DWV elbow types???
Dear Readers,
Can anyone explain (or forward a faq) where I can find out more about the intended use of the following type of elbow fittings: 1. 90deg Street Elbow 2. 90deg Street Closet Elbow 2. 90deg Closet Elbow 3. 90deg Long Turn Elbow 4. 90deg Long Turn Street Elbow I saw these variations on a manufacturer's catalog (http:// www.nibco.com/assets/plasticfit.pdf) and am curious to learn more about them all. Specifically, is the term "street" when the fitting is male/female? Is there a special use for a "long turn" elbow? Thanks, -Theodore. |

Yes, street has one male and one female side. l Long turn are used for drain portion for good flow and ease of snaking. Closet elbows are for toilets. |

Since it's not slamming the water from one directon to another, it produces much less resistance to the flow of water. I use long turn / radius whenever possible. I don't see long turn elbows explicitly called out in the building code. I am assuming it is acceptable practice to use for toilet waste piping? |
