PVC-U socket bend with thread 1" 409-010

PVC-U Elbow 1" – Reliability and Durability in Your Installation

This threaded elbow made of PVC-U, with a diameter of 1 inch, is a key element in water, air conditioning, and industrial installations. The fitting is designed to connect pipes at a 90-degree angle, providing a change in flow direction. Manufactured by the renowned Nibco, it guarantees high quality and long-lasting reliability.

The elbow features an internal (F) and external (M) thread connection, increasing its versatility and allowing easy adaptation to various installation systems. Installation is done using aggressive adhesives, ensuring a tight and durable connection in a short time – usually less than a minute, depending on the ambient temperature.

Properties and Application

This fitting is perfect for cold water installations, air conditioning, and systems transporting various chemical compounds. The PVC-U material provides resistance to corrosion, scale build-up, and the action of many chemicals. Additionally, this material is physiologically and microbiologically inert, making it safe for potable water installations.

• Wide temperature range: Trouble-free operation up to a maximum temperature of 45°C.
• Pressure resistance: Ensures safe operation at a working pressure dependent on temperature (e.g., 3.1 bar for 1" at +23°C).
• Versatility: Possibility of connection with other installation systems thanks to threaded and flanged elements.
• Durability: PVC-U material guarantees a service life of the installation of at least 50 years.
• Light weight: Compared to traditional materials (steel, copper), the PVC-U elbow is much lighter, making installation easier.

Construction and Installation – for Professionals and DIY Enthusiasts

Installing the PVC-U threaded elbow is simple and quick, requiring only the use of an aggressive adhesive designed for PVC. The adhesive ensures a tight connection without the need for specialized tools or electricity. The smooth inner surface of the fitting minimizes flow resistance, and the precise construction reduces local hydraulic resistance. This ensures that the flow takes place through the full cross-section of the pipe, which translates to system efficiency. The elbow is rigid, providing an aesthetic look to the installation.
