Sanitas PPR Plumbing Elbow 02.2020

The Sanitas PPR plumbing elbow is a high-quality pipe fitting engineered for secure and reliable connections within polypropylene piping systems. Designed to facilitate precise 90-degree directional changes, this component ensures optimal fluid flow and maintains a leak-proof seal in various plumbing configurations. Its robust construction provides long-term stability and excellent resistance to corrosion, making it a dependable choice for modern water supply and heating infrastructure.

Advantages

This plumbing elbow is manufactured from durable polypropylene, which offers superior chemical resistance and longevity compared to traditional metal fittings. The grey-colored finish integrates seamlessly into standard piping installations, while the precise 90-degree angle allows for efficient routing of pipes in tight spaces. Its design minimizes pressure loss and prevents turbulence, contributing to the overall efficiency of the plumbing system.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply systems
• Commercial heating installations
• Polypropylene piping network extensions
• Directional pipe routing in plumbing projects

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use in high-pressure steam systems or applications where temperatures exceed 60°C. It is also not compatible with metal piping systems unless appropriate transition adapters are utilized.

Key specifications

• Material: Polypropylene
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Operating temperature range: 5°C to 60°C
• Connection count: 2
• Colour: Grey

How to use

To install the Sanitas PPR elbow, ensure that the pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Use a specialized PPR welding tool to heat both the fitting and the pipe end simultaneously according to the manufacturer's recommended duration. Once the surfaces reach the required temperature, insert the pipe into the elbow without twisting and hold firmly until the joint cools and solidifies, creating a permanent, homogeneous bond.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your existing piping to ensure compatibility.
• Ensure the operating temperature of your system remains within the 5-60°C range.
• Confirm that you have the necessary welding equipment for polypropylene installation.

Usage recommendations

Always perform a pressure test on the completed piping system before concealing the pipes behind walls or under floors to ensure all joints are perfectly sealed.
