PVC-U elbow KW/KW 1 1/2" 406-015

PVC-U Elbow – Reliability and Durability in Installations

This elbow made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) is a connecting element for pipes at a 90-degree angle, designed for the construction of water, air conditioning and industrial installations. It is characterized by high resistance to corrosion and the action of many chemical compounds, which guarantees long-lasting and trouble-free operation. Made of PVC, it provides a reliable connection in a glued system.

Construction and Application

The elbow with a diameter of 1 1/2 inches (48.1 mm outer diameter) is manufactured in the dimensional system of steel pipes IPS. This means that its dimensions are consistent with the standards used for steel installations, which facilitates the modernization of existing systems. Designed to operate at a maximum temperature of 45°C and a working pressure depending on the temperature (up to 4.14 kPa at +23°C for the Sch 40 series). Connection is made using aggressive adhesives – this process is quick and safe, and the execution time does not exceed one minute. Additionally, the possibility of connection with threaded and flanged elements expands the scope of applications.

Key Features and Benefits

• Durability for years: PVC-U material ensures the durability of the installation for at least 50 years.
• Protection against deposits: Smooth inner surface minimizes the deposition of scale and dirt, maintaining a high flow rate.
• Chemical resistance: The elbow is resistant to the action of several hundred chemical compounds, making it an ideal solution for industrial installations.
• Safety for health: The material is physiologically and microbiologically inert, guaranteeing the safety of drinking water.
• Quick installation: Adhesive bonding is simple, fast and does not require specialized tools or electricity.
• Quiet operation: Vibration and noise damping properties ensure comfortable use.
• Lightweight construction: Compared to traditional materials (metal), PVC is several times lighter, making it easier to transport and install.
• Flow efficiency: The fitting design minimizes local flow resistance, allowing for a full flow cross-section of the medium.
• Thermal insulation: High thermal insulation reduces heat loss and prevents condensation of water vapor on cold water pipes.
• Fire safety: PVC does not support the combustion process, increasing the safety of the installation.
• Electrical insulation: No galvanic or electrochemical corrosion – particularly important in installations laid in the ground.
• Aesthetics: PVC-U pipes are rigid, which affects the aesthetics of the installation
