants Protected During Cold Months

The Schedule 40 PVC 45° Elbow (SxS) is designed to change the direction of your piping system more gradually than a standard 90-degree bend. Featuring Slip (Socket) connections on both ends, this fitting slides over standard PVC pipe and bonds permanently using PVC solvent cement, creating a smooth, leak-proof joint.
By utilizing a 45-degree angle, you reduce friction loss and water turbulence within the line, maintaining higher pressure and flow rates for your irrigation system. This fitting is essential for navigating around obstacles or creating offsets in your main water supply lines.
Verify your pipe size and connection type.

Proper solvent welding ensures a leak-free system.
Step 1: Cut and Clean
Cut your PVC pipe squarely and remove any burrs. Wipe the pipe end and the inside of the fitting socket with a clean cloth.
Step 2: Prime
Apply PVC Primer to the outside of the pipe and the inside of the fitting socket. This softens the PVC for a better bond.
Step 3: Glue
While the primer is still wet, apply a coat of PVC Cement (Glue) to both surfaces.
Step 4: Assemble
Immediately push the pipe into the fitting while twisting a quarter turn to spread the glue evenly. Hold firmly for 30 seconds to prevent push-out.
