1-1/2 PVC SCH40 SWEEP 90

.

🔧 What it is

• Size: 1-1/2"
• Material: PVC (Schedule 40)
• Type: Sweep 90° elbow (long-radius 90)
• Connection: socket (slip) x socket (glue joints)

⚙️ What it does

• Changes pipe direction by 90 degrees
• Uses a gradual bend (sweep radius) instead of a sharp turn
• Helps maintain better flow and reduced clogging risk

$90^\circ$

🧱 Key features

• Long-radius bend (sweep style) = smoother flow than standard 90°
• Solvent-weld connections (PVC primer + cement)
• Schedule 40 wall thickness (standard DWV/pressure rating depending on use)
• Corrosion-resistant plastic construction
• Common in drain and vent piping

🏗️ Typical applications

• Residential drain lines
• Bathroom and kitchen DWV systems
• Laundry and utility drains
• Vent piping systems
• Light irrigation or non-critical pressure systems

🧠 Simple explanation

It’s basically a gentle 90-degree PVC elbow that turns the pipe smoothly instead of sharply, helping water flow easier and reducing clogs.

💡 Sweep vs standard 90

• Sweep 90: curved, easier flow, better for drains
• Standard 90: tight turn, more restriction, used where space is limited
