AKA 90° PE Pipe Elbow J-64 63 mm (PE-56-063)

AKA 90° PE Pipe Elbow J-64 63 mm is a right-angle polyethylene (PE) fitting designed to connect two sections of PE pipe with a 63 mm nominal diameter. Engineered for leak-resistant jointing in PE piping systems, the elbow is suitable for potable water distribution, drainage lines and agricultural irrigation networks. Its smooth internal surface supports steady flow and reduces the risk of blockages or sediment accumulation in outdoor and underground installations.

Advantages

The fitting is manufactured from durable PE material that offers chemical resistance, flexibility and a long service life in typical temperature ranges for water and irrigation systems. Its 90° angle enables compact directional changes without additional cutting or complex assemblies. The simple geometry and consistent dimensions facilitate reliable fusion or mechanical joining methods with compatible PE pipes, helping to maintain hydraulic efficiency and reduce the likelihood of leaks at junctions.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution in residential and small commercial systems
• Irrigation networks for agriculture, gardens and greenhouses
• Drainage and stormwater piping where PE materials are used
• Outdoor buried or exposed PE piping runs requiring right-angle turns

Key specifications

• Material: Polyethylene (PE)
• Angle: 90° elbow
• Nominal diameter: 63 mm
• Application: Water, irrigation, drainage
• Suitable joining methods: PE fusion welding or compatible mechanical couplers

How to use

Select the elbow size that matches the outer diameter and SDR of the PE pipes in the system. Prepare pipe ends by cutting square and cleaning the mating surfaces to remove dirt, grease and burrs. Join the elbow using the recommended fusion welding technique or a compatible mechanical coupling, following the equipment manufacturer's parameters for temperature, pressure and cooling times. After assembly, visually inspect joints and perform pressure testing according to local plumbing or irrigation standards before putting the system into service.

Usage recommendations

Store the elbow away from direct sunlight and extreme heat prior to installation to prevent deformation. For buried installations, ensure proper bedding and backfill to avoid point loads on the fitting. When designing systems with multiple 90° turns, consider using gentle bends where possible to reduce hydraulic losses. Consult local codes for potable water installations and follow manufacturer instructions for fusion welding to ensure durable, leak-free connections.
