Electrofusion elbow 90° D160 PE100, SDR11, PN10 gas/PN16 water 753101817

Electrofusion elbow for PE pipes – reliability and durability of connections

This is a 90-degree electrofusion elbow made of high-density polyethylene (PE100) with a nominal diameter of DN125 and an outer diameter of 160 mm. Designed for welding/buttfusion, it provides a tight and durable connection in gas and water installations. Its construction, based on electrofusion technology, guarantees high strength and corrosion resistance.

Construction and application

The elbow is made of PE-100 with an SDR11 dimension ratio, which means an appropriate wall thickness in relation to the pipe diameter. This makes it resistant to working pressure up to 16 bar (PN16 for water and PN10 for gas). The 90-degree bend allows changing the direction of the installation at a right angle. The applications of the electrofusion elbow include:

• Construction of water and gas networks above and below ground.
• Connections in irrigation systems.
• Industrial installations using water or gas media.
• Modernization of existing PE installations.

Key features and benefits

• Durability and tightness: Electrofusion welding creates an inseparable connection, eliminating the risk of leaks.
• Corrosion resistance: Polyethylene is a material resistant to the action of most chemicals, ensuring a long service life of the installation.
• Versatility: Can be used in both gas (PN10) and water (PN16) installations.
• High material quality: PE-100 is a material with high mechanical strength and crack resistance.
• Simple installation: Electrofusion welding is a relatively simple technology, but requires appropriate tools and qualifications.
• Compliance with standards: The product meets the requirements for safety and quality in water and gas installations.
• Low weight: Compared to elbows made of metal, the PE elbow is much lighter, making it easier to transport and install.

The elbow has a surface protection of the connection areas in a raw state – which means no additional protective coatings, typical of some other types of fittings. The Zeta value of 1.2 indicates the flow characteristics of the liquid inside the elbow, which is important in the design of hydraulic installations. The one-piece design simplifies installation and minimizes the risk of leakage at the joint of the fitting components.
