Ricom elbow PP 87° threaded DN80 with extension L500

Ricom elbow PP 87° threaded DN80 with extension L500 is a polypropylene pipe fitting designed to change the direction of a DN80 drainage or sewer line by 87 degrees while providing an integrated extension of 500 mm. The elbow features a threaded connection that facilitates secure coupling to compatible threaded DN80 components and allows for axial adjustment during installation. Constructed from corrosion-resistant PP material, this fitting is intended for use in underground and building drainage systems where chemical resistance, dimensional stability and a compact directional change are required.

Advantages

The polypropylene construction ensures resistance to common sewer chemicals and low risk of corrosion, contributing to long service life in drainage applications. The threaded connection provides a reliable mechanical joint that can be tightened or loosened for adjustment or maintenance without solvent welding. The 87° angle gives a near-right-angle change while the 500 mm extension allows the fitting to bridge gaps and reach connection points that would be difficult with standard short-radius elbows.

Suitable for

• DN80 drainage and sewer pipelines
• Underground drainage runs in buildings and civil works
• Situations requiring a threaded joint for disassembly or adjustment
• Connections where an extended reach of approximately 500 mm is necessary

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Angle: 87° directional change
• Nominal diameter: DN80
• Connection type: threaded joint for DN80
• Extension length: 500 mm
• Intended application: drainage and sewer systems (underground and building installations)

How to use

Position the elbow in the pipeline so the 87° orientation aligns with the required change of direction and ensure the 500 mm extension reaches the mating connection. Prepare mating threaded components by cleaning threads and applying any manufacturer-recommended thread sealant or tape if required for the specific installation. Hand-start the threads, then tighten with appropriate tools to achieve a secure fit without over-torquing. Support the pipe and fitting assembly according to local installation standards to prevent stress on the joint.

Usage recommendations

Use this Ricom PP elbow in DN80 sewer and drainage systems where chemical resistance and a threaded, adjustable joint are needed. Avoid exposure to temperatures or chemicals outside polypropylene's service range, and follow applicable local codes for underground and building drainage installations. Check thread compatibility and, if necessary, use appropriate sealing materials to ensure leak-free performance.
