AKA 90° PE Elbow 63 mm with Male Thread 2" (PE-57-663)

AKA 90° PE Elbow 63 mm with Male Thread 2" is a polyethylene right-angle fitting designed to join PE pipes with a threaded connection. The fitting has a nominal diameter of 63 mm and a male 2" thread on one end, enabling transition from a plain PE pipe to a threaded component or valve. It is intended for potable and non-potable water distribution, irrigation networks, and general pipework where a durable plastic elbow with a threaded interface is required.

Advantages

The fitting is manufactured from PE, offering chemical resistance, low weight, and corrosion-free performance compared with metallic elbows. Its 90° geometry provides a compact directional change while the integrated male 2" thread allows direct connection to threaded valves, adapters or accessories without additional adapters. The smooth internal surface reduces flow resistance and sediment accumulation, and the robust construction ensures stable mechanical performance in typical water and irrigation applications.

Suitable for

• Water distribution pipelines
• Irrigation systems and sprinkler lines
• Repairing or modifying existing PE pipe networks
• Connections to threaded valves, fittings or equipment

Key specifications

• Material: polyethylene (PE)
• Nominal diameter: 63 mm
• Angle: 90° elbow
• Thread type: male 2" threaded end
• Application: water distribution and irrigation
• Surface: smooth internal bore to reduce flow resistance

How to use

Prepare the PE pipe end by cutting squarely and removing burrs. For a secure joint, use the appropriate PE socket, electrofusion saddle, or butt-fusion method recommended for the pipe system to connect the plain PE end of the elbow; follow industry-standard fusion or mechanical joining procedures for polyethylene. Screw the male 2" thread into the mating female threaded component, using suitable sealing tape or a compatible thread sealant if required for the application. Ensure alignment and support to avoid undue stress on the joint after installation.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility of pressure rating and operating temperature between the PE elbow and connected components. Avoid exposure to solvents or chemicals that may affect polyethylene, and support pipes near the elbow to prevent sagging or mechanical strain. For potable water applications, confirm that system materials and installation methods meet local regulations and standards.
