U-shaped wall elbow 16-Rp1/2" FT-16 Uponor S-Press Plus 1070629

Robust wall elbow for Uponor S-Press Plus systems

This U-shaped elbow is designed to create connections in water and heating installations made of Uponor S-Press Plus multilayer pipes. Made of dezincification-resistant brass (DZR), it ensures durability and corrosion resistance, which is crucial in demanding operating conditions. A 1/2 inch connection thread allows for easy connection to other installation elements.

Design and features facilitating assembly

The elbow has a crimp sleeve, which, in combination with the S-Press Plus system, guarantees quick and secure assembly without the need for complex tools. The steel crimp sleeve with inspection hole and the precisely matched crimp jaw ensure a reliable connection. Additionally, the presence of a crimp execution indicator allows for easy verification of correct assembly – this is particularly important for installers who need to be sure of the quality of their work. A leak test indicator further increases comfort and allows for quick detection of any leaks.

Advantages for professionals and end users

• Durability and reliability: DZR brass provides corrosion resistance and long life, minimizing the risk of failure and costly repairs.
• Fast installation: The S-Press Plus system significantly speeds up the installation process, resulting in time and labor cost savings.
• Connection safety: The crimp connection guarantees a tight and secure connection, eliminating the risk of leaks.
• Easy quality control: Indicators of correct crimping and leak testing allow for quick verification of correct assembly.
• Compatibility: Fully compatible with existing Uponor S-Press Plus components, making it easier to modernize installations.
• Access to product data: QR code enables quick access to technical information and installation instructions using a smartphone or tablet.

The elbow is characterized by a connection length of 56 mm and a working length of 36 mm (for two connections) and 8 mm for the third (threaded connection). The maximum working pressure is 10 bar at 20°C, ensuring safe operation under standard operating conditions. The handle depth is 43 mm, making it easier to install in tight spaces. Tinning of the surface further protects against corrosion.
