WAVIN Elbow PP 32 mm 45° PN20/20C - plumbing fitting

WAVIN Elbow PP 32 mm 45° PN20/20C is a polypropylene (PP) plumbing fitting designed to connect and redirect 32 mm pipes at a 45-degree angle. Manufactured for use in domestic and commercial water distribution and heating systems, this elbow provides a compact directional change while maintaining the pressure performance required by PN20/20C-rated installations.

Advantages

The polypropylene construction offers chemical resistance, low weight and resistance to corrosion, ensuring long service life in potable water and heating return applications. The 45° geometry reduces flow disturbance compared with sharper angles and allows more flexible routing in confined spaces. The fitting is compatible with standard 32 mm PP piping systems that operate within the declared pressure class, enabling consistent joint performance and easier on-site assembly.

Suitable for

• Domestic cold and hot water distribution
• Heating return lines and low-temperature heating circuits
• Plumbing installations in apartments, houses and light commercial buildings
• Repair and retrofit work where a 45° change of direction is required

Key specifications

• Material: polypropylene (PP)
• Nominal diameter: 32 mm
• Angle: 45°
• Pressure rating: PN20/20C
• Application: potable water and heating return lines
• Connection type: socket/joint compatible with 32 mm PP pipe systems

How to use

Ensure the connected pipeline is compatible with PP materials and rated for PN20/20C. Prepare pipe ends by cutting squarely and cleaning off burrs and debris. Insert the pipe into the elbow socket or join according to the system’s recommended joining method (e.g., solvent welding, fusion or push-fit depending on compatible system components). Verify alignment and support the adjacent pipework to avoid stress on the joint. Pressure-test the system in accordance with local standards after completion to confirm integrity.

Usage recommendations

Use this elbow only within the specified pressure and temperature limits of PN20/20C-rated systems. Avoid exposure to unsupported mechanical loads, direct sunlight for prolonged periods without UV protection, and aggressive chemicals not compatible with polypropylene. For installations involving higher temperatures, pressures or alternative fluids, consult system documentation or a qualified installer to confirm suitability.
