Uponor press elbow 45° PPSU 40 mm - PPSU fitting for plastic pipe systems

Uponor press elbow 45° PPSU 40 mm is a 45-degree press-fit elbow made from PPSU (polyphenylsulfone) for 40 mm plastic piping systems. The fitting is designed to create a smooth directional change in potable water and heating circuits and is compatible with standard Uponor press installation tools. Its PPSU construction offers chemical resistance and dimensional stability suitable for residential and commercial water distribution and HVAC systems.

Advantages

The PPSU material provides high mechanical strength, resistance to hot water and common chemicals, and long-term dimensional stability. The press-fit joint delivers fast, reliable connections without the need for heat or adhesives, reducing installation time. The 45° angle allows for compact routing of pipes and smoother flow compared with sharp bends. The fitting is suitable for potable water and heating applications and integrates with other compatible press fittings and piping components.

Suitable for

• Potable water distribution in residential and commercial buildings
• Heating circuits and HVAC installations
• Renovation projects where press connections replace soldered or glued joints
• Systems requiring corrosion- and chemical-resistant fittings

Key specifications

• Material: PPSU (polyphenylsulfone)
• Angle: 45° elbow
• Connection type: press-fit
• Pipe nominal diameter: 40 mm
• Application: potable water and heating systems

How to use

Prepare the plastic pipe by cutting squarely and deburring the inner and outer edges. Insert the pipe into the press elbow until it reaches the internal stop. Use the appropriate Uponor press tool and jaws for a 40 mm PPSU fitting to make the press connection according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. After pressing, verify the joint visually and, if applicable, perform a pressure test in line with installation standards and local regulations.

Usage recommendations

Store fittings in a dry, temperature-stable location away from direct sunlight. Use only compatible press tools and jaws sized for 40 mm PPSU fittings. Follow local plumbing codes and perform pressure testing after installation to confirm joint integrity.
