Female Elbow

Cat 15. PVC Pressure 90 degree Female threaded adaptor elbows. Used to change direction of pipe by 90 degrees. This is an adaptor elbow, so named because it adapts a fitting meant for pipe into a threaded elbow. Thus, one end fits inside a PPVC fitting (same size as pipe) and the other end has a female thread.

Pressure PVC pipes and fittings are made from PVC-U. The pipe is rigid and comes in 6mt lengths.

The pipe is joined with it's mating fitting using solvent cement. See installation guide for PVC-U. The jointing system in known as solvent cement joints(SCJ).

The joints do require a setting time of 24 hours before pressurized.

Applications are:- Pumped sewerage and effluent pipelines, Potable water, Irrigation and turf watering, Slurry transport, Pressure sewerage, Water supply, Recycled water.

A comprehensive range of pressure fittings is available to complete the system, from 15mm - 150mm. Some larger fittings are available on request.

The fittings are white or off-white.

Performance

Pressure rating on fittings are PN18 (1800 kpa) and the pipe is available from PN4.5 (450 kpa for low pressure applications) to PN18.

Typically temperature ranging between 0‚ ° to 50‚ °C. There are special consideration for application outside this range.

Fittings and pipes are manufactured in accordance with AS/NZS 1477  PVC pipes and fittings for pressure applications.

They also comply with AS/NZS 4020 Testing of products for use in contact with drinking water and meet all Watermark requirements.
