Brass elbow fitting Perfexim GW 1" (female thread)

Brass elbow fitting Perfexim GW 1" (female thread) is a 90° plumbing connector made from corrosion-resistant brass, designed to join pipes or fittings with internal BSP/GW 1" threads. It provides a compact right-angle connection for water and heating systems in residential and light-commercial installations. The fitting's female threaded ends make it compatible with standard 1" male-threaded components, enabling straightforward integration into existing piping layouts.

Advantages

The brass construction ensures good mechanical strength and resistance to corrosion in typical potable water and heating environments, while the 90° angle reduces the need for additional bends in piping runs. Female threaded connections offer secure, leak-minimizing assembly when used with appropriate sealing materials. The compact profile of the elbow helps save space in tight installation areas and simplifies routing of supply and return lines.

Suitable for

• Domestic hot and cold water installations
• Heating systems and radiators in residential buildings
• Light-commercial plumbing and HVAC connections
• Repair or modification of existing BSP/GW 1" threaded pipework

Key specifications

• Material: Brass (corrosion-resistant)
• Angle: 90° elbow
• Connection type: Female thread, BSP/GW 1" standard
• Application media: Water and heating fluids compatible with brass
• Typical installation: Threaded pipe or fitting connections

How to use

Ensure mating components have matching 1" BSP/GW male threads and that threads are clean and free of debris. Apply an appropriate sealing method for threaded joints (thread tape or pipe sealant) according to local plumbing practice. Hand-start the fitting onto the male thread to avoid cross-threading, then tighten with a suitable wrench until secure, taking care not to overtighten and risk damaging threads. Position the elbow to achieve the desired 90° direction before final tightening. After installation, pressure-test the system and inspect joints for leaks.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible sealing materials rated for potable water or heating systems and follow local plumbing codes. Avoid exposure to aggressive chemicals that can damage brass. For installations subject to high pressure or extreme temperatures, verify material suitability and consult technical guidance where necessary.
