3" Polypropylene Threaded 45° Street Elbow | SL30045

Product Introduction

The 3" Polypropylene Threaded 45° Street Elbow (model SL30045) from BARR Plastics is a durable plumbing fitting that redirects pipe runs by 45 degrees. Made from chemical-resistant polypropylene, this street elbow connects a male and a female thread to create a secure, low-turbulence change in direction. It’s ideal for tight routing and applications that require a smooth transition in flow.

Features & Specifications

• Model: SL30045 — 3" nominal diameter (fits 3" ID pipe)
• Material: High-strength polypropylene for chemical and corrosion resistance
• Angle: 45° bend for gradual directional changes and reduced flow turbulence
• Threaded street elbow: one male and one female threaded end for direct connections
• Threaded connections designed for easy installation and maintenance
• Lightweight construction for easier handling and faster installation
• Suitable for fluid, air, and many chemical transport applications
• Recommended sealing: PTFE (Teflon) tape or appropriate thread sealant on threaded joints

Benefits & Applications

The SL30045 polypropylene street elbow solves routing problems where a 90° turn is too sharp or space is limited. Its 45° profile reduces turbulence and helps maintain efficient flow, which can improve system performance in irrigation, water distribution, chemical processing, and ventilation systems. Because polypropylene resists many corrosive substances, this fitting outperforms metal alternatives in aggressive chemical environments and offers a lower-maintenance option for industrial and commercial plumbing. The lightweight design saves on labor and shipping costs while providing long service life in both indoor and outdoor installations.

Installation & Maintenance

Apply PTFE tape or an appropriate thread sealant to male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten and finish carefully with a wrench; do not overtighten to avoid damaging threads or the fitting material. Inspect threaded joints regularly for leaks and signs of wear, and replace the fitting if material degradation appears.
