Giacomini R561Y008 Double Elbow Plumbing Fitting 18 mm 90 Degree

The Giacomini R561Y008 is a professional-grade double elbow plumbing fitting engineered for creating secure and precise 90-degree connections in hydraulic systems. Designed with an 18 mm diameter, this component is specifically crafted to facilitate efficient fluid flow within heating and water distribution networks. Its robust construction and high-quality brass finish ensure long-term reliability and resistance to the stresses typically found in residential and commercial plumbing environments.

Advantages

This double elbow fitting offers exceptional durability due to its high-quality brass composition, which provides excellent corrosion resistance and structural integrity over time. The precise 90-degree geometry allows for clean, space-saving pipe routing, reducing the need for complex piping configurations. Its compatibility with standard copper piping ensures a tight, leak-proof seal, which is essential for maintaining the pressure and efficiency of modern heating and water supply systems.

Suitable for

• Residential heating system installations
• Potable water distribution networks
• Professional plumbing maintenance and repairs
• Copper pipe routing requiring 90-degree turns

This fitting may not be suitable for high-pressure industrial steam applications or systems utilizing pipe materials other than copper, as the connection method is specifically optimized for copper tubing. It is also not intended for use in environments with highly aggressive chemical fluids that could compromise the brass material.

Key specifications

• Connection type: 90-degree double elbow
• Pipe diameter: 18 mm
• Material: Brass
• Compatibility: Copper pipes

To install the Giacomini R561Y008, ensure that the copper pipe ends are clean, deburred, and free of any debris or oxidation. Insert the pipes into the fitting until they are fully seated, ensuring that the connection is secure according to standard plumbing practices for copper fittings. Verify the integrity of the connection by performing a pressure test before finalizing the installation or enclosing the pipes.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your existing copper piping matches the 18 mm specification.
• Ensure the fitting material is compatible with your specific fluid type and system temperature.
• Confirm the quantity required for your project, as these are supplied in packs of 10.

For optimal performance and safety, always follow local building codes and professional plumbing standards when installing brass fittings. It is recommended to use appropriate pipe cutters and deburring tools to ensure a perfect fit and prevent potential leaks.
