Unidelta Elbow PE to Male BSP 20 mm x 1/2" (602520) plumbing fitting

The Unidelta Elbow PE to Male BSP 20 mm x 1/2" is a compact plastic plumbing fitting designed to join 20 mm polyethylene (PE) pipe to a 1/2" male British Standard Pipe (BSP) threaded component. Intended for potable water and general plumbing systems, the right-angle elbow provides a durable, space-saving connection between PE tubing and threaded valves, adapters or fixtures. Its construction supports installation in confined areas and domestic water distribution circuits where a change of direction and threaded interface is required.

Advantages

This Unidelta elbow offers a reliable, corrosion-resistant connection between PE pipework and threaded metal or plastic fittings. The compact 90° design reduces the need for additional space and simplifies routing in tight installations. As a plastic fitting compatible with potable water, it minimizes the risk of galvanic corrosion when used with dissimilar metals and contributes to a lightweight assembly that is easy to handle during installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Domestic potable water distribution
• Connecting PE service lines to threaded valves or taps
• Plumbing installations in confined or compact spaces
• Retrofit and repair work on existing pipe networks

Key specifications

• Connection A: polyethylene (PE) socket for 20 mm pipe
• Connection B: male BSP thread 1/2"
• Angle: 90° elbow
• Material: engineered plastic suitable for water supply
• Application: potable water and general plumbing use

How to use

Prepare the 20 mm PE pipe by cutting squarely and deburring the end to ensure a clean fit. Insert the pipe into the PE socket end of the elbow until it reaches the stop; secure according to the PE connection method appropriate for the fitting type (for example, using an approved compression or electrofusion procedure if required by local practice). Apply appropriate sealing tape or sealant to the 1/2" male BSP thread on the mating component, then screw the elbow onto the threaded fitting by hand and tighten to the recommended torque using suitable tools. Verify alignment and check for leaks after pressurizing the system.

Usage recommendations

Use this elbow in systems designed for potable water; select compatible seals and installation methods for PE-to-thread transitions. Follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer installation guidelines, avoid over-tightening threaded connections, and perform pressure testing after installation to confirm leak-free joints.
