Single-bell 90° elbow 42 mm - thin-walled galvanized carbon steel, swaged PC5001 0420000

Application in Press-Fit Systems

This single-bell 90-degree elbow is a key component for creating leak-tight and durable connections in piping installations using press-fit technology. It is designed for joining steel pipes with an outer diameter of 42 mm, making it an ideal solution for heating, water supply, and industrial systems requiring high-pressure resistance. Thanks to its construction from thin-walled carbon steel, this fitting offers strength comparable to traditional threaded solutions, but with significantly faster and cleaner installation.

It is worth noting the specific connection design: one side features a press-fit coupling (ready for installation), while the other has a push-in end (raw state), allowing flexible adaptation to various sections of the installation. The entire assembly is protected against corrosion thanks to electroplated/electrolytic galvanization, which is standard in modern internal installations. A maximum working pressure of 16 bar at 20°C ensures safe operation in most standard hydraulic circuits.

Construction and Key Features

The product is designed as a one-piece component, eliminating the risk of leaks resulting from loose multi-part connections. The presence of a stop collar facilitates precise pipe positioning during pressing, ensuring consistent insertion depth and repeatable connections. The absence of seals within the metal construction itself means that leak-tightness depends solely on proper pressing execution and the quality of the pipe material – a solution typical for B-Press systems, where sealing is achieved through metal deformation.

For installers, the overall length of 87 mm and the 90-degree angle are also important, allowing efficient bypassing of obstacles or changing the pipe direction in tight technical spaces. The material – alloy steel – guarantees the necessary hardness to maintain shape under pressing force, while simultaneously retaining the flexibility required to form a durable connection without cracking.

Application and Operating Conditions

This elbow is primarily suitable for fixed installations requiring high mechanical and chemical resistance. Due to the lack of UL or FM certifications, it should not be used in installations requiring specialized fire safety approvals for specific foreign markets (e.g., USA), but it meets the requirements of standard European installations. This product is dedicated to systems operating with non-aggressive liquids; the absence of EPDM seals within the component itself (although the system seal material is rubber) suggests the necessity of using appropriate pressing heads dedicated to galvanized steel.

Installation requires the use of a dedicated pressing tool (hydraulic or electric press), suitable for both professionals working on construction sites and smaller renovation projects. This solution eliminates the need for threaders or welders, accelerating project completion and removing the risk of damaging the anti-corrosive coating due to high temperatures or sparks. This solution is tailored for 42 mm diameter piping systems, combining installation speed with the durability of a steel construction.
