DB2 3" Elbow 45 degree x 24" radius bend

What this product is for

This 3 in (76 mm) DB2 PVC conduit bend is used to change direction by 45 deg in underground electrical duct runs. The bell end helps join to compatible duct or conduit sections during installation.

Use for

Use for underground electrical and communication duct systems, commercial site work, utility duct banks, and other installations where a 45 deg change in direction is required. A short sweep is typically chosen where space is tighter than a long-radius layout.

Avoid for

Avoid using this bend where a different conduit type, bend radius, or joining system is specified. Do not assume suitability for exposed raceway applications unless the full system design and local code allow it.

Best for

Best for electricians and contractors building underground PVC duct runs that need a compact 45 deg offset with a belled connection point. Commonly selected for commercial and institutional site servicing.

Installed in

Typically installed in underground duct banks, site power runs, service entrances, and communication pathways. Common installations include concrete-encased duct and direct-buried conduit systems.

Why this product exists

This fitting simplifies directional changes in underground conduit runs while maintaining a factory-formed bend and bell end. That can help reduce field bending, speed assembly, and keep the raceway layout consistent.

Compared with similar products

Compared with a long sweep bend, a short sweep uses less space and is commonly chosen where layout is constrained. Compared with straight conduit plus field-made changes, a factory bend provides a consistent angle and connection style.
