PERLA Female Elbow 20mm x 1/2 inch Blue

The PERLA female elbow is a professional-grade plumbing fitting designed to provide a secure 90-degree transition in piping systems. With a 20mm pipe connection and a 1/2-inch female threaded outlet, this component is engineered for high-pressure water distribution. Its robust polypropylene construction ensures long-term resistance to corrosion and mechanical stress, making it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial plumbing installations.

Advantages

This fitting stands out due to its high durability and resistance to environmental factors, which is essential for maintaining leak-free connections over time. The precision-engineered threads allow for quick and secure assembly, reducing installation time and the risk of connection failures. Its lightweight yet sturdy design makes it easy to handle during complex piping layouts, while the high pressure rating ensures safety and stability in demanding water supply networks.

Suitable for

• Potable water supply systems
• Irrigation and garden watering networks
• Residential plumbing repairs and extensions
• Industrial fluid distribution lines

This fitting may not be suitable for high-temperature applications exceeding the thermal limits of polypropylene. It is also not intended for use with aggressive chemical solvents or fuels that could degrade the plastic material over time.

Key specifications

• Material: Polypropylene
• Pipe diameter: 20 mm
• Thread type: 1/2 inch internal thread
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Maximum pressure: 16 Bar
• Color: Blue and black

To install the PERLA female elbow, ensure the pipe end is cut cleanly and deburred. Insert the pipe into the fitting until it reaches the internal stop, ensuring a tight seal. For the threaded side, apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male connector before screwing it into the 1/2-inch female thread. Tighten manually or with appropriate tools, taking care not to overtighten and damage the plastic threads.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of the 20mm pipe diameter with your existing system.
• Ensure the 1/2-inch threaded connection matches your specific valve or pipe outlet.
• Check that the system pressure does not exceed the 16 Bar limit.
• Confirm that the fluid being transported is compatible with polypropylene.

For optimal performance, always inspect the threads for debris before assembly and ensure the pipe is fully seated within the fitting to prevent leaks. Avoid using excessive force when tightening the threaded connection to maintain the integrity of the fitting.
