REHAU plumbing elbow RAUPEX 32 x 2.9 mm, 90° (SDR11)

REHAU RAUPEX 32 x 2.9 mm 90° elbow (SDR11) is a right-angle fitting intended for use with RAUPEX PEX-a pipe systems in plumbing, heating circuits and underfloor heating installations. The fitting is designed to join two lengths of 32 x 2.9 mm PEX-a pipe at a 90° angle, providing a compact directional change while maintaining flow performance and system integrity. It is compatible with potable water distribution and closed heating circuits where PEX-a technology is specified.

Advantages

The RAUPEX elbow delivers corrosion-resistant, flexible connection points that preserve the elasticity and long-term performance of PEX-a systems. Its dimensional match to 32 x 2.9 mm (SDR11) RAUPEX pipe ensures secure, leak-resistant joints when installed with recommended connection techniques. The compact 90° geometry allows simplified routing in tight spaces and on manifolds while minimising pressure loss compared with more restrictive fittings.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution lines using RAUPEX PEX-a pipe
• Underfloor heating manifolds and branch connections
• Closed-loop heating circuits and radiator feed lines
• Tight routing where a 90° directional change is required

Key specifications

• Designed for use with PEX-a pipe with nominal dimensions 32 x 2.9 mm (SDR11)
• Standard 90° elbow geometry for directional change
• Material: PEX-a compatible fitting body suitable for press or expansion installation methods used with RAUPEX systems
• Suitable for potable water and closed heating circuits
• Compact form factor for installation in manifolds and confined spaces

How to use

Select the RAUPEX 90° elbow sized for 32 x 2.9 mm PEX-a pipe and prepare pipe ends according to RAUPEX installation instructions. Use the recommended joining method for RAUPEX systems (such as RAUPEX expansion or approved press fittings) and ensure proper insertion depth and alignment. After assembly, verify connections for correct seating and perform pressure testing of the section in line with local regulations and system commissioning procedures.

Usage recommendations

Follow manufacturer installation guidelines and local plumbing codes. Use compatible RAUPEX tools and fittings, avoid excessive bending near the elbow, and perform pressure and leak tests before final commissioning.
