3 Inch ABS 90 Degree Vent Elbow, ABS Construction. This particular fitting is a 90 Degree Vent Elbow for ABS Pipe applications and has a solid ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) construction. The Elbow has a 3 inch nominal size and is used to connect two pieces of ABS pipe while making a 90 degree bend in the pipe system. In order to properly install this fitting, ABS cement is required to secure the elbow fitting to the existing pipe and also to create a strong connection for other pipes and fittings in the system. Unlike PVC, ASB fittings and pipe do not need a “primer” in order to soften the pipe and create a solvent weld. This will save you time as you fix or construct your plumbing system. ABS pipes and fittings are used in a wide variety of DWV (Drain, Waste and Vent) applications. It can also be installed above or below ground due to its ability to be resistant to most acids, salts and alkalis.
