Sanitas PPR Elbow 90 Degree D25 x 1/2 Inch with Metal Thread

The Sanitas PPR elbow is a high-quality 90-degree pipe fitting engineered for seamless transitions between 25 mm polypropylene pipes and 1/2 inch threaded components. Designed for durability and precision, this fitting features a robust metal thread insert that provides a secure, leak-proof connection, making it an essential component for modern plumbing and heating infrastructure.

Advantages

This PPR elbow offers exceptional thermal resistance and chemical stability, ensuring consistent performance in both hot and cold water supply systems. The integration of a high-grade metal thread ensures compatibility with standard metal fittings, reducing the risk of thread stripping or mechanical failure. Its smooth internal surface minimizes pressure loss and prevents the buildup of deposits, promoting efficient fluid flow throughout the piping network.

Suitable for

• Residential and commercial water supply systems
• Heating system installations
• Connecting PPR piping to valves, faucets, or other threaded hardware
• Hot and cold water distribution networks

When it may not be suitable

This fitting is not intended for use with high-pressure steam systems or industrial chemical pipelines that exceed the temperature and pressure ratings of polypropylene material. It should not be used in applications requiring compatibility with non-standard thread types or materials that may cause galvanic corrosion.

Key specifications

• Angle: 90 degrees
• Pipe diameter: 25 mm
• Thread size: 1/2 inch
• Material: Polypropylene (PPR) with metal thread insert
• Connection type: Fusion welding for pipe side, threaded for component side

How to use

To install the Sanitas PPR elbow, ensure the pipe ends are clean and free of debris. Use a professional PPR welding machine to heat the pipe and the fitting socket simultaneously according to the manufacturer's temperature guidelines. Once the material reaches the required fusion state, insert the pipe into the fitting without rotating it and hold it in place until it cools. For the threaded side, apply appropriate thread sealant, such as PTFE tape or liquid sealant, before screwing the component into the metal insert to ensure a watertight seal.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the outer diameter of your existing piping system
• Ensure the thread type of your existing hardware matches the 1/2 inch standard
• Check the maximum operating temperature and pressure of your system
• Use compatible welding equipment for PPR installation

Usage recommendations

Always perform a pressure test on the completed installation before concealing the pipes behind walls or flooring to ensure all joints are perfectly sealed and secure.
