PVC-U socket bend KW/KZ 1/2" 409-005

PVC-U Socket Bend – Reliability and Durability in Your Installation

The PVC-U socket bend is an essential component in water, air conditioning, and industrial installations. It provides a tight and durable connection of pipes, guaranteeing safe liquid transport. Its design, based on the IPS steel pipe dimensioning system, ensures compatibility with existing installations. It is an ideal solution for both professionals and end-users looking for a reliable element for building or modernizing a system.

Properties and Application

This bend is designed to connect pipes at a 90-degree angle, allowing for a change in flow direction. Made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), it is characterized by high resistance to corrosion, scale build-up, and the action of many chemical compounds. It can be used in cold water installations, air conditioning systems, and in industry where resistance to aggressive media is required. The maximum operating temperature is 45°C. Connection is made using aggressive adhesives – the process is quick and simple, and the connection is durable. The outer diameter of the fitting is 21.2 mm.

Why choose a PVC-U socket bend?

• Strength and durability: The PVC-U material guarantees a minimum service life of 50 years, which translates to trouble-free use for a long time.
• Chemical resistance: The bend is resistant to the action of several hundred chemical compounds, making it an ideal choice for a variety of industrial applications.
• Hygiene and safety: The material is physiologically and microbiologically inert, ensuring safety for user health – particularly important in drinking water installations.
• Easy installation: Adhesive bonding is quick and does not require specialized tools or skills. Installation usually takes less than a minute after proper surface preparation.
• Cost-effectiveness: Low weight compared to traditional materials (metal) facilitates transport and installation, reducing labor costs.
• Comfort of use: The smooth inner surface reduces flow resistance, and the vibration and noise damping properties ensure quiet operation of the installation.
• Fire safety: PVC-U does not support the combustion process, increasing safety in the event of a fire.
• Electrical insulation: Prevents galvanic and electrochemical corrosion, particularly important in underground installations.
