Ricom PP elbow 87° red DN60/80 for ventilation and ducting

Ricom PP elbow 87° red DN60/80 is a polypropylene duct fitting designed to change airflow direction by 87 degrees in ventilation and ducting systems. The fitting accommodates connections for DN60 and DN80 pipes and is intended for use in air distribution, exhaust and ventilation installations in residential and commercial buildings. Its red color allows easy identification in installations and maintenance tasks.

Advantages

The polypropylene construction provides chemical resistance, low weight and corrosion-free performance compared with metal alternatives. The 87° bend gives a near-right-angle change of direction while reducing turbulence compared with a sharp 90° turn. The product is compatible with standard DN60 and DN80 pipe interfaces and is straightforward to install in modular duct systems.

Suitable for

• Residential ventilation and exhaust systems
• Commercial HVAC ducting where DN60 and DN80 connections are used
• Air distribution runs requiring a compact 87° directional change
• Maintenance and retrofitting of existing plastic duct networks

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Angle: 87° bend
• Color: red
• Compatible pipe diameters: DN60 and DN80
• Application: ventilation, exhaust, air distribution

How to use

Align the Ricom PP elbow with the DN60 and DN80 pipe ends and insert the pipes until a secure fit is achieved according to the system's connection method (push-fit, solvent-weld, or gasketed joint as applicable). Ensure that mating pipe ends are clean and free of debris before assembly. Support the ductwork to prevent undue stress on the fitting and verify airflow direction and sealing once installed. Follow local building codes and the ventilation system design for best results.

Usage recommendations

Use the elbow in systems designed for plastic duct components and moderate temperature ranges typical for ventilation systems. Avoid exposure to open flame or prolonged contact with aggressive solvents. Inspect joints periodically for signs of wear or leakage and replace the fitting if deformation or damage is detected.
