90° elbow 22 mm - thin-walled galvanized carbon steel press-fit PC5030 0220000

Application in Pressure Installations

This fitting is designed to create tight, durable connections in piping systems where a 90-degree change in flow direction is required. Made from thin-walled carbon steel, it is intended for press-fitting installation, eliminating the need for welding or threaded connections. This allows installers to quickly join pipes in hard-to-reach areas, while end-users benefit from a system resistant to vibrations and mechanical loads. With a maximum working pressure of 16 bar at 20°C, this fitting is suitable for both water supply installations and low-temperature heating systems.

Construction and Material Properties

A key feature of this product is its monolithic construction and the use of alloy steel, which provides adequate tensile and impact strength. The external surface has been subjected to electrolytic galvanizing, forming a protective barrier against corrosion in environments with moderate humidity. Unlike many other solutions, this model features no stop flange, additional valves, or air vents—it is a pure connecting element with dimensions of 22 mm on both ends. The overall length is 116 mm, allowing for proper spacing between pipes during elbow installation.

Practical Installation and Operational Benefits

Selecting this fitting accelerates the installation process by eliminating the need to prepare pipe surfaces for welding—simply clean the pipe and use a dedicated hydraulic or manual press tool. The press-fitting system ensures repeatable connections, which is crucial for large-scale construction projects. The absence of seals within the metal structure itself reduces the number of potential failure points related to rubber degradation over time, although the press technology relies on an annular seal within the press head (typically EPDM). This fitting does not carry UL or FM certifications, meaning its application should be limited to general building and industrial installations compliant with local standards for galvanized steel, rather than specific fire suppression systems requiring these particular certifications. Thanks to precise profiling of the thin wall, the product maintains lightweight characteristics while preserving the rigidity of the piping structure.
