Elbow 90° female-to-female VIEGA 3090 — bronze fitting

VIEGA 3090 is a 90° female-to-female bronze elbow designed to connect two internally threaded pipes or fittings at a right angle. Made from bronze for enhanced corrosion resistance, this elbow is intended for water and heating systems where a durable, threaded change of direction is required. The product supports standard threaded connections and is suitable for installation in residential and commercial plumbing networks that specify bronze components.

Advantages

The bronze construction offers good resistance to corrosion and long service life in potable water and heating applications. Female-to-female threading provides a straightforward way to join two externally threaded components without adapters. The 90° angle enables compact directional changes in pipe runs, saving space and reducing the need for multiple fittings. Manufactured to the brand's quality standards, the fitting is compatible with typical threaded plumbing components and systems.

Suitable for

• Connecting two externally threaded pipes at a right angle in water supply systems
• Heating system installations where bronze fittings are specified
• Repair and maintenance tasks requiring a corrosion-resistant elbow
• Compact routing of piping in confined spaces

Key specifications

• Material: bronze for corrosion resistance in water and heating applications
• Connection type: female-to-female threaded ends for joining externally threaded components
• Angle: 90° elbow to change fluid direction sharply
• Typical applications: potable water, central heating, and general plumbing systems
• Construction: solid forged or machined bronze body for mechanical strength and durability

How to use

Ensure that the external threads on the pipes or components being connected are clean and free of debris. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads according to local plumbing codes and the sealant manufacturer's instructions. Hand-start the threaded connection, then tighten with a suitable wrench until a secure, leak-free joint is achieved, taking care not to overtighten which can damage threads or deform the fitting. Align the elbow to the required orientation before final tightening.

Usage recommendations

Verify material compatibility with system fluids and check that the bronze fitting meets local plumbing standards for potable water if used in drinking water installations. Use appropriate sealing compounds for threaded joints and follow recommended torque ranges for bronze fittings to maintain thread integrity and prevent leaks.
