Avonplast UPVC 3/4″ x 1/2″ Threaded Elbow 90 degree

The Avonplast UPVC 3/4″ x 1/2″ Elbow 90 degree is a type of fitting used in UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) piping systems to change the direction of flow by 90 degrees. Here’s an overview of its features and applications:

1. Material: The elbow is made of UPVC, a rigid and durable type of plastic known for its corrosion resistance, chemical inertness, and longevity. UPVC is commonly used in piping systems due to its affordability and ease of installation.
2. Size: The elbow has a nominal size of 3/4″ x 1/2″, which corresponds to the diameter of the pipes it is designed to connect. The 3/4″ side refers to the larger end, while the 1/2″ side refers to the smaller end. This size is suitable for small to medium-sized plumbing and irrigation systems.
3. 90-Degree Bend: The elbow features a 90-degree bend, allowing it to change the direction of flow in the piping system by a right angle. This is useful for routing pipes around obstacles or for connecting pipes at corners.
4. Socket Connections: The elbow has socket connections on both ends, allowing it to be connected to UPVC pipes using solvent cement. The sockets provide a secure and leak-free connection when properly installed.
5. Versatility: Elbows are essential components in UPVC piping systems and are used to route pipes around obstacles, corners, or other piping components. They allow for easy installation and alignment of pipes and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
6. Pressure Rating: The elbow is designed to withstand standard operating pressures commonly encountered in plumbing and irrigation systems. It is essential to adhere to recommended pressure ratings and installation guidelines to ensure optimal performance and safety.
7. Corrosion Resistance: UPVC material provides excellent resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and UV radiation, making the elbow suitable for use in harsh environments and outdoor applications.
8. Easy Installation: The elbow can be easily installed using solvent cement to create a permanent, watertight bond between the pipes and the fitting. It is essential to follow recommended installation procedures to ensure a secure joint.

In summary, the Avonplast UPVC 3/4″ x 1/2″ Elbow 90 degree offers a reliable and versatile solution for changing the direction of flow in UPVC piping systems. Its durable construction, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation make it a preferred choice for various plumbing and irrigation applications.
