Unidelta elbow PE GW 50 mm x 2" – compression fitting, model 602651

Unidelta elbow PE GW 50 mm x 2" (model 602651) is a polyethylene compression elbow that provides a compact means to change direction and connect a 50 mm PE pipe to a 2" threaded or compression outlet. Designed for potable water and irrigation installations, this fitting combines chemical resistance and impact durability typical of PE materials with a compression interface and a 2" female threaded connection for compatibility with threaded accessories. The compact 90° geometry reduces space requirements and simplifies routing where a directional change and a transition to a threaded component are needed.

Advantages

The fitting offers corrosion and chemical resistance inherent to polyethylene, low weight for easy handling, and resistance to cracking from freeze-thaw cycles when installed according to good practice. The compression joint provides a secure, leak-resistant mechanical connection to PE pipe without the need for heat fusion, while the 2" threaded outlet allows direct connection to standard threaded valves or accessories. Its compact elbow form helps minimize bending stresses on the pipeline and simplifies installation in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution systems
• Irrigation and landscaping pipelines
• Transitions from PE mains to threaded valves or meter fittings
• Repairs or retrofits requiring a compact directional change

Key specifications

• Material: polyethylene (PE)
• Pipe connection size: 50 mm compression
• Outlet connection: 2" female threaded/compression
• Elbow angle: 90°
• Suitable media: potable water and irrigation water
• Typical applications: underground and above-ground piping where PE is specified

How to use

Select a compatible 50 mm PE pipe and ensure cut ends are square and free from debris. Slide the compression nut and gland onto the pipe, insert the pipe firmly into the compression socket of the elbow until it reaches the depth stop, then tighten the compression nut to the manufacturer’s recommended torque to form a secure seal. Attach the 2" threaded component to the elbow’s outlet using appropriate thread sealant or tape if required for the application. Verify alignment and perform a pressure or leak test according to local regulations and system requirements before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible PE pipe and threaded accessories rated for the intended operating pressure and temperature. Avoid exposing the fitting to prolonged direct sunlight without UV protection on the pipeline, and follow local plumbing codes for backfill, support, and testing. When installing in frost-prone areas, ensure adequate burial depth or insulation to reduce risk of freeze damage.
