Wall elbow with lugs GW Inox - 22 Rp3/4" L = 64 mm 1609285008

Application and Material Construction

This component is a key element in installation systems where a durable connection between a pipe and a wall or other structural element is required. Made from austenitic stainless steel grade 1.4404, the elbow offers high corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice not only for domestic water and heating installations but also in more demanding conditions such as solar installations or compressed air systems. Thanks to this material, the installation maintains an aesthetic appearance for years, which is particularly important in visible mounting locations (surface-mounted).

The fitting has been designed with Press joining technology in mind, eliminating the need for welding or threading. This solution speeds up the installer's work and reduces the risk of human errors during assembly. In the case of this specific model, dimension L is 64 mm, the external pipe diameter is 22 mm, and the external thread is Rp3/4". These dimensions allow for precise adaptation to standard manifolds or wall connections.

Controlled Leak Function and Sealing

One of the most important features of this elbow is the implementation of the LBP (Leak Before Press) function. This is a safety mechanism that allows detection of leaks before the actual pressing of the connection. If the seal is not properly installed or the pipe is not fully inserted, the system will allow a controlled water leak during pressure tests before the final closure of the circuit. This ensures the installer that the connection will be leak-tight only after a successful pressing operation.

The sealing is based on an O-ring type seal, which ensures hermeticity of the connection over a wide range of temperatures and pressures. Reinforced mounting ears facilitate stabilization of the fitting during work and allow its secure attachment to the substrate before pressing.

Construction and Mounting Parameters

The technical details of this model are closely linked to its application in the Inox system. The fitting is intended for pipes with a diameter of 22 mm and features an external thread Rp3/4", corresponding to standard sanitary connections. The total length of the component (L) is 64 mm, which is crucial when planning pipe spacing in the wall or above the ceiling. The construction material is stainless steel 1.4404 – an austenitic grade resistant to corrosion, ideal for water and heating installations. The connection is made by pressing (Press), and the presence of the LBP function and O-ring seal guarantees operational safety and ease of leak control before final tightening of the fitting.
