Maybe less of a question, but more of just wanting to rant and rave. One of my big projects recently was rerouting an air conditioner condensate line in my church. Tom, you would love the original, with about ten 90 degree pressure elbows, about half of them after they necked down to half inch in a long horizontal run. My new drain has about four 90 degree turns, the first 2 sweeping curves in 1'' ID flexible tubing and 2 more at the bottom of almost 20' of 3/4'' PVC. When I was planning the job, I looked at Lowes' and saw long radius drain ells. Then I go back a week later and can't find them. Didn't find them at 3 other places either. When I have to redo something that didn't work because it wasn't done right, I hate to cut the same corners. I don't want to bother the plumbing supply house for a $1 worth of pipe fittings, but looks like it may be my only choice to do the job right. The thing has been a pain with water running down on the library ceiling for almost 20 years. I am sick of it. For now I have the line put together unglued with some pressure ells out of a box in the church boiler room. I have no idea where the box came from. It is mostly 3'' and 4'' schedule 80 PVC pressure fittings. Where would anybody use that? I hope it isn't leftovers from the drains in the last addition.

Hey Lab, Sorry about the delay but we were in the eye of Francis when she came over Tampa Bay. We're still digging out and picking up.
You could build long sweep ellbos out of 45's or ask for long sweep ells at your local plumbing supply house.
3 and 4" Schedule 80 fittings sounds like fittings for downspouts for rainwater run off. Why they would be pressure fittings escapes me. Regards, Tom
