AKA 90° PE Elbow 25 mm with 1/2" Male Thread (model PE-57-125)

AKA 90° PE Elbow 25 mm with 1/2" Male Thread is a plastic angle fitting designed for connection to 25 mm polyethylene (PE) pipework and to threaded components via a 1/2" male (GZ) thread. The fitting provides a compact 90-degree directional change while maintaining a sealed transition between PE tubing and standard threaded valves, adapters or appliances. It is intended for potable water systems and general plumbing installations where a reliable, corrosion-resistant joint is required.

Advantages

The fitting is lightweight and corrosion-resistant thanks to its plastic construction, reducing the risk of galvanic corrosion when joining different materials. Its integrated 1/2" male thread enables direct connection to common threaded plumbing parts without additional adapters, simplifying installation. The compact 90° form minimizes space requirements at angle changes, and the design provides a stable, watertight junction with properly prepared PE pipe ends.

Suitable for

• Irrigation systems and garden water supply
• Household potable water lines
• Underfloor heating manifolds and heating circuits
• Connections to threaded valves, taps and appliances

Key specifications

• Pipe connection size: for 25 mm polyethylene (PE) pipe
• Thread type: 1/2" male (GZ) threaded end for connection to standard threaded components
• Angle: 90-degree elbow
• Material: plastic suitable for potable water and general plumbing
• Application: indoor and outdoor plumbing where compatible with ambient temperature and pressure limits of PE piping

How to use

Prepare the 25 mm PE pipe by cutting it squarely and deburring the end. Insert the pipe into the push or socket end of the elbow according to the product’s connection method and ensure a proper fit; if the joint requires additional sealing or clamps, fit these components per manufacturer instructions. Thread the 1/2" male end into the corresponding female threaded component using appropriate thread sealant or tape as recommended for potable water installations. Tighten to a firm, leak-free connection without over-torquing to avoid damage to the plastic thread.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility with the pressure and temperature ratings of the PE piping system and with the materials of the threaded mating part. Use approved sealing materials for potable water use. For long-term reliability, avoid excessive mechanical stress at the joint and protect the fitting from direct UV exposure or high-temperature sources if not rated for such conditions.
