Unidelta elbow PE GZ 50 mm x 5/4" – threaded male adapter (602549)

Unidelta elbow PE GZ 50 mm x 5/4" is a polyethylene (PE) elbow fitting with a male threaded 5/4" outlet, designed to change the direction of a 50 mm PE pipeline while providing a threaded connection for valves, taps or other threaded accessories. The fitting is intended for use in potable water supply, irrigation and general fluid transport systems where a robust PE elbow with a threaded transition is required.

Advantages

The PE construction offers chemical resistance, corrosion-free performance and long service life in buried or exposed installations. The integrated male thread provides a standardised mechanical connection point for metal or plastic valves and fittings, eliminating the need for separate adapters. The compact elbow form reduces the space needed for directional changes and simplifies pipeline routing in confined areas.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution systems
• Irrigation networks and agricultural water delivery
• Garden and landscape watering installations
• Connection of valves, taps or appliances to PE mains
• Repair and modification of existing PE pipe runs

Key specifications

• Material: Polyethylene (PE)
• Pipe connection size: 50 mm
• Threaded outlet: Male 5/4"
• Function: 90° elbow with threaded transition
• Application: Water supply and irrigation

How to use

Prepare the PE pipe end by cutting square and deburring. Insert the 50 mm pipe into the socket end of the elbow according to the manufacturer’s recommended joining method for PE fittings (e.g., electrofusion, butt fusion or appropriate mechanical joint) and complete the joint following applicable standards and safety procedures. Wrap or seal the male thread as required for the chosen accessory, then screw in the valve, tap or threaded fitting until properly seated and leak-free. Pressure-test the assembly after installation to verify integrity.

Usage recommendations

Use compatible joining methods and qualified technicians for fusion joints. Select thread sealant suitable for potable water if installing in drinking water systems. Avoid exposure to prolonged UV without appropriate protection and follow local codes for buried or exposed pipeline installations.
