Its robust design facilitates a leak-proof connection, making it an essential component for both residential and commercial plumbing installations.

Advantages

This male elbow offers exceptional durability due to its high-quality polypropylene construction, which provides excellent resistance to chemical corrosion and environmental stress. The precision-engineered threads and dimensions ensure a tight, secure fit that minimizes the risk of leaks under pressure. Its lightweight yet sturdy design simplifies the installation process, allowing for efficient assembly in various plumbing configurations. Furthermore, the fitting is rated for high-pressure applications, providing consistent reliability in demanding water management systems.

Suitable for

• Water distribution systems
• Irrigation and agricultural watering networks
• Professional plumbing installations
• Fluid transport systems requiring 90-degree turns

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 chemicals or solvents that are incompatible with plastic materials, nor should it be used in systems where the pressure exceeds the maximum rated 16 Bar.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 40 mm
• Thread size: 1 1/4 inch male
• Material: Polypropylene
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Maximum pressure: 16 Bar
• Color: Blue and black

To install the PERLA male elbow, ensure that the pipe ends are clean, deburred, and free of debris. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape to the male threaded end if required by the specific installation standards. Insert the pipe into the fitting and tighten the connection securely using appropriate tools, ensuring not to overtighten to avoid damaging the plastic threads. Once installed, perform a pressure test to verify that the connection is leak-free before fully commissioning the system.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the compatibility of the 40mm pipe diameter with your existing system
• Ensure the 1 1/4 inch male thread matches your female connection point
• Check that the operating pressure of your system does not exceed 16 Bar
• Confirm that the fluid being transported is compatible with polypropylene

Always inspect the fitting for any signs of damage or manufacturing defects before installation. Ensure that the system is depressurized before performing any maintenance or replacement work on the plumbing line.
