Ricom elbow PP 45° DN60, pipe fitting for drainage and ventilation

Ricom elbow PP 45° DN60 is a polypropylene (PP) pipe fitting designed for drainage and ventilation systems. The fitting provides a 45-degree change of direction for DN60 pipework and is intended for applications where a gentle angular transition is needed in wastewater, soil and vent lines. Its smooth internal surface supports efficient flow and reduces the risk of blockages in domestic and light commercial plumbing installations.

Advantages

The polypropylene construction offers chemical resistance, low weight and resistance to corrosion, making the elbow suitable for long-term use in contact with wastewater. The 45° angle provides a milder directional change than a 90° bend, which can help maintain flow velocity and reduce stress at joints. The fitting’s dimensions match DN60 systems to ensure compatibility with standard pipes and connectors used in drainage and ventilation.

Suitable for

• Residential wastewater drain lines
• Soil and vent stacks in buildings
• Bathroom and kitchen drainage systems
• Light commercial drainage where DN60 pipework is specified

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Angle: 45°
• Nominal diameter: DN60
• Intended use: drainage and ventilation systems
• Surface: smooth internal bore to promote flow

How to use

Install the elbow as part of a DN60 drainage or ventilation run, aligning the sockets and spigots according to the system’s assembly method. Ensure pipe ends are clean and free of debris before joining. Use the appropriate solvent, gasket or mechanical joint recommended for PP pipe systems if applicable, and follow local plumbing codes for slope and support. Verify alignment and secure connections with suitable clamps or fittings to prevent movement and leakage.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid exposing the fitting to temperatures or chemicals beyond the limits specified for polypropylene. Support the pipe run near the elbow to prevent sagging, and inspect joints after pressure testing or first use to confirm leak-free installation.
