AKA 90° PE Elbow J-71 25 mm, female thread 1/2"

AKA 90° PE Elbow J-71 25 mm, female thread 1/2" is a polyethylene elbow designed to change the direction of a 25 mm PE pipe by 90° while providing a female 1/2" threaded outlet for connection to threaded valves, fixtures or adapters. The fitting enables a secure transition between smooth PE piping and metal or plastic threaded components, and is intended for use in potable water distribution, irrigation and general plumbing installations where a corrosion-resistant plastic elbow is preferable.

Advantages

The polyethylene construction offers chemical resistance and corrosion-free operation compared with metal fittings, while the integrated female 1/2" thread allows direct connection to standard threaded fittings without additional adapters. Its compact 90° geometry simplifies directional changes in confined spaces and reduces the need for multiple fittings. The design provides a reliable mechanical connection to 25 mm PE pipes when used with the appropriate joining method.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution lines with 25 mm PE piping
• Irrigation and garden watering systems
• Connections from PE pipe to threaded valves, taps or appliances
• Domestic and light commercial plumbing where corrosion resistance is required

Key specifications

• Material: polyethylene (PE)
• Pipe connection size: 25 mm
• Thread type: female 1/2" (standard pipe thread)
• Angle: 90° elbow
• Application: potable water, irrigation, general plumbing

How to use

Prepare the 25 mm PE pipe end according to the chosen joining method (e.g., insertion with compression sleeve, electrofusion or butt fusion where applicable) ensuring a clean, square cut and no debris. Insert or fuse the pipe into the PE side of the elbow following the manufacturer's connection procedure for a leak-free joint. Apply a suitable thread sealant or PTFE tape to the female 1/2" thread before engaging the threaded male fitting, ensuring correct hand-starting and final tightening with appropriate tools to avoid overtightening. Perform a pressure test of the assembled system to verify integrity.

Usage recommendations

Use fittings and installation methods compatible with 25 mm PE piping and rated for potable water if used on drinking water systems. Avoid excessive bending or mechanical loads near the elbow; support piping to prevent strain on the fitting. Select thread sealant appropriate for potable water and compatible with the materials being joined.
