PERLA Male Elbow 40mm x 1 inch Blue

The PERLA male elbow is a high-performance plumbing fitting engineered for robust and secure pipe connections in water supply and irrigation networks. Designed with a 40mm diameter and a 1-inch male thread, this 90-degree elbow connector facilitates efficient directional changes in piping layouts while maintaining structural integrity. Its construction from high-grade polypropylene ensures resistance to environmental factors and chemical exposure, making it a reliable choice for demanding hydraulic systems.

Advantages

This male elbow offers exceptional durability and reliability due to its high-quality polypropylene composition, which is specifically chosen for its longevity and resistance to corrosion. The precision-engineered threads provide a tight, leak-proof seal that minimizes the risk of water loss and pressure drops within the system. Its 90-degree angle design allows for smooth flow transitions, reducing turbulence and ensuring optimal hydraulic performance in both residential and professional installations.

Suitable for

• Professional irrigation systems
• Water supply and distribution networks
• Agricultural watering setups
• Industrial fluid transport systems

This fitting may not be suitable for high-temperature applications exceeding the thermal limits of polypropylene or for systems carrying aggressive chemicals that are incompatible with this material. It is also not intended for use in gas distribution lines or high-pressure steam systems.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 40 mm
• Connection type: 1-inch male thread
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Material: Polypropylene
• Maximum pressure rating: 16 Bar
• Colour: Blue and black

To install the PERLA male elbow, ensure the pipe end is clean and free of debris. Insert the pipe into the fitting until it reaches the internal stop, ensuring the seal is properly seated. Tighten the male thread connection onto the corresponding female port using appropriate tools, taking care not to overtighten, which could damage the threads. Verify the connection by slowly pressurizing the system and checking for any signs of leakage.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 40mm pipe diameter matches your existing system requirements.
• Ensure the 1-inch male thread is compatible with your female connection point.
• Confirm that the system operating pressure does not exceed the 16 Bar limit.
• Check chemical compatibility if the fluid being transported is not standard water.

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance and to prevent long-term stress on the connection, ensure that the piping is adequately supported and anchored near the elbow to avoid mechanical strain on the fitting.
