Sch40 45° ELBOW (SOC x SOC)
Product Overview
Missing a critical fitting during the height of the installation season can lead to immediate system shutdowns and costly project delays. When your crews are on-site during peak summer heat, a simple lack of Sch40 45 degree elbows can result in open trenches, wasted labor hours, and compromised turf health for your clients. Supply chain fluctuations often lead to long lead times for high-volume PVC components, making it difficult to meet tight project deadlines. Planning your inventory ahead of time ensures that your installations remain on schedule, preventing the frustration of failed inspections or emergency site visits due to stockouts.
The Lesso Schedule 40 45 degree elbow offers a superior interior finish and consistent wall thickness compared to lower-grade alternatives. This precision engineering reduces friction loss and ensures a more reliable solvent weld, which significantly lowers the risk of future leaks and long-term maintenance costs. By utilizing high-quality fittings that meet strict ASTM standards, you provide your clients with a durable irrigation system while maintaining a clear competitive edge through professional-grade reliability and reduced callback rates.

Installation Notes
For a secure and leak-proof installation, ensure both the pipe end and the internal socket are deburred and cleaned before applying primer. Use a high-quality PVC cement rated for the specific pipe size and environmental temperature, following the manufacturer recommendations for set and cure times. Align the 45 degree angle accurately before the solvent weld begins to bond, as the quick-set nature of PVC cement allows for minimal adjustment once seated.
