PERLA Female Elbow 40mm x 1" Blue

The PERLA female elbow is a robust plumbing fitting designed to provide a secure and leak-proof 90-degree connection in water distribution systems. With a 40mm pipe diameter and a 1-inch internal threaded connection, this component is engineered for high-pressure environments, supporting up to 16 Bar. Constructed from durable polypropylene, it offers excellent resistance to chemical degradation and environmental stress, ensuring long-term reliability for both professional plumbing installations and agricultural irrigation setups.

Advantages

This fitting stands out due to its high-quality polypropylene construction, which provides superior durability and resistance to corrosion compared to metal alternatives. The precise 90-degree angle design allows for efficient directional changes in piping layouts without compromising flow integrity. Its lightweight nature simplifies handling during installation, while the high pressure rating ensures consistent performance in demanding water supply networks. The blue and black color scheme is standard for identification in professional irrigation and water management systems.

Suitable for

• Agricultural irrigation systems
• Residential and commercial water supply lines
• Fluid distribution networks
• Professional plumbing infrastructure projects

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use with high-temperature fluids or steam, as polypropylene may lose structural integrity under extreme heat. It is also not compatible with piping systems that require metallic threading or specific chemical solvents that are incompatible with polypropylene materials.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 40 mm
• Thread type: 1 inch internal thread
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Material: Polypropylene
• Maximum pressure: 16 Bar
• Color: Blue and black

How to use

To install the PERLA female elbow, ensure the pipe end is cut cleanly and deburred to prevent damage to the internal seals. Insert the 40mm pipe into the compression side of the fitting until it is fully seated. Tighten the compression nut securely by hand or with a suitable tool to ensure a watertight seal. For the 1-inch threaded side, apply appropriate thread sealant tape to the male connector before screwing it into the internal thread of the elbow to prevent leaks.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the pipe diameter matches the 40mm specification exactly.
• Ensure the 1-inch male thread connection is compatible with your existing hardware.
• Confirm that the operating pressure of your system does not exceed 16 Bar.
• Check that the fluid temperature remains within the safe operating range for polypropylene.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the connection points for signs of leakage or mechanical stress, especially in systems subject to frequent pressure fluctuations. Ensure that the fitting is not subjected to excessive mechanical tension or vibration during operation.
