Engineered from high-quality polypropylene, this fitting features a 25mm pipe connection on one side and a 1/2 inch male threaded end on the other, making it an ideal solution for transitioning between pipe sizes or connecting to threaded components. Its robust construction ensures long-term durability and resistance to environmental factors, providing a leak-proof seal essential for both residential and commercial plumbing installations.

Advantages

This male elbow offers exceptional structural integrity due to its polypropylene composition, which is resistant to corrosion and chemical degradation. The precision-engineered design facilitates a straightforward installation process, reducing the time and effort required for assembly. With a maximum pressure rating of 16 Bar, it is highly capable of handling demanding water supply conditions, ensuring consistent performance and safety in various irrigation and plumbing setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting 25mm pipes to 1/2 inch threaded valves or outlets
• Agricultural and garden irrigation systems
• Potable water distribution networks
• Industrial fluid transport systems

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use with high-temperature steam or aggressive chemical solvents that are incompatible with polypropylene. It is also not suitable for applications requiring metal-to-metal threaded connections where extreme torque might exceed the material limits of the plastic threads.

Key specifications

• Material: Polypropylene
• Pipe diameter: 25 mm
• Thread size: 1/2 inch male thread
• Angle: 90 degrees
• 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 25mm pipe into the fitting until it is fully seated. For the threaded side, apply appropriate thread sealant tape to the 1/2 inch male thread before screwing it into the corresponding female port. Tighten the connection manually or with a suitable tool, ensuring not to overtighten, which could damage the plastic threads.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 25mm pipe diameter matches your existing system requirements
• Ensure the 1/2 inch male thread is compatible with your female connection point
• Check that the system pressure does not exceed the 16 Bar limit
• Confirm compatibility of polypropylene with the specific fluid being transported

Usage recommendations: Always inspect the fitting for any debris before installation and ensure that the pipe is inserted straight to maintain the integrity of the internal seal. Regular maintenance checks are recommended to ensure the connection remains secure over time.
