PVC Elbows | Schedule 40 Utility | 45° Sweep | Bell End
Schedule 40 PVC Utility 45° Sweep Elbows are manufactured for power utility conduit systems where utility-grade specifications are required. Constructed from rigid PVC with integral bell ends, these elbows are suitable for direct burial, encasement in concrete, or aboveground use. The 45° bend design provides smoother directional transitions while maintaining strength and durability.
Utility-grade elbows are built to NEMA TC-2 standards and rated for 90°C conductors. Both standard bell ends and long bell options are available, providing flexibility for different installation requirements. Utility elbows match the dimensional standards of regular Schedule 40 but are specified for utility projects in certain jurisdictions (such as California).
Key Features:
- 45° Sweep Design: Smooth directional transitions reduce cable stress in conduit runs
- Utility-Grade PVC: Meets NEMA TC-2 dimensional requirements, rated for 90°C conductors
- Bell End & Long Bell Options: Secure solvent-weld connections with standard or extended socket depth
- Durable Construction: Rigid, impact-resistant PVC for underground, concrete-encased, or exposed use
- Made in the USA: Manufactured to meet power utility specifications
Utility vs. Standard Schedule 40
Utility Schedule 40 and Standard Schedule 40 elbows are dimensionally identical but differ in certification and wall requirements:
- Standard Schedule 40 – ETL Listed to UL 651, NEC/NEMA compliant, widely used for electrical/telecom installations
- Utility Schedule 40 – Meets NEMA TC-2 “utility grade” minimum wall specifications; often specified by electric utilities and required in certain states (e.g., California)
