PERLA Male Elbow 20mm x 1/2 inch Blue

The PERLA male elbow is a professional-grade plumbing fitting engineered for creating secure, 90-degree transitions in water distribution systems. Designed with a 20mm pipe connection on one side and a 1/2-inch male threaded outlet on the other, this component provides a reliable solution for connecting polyethylene pipes to threaded valves, taps, or other plumbing fixtures. Its robust polypropylene construction ensures excellent resistance to corrosion and chemical degradation, making it a dependable choice for various fluid transport applications.

Advantages

This male elbow stands out due to its high-pressure tolerance, capable of withstanding up to 16 bar, which ensures stability and safety in demanding plumbing environments. The precision-engineered threads and connection points facilitate a tight, leak-proof seal, minimizing the risk of water loss or system failure. Its lightweight yet durable polypropylene material simplifies the installation process while offering long-term structural integrity, even in systems subject to constant pressure.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply systems
• Irrigation and garden watering setups
• Connecting pipes to threaded plumbing components
• Commercial fluid distribution networks

This fitting is not intended for use with high-temperature steam or aggressive chemical solvents that may compromise the integrity of the polypropylene material. It is also not suitable for applications requiring metal-to-metal structural load-bearing connections.

Key specifications

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

How to use

To install the PERLA male elbow, ensure the pipe end is cut cleanly and deburred to prevent damage to the internal seals. Insert the pipe into the 20mm side of the fitting until it reaches the internal stop, ensuring the compression nut is tightened securely to create a watertight seal. For the 1/2-inch male threaded side, apply appropriate thread sealant tape to the threads before screwing the fitting into the corresponding female component. Tighten manually or with a suitable tool, taking care not to overtighten to avoid damaging the plastic threads.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the pipe diameter matches the 20mm specification exactly.
• Ensure the threaded connection matches the 1/2-inch female port of your existing equipment.
• Check that the system pressure does not exceed the 16 bar limit.
• Confirm compatibility with the fluid type being transported.

Usage recommendations: Always inspect the fitting for any debris before installation and ensure the pipe is fully inserted into the compression fitting to guarantee a secure and leak-free connection.
