Avonplast UPVC 1-1/2″ Shoe 45 degree elbow

The Avonplast UPVC 1-1/2″ Shoe 45-degree elbow is a plumbing fitting designed for use in UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) piping systems. Here’s a description of its key features and functions:

• Material: Constructed from high-quality UPVC, a rigid and durable plastic material known for its corrosion resistance and long lifespan. This material ensures the longevity and reliability of the fitting in various plumbing applications.
• Design: The 45-degree elbow features a gradual bend that allows for a smooth change in the direction of fluid flow by 45 degrees. The “shoe” design refers to a flat end or spigot on one side of the elbow, which facilitates easy insertion into a corresponding socket or fitting for a secure connection.
• Function: The primary function of the 45-degree elbow is to redirect the flow of liquids or gases in a UPVC piping system, allowing for efficient routing around obstacles or changes in direction without causing excessive pressure drop or turbulence.
• Installation: To install the 45-degree elbow, it is typically connected to UPVC pipes with compatible nominal diameters using solvent cement. The spigot end of the elbow is inserted into a socket or fitting, and solvent cement is applied to create a strong and leak-proof joint.
• Applications: Suitable for a wide range of applications in residential, commercial, and industrial plumbing systems where UPVC piping is used. Common applications include water supply lines, drainage systems, irrigation systems, and chemical processing pipelines.
• Size: Designed to accommodate UPVC pipes with a nominal diameter of 1-1/2 inches, ensuring compatibility with standard-sized pipes and fittings commonly found in UPVC plumbing installations.
• Corrosion Resistance: UPVC material offers excellent resistance to corrosion, rust, and chemical degradation, making it suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor environments, as well as in applications where exposure to corrosive substances is common.

Overall, the Avonplast UPVC 1-1/2″ Shoe 45-degree elbow provides a reliable and durable solution for efficiently routing fluids in UPVC piping systems, offering ease of installation and long-term performance.
