45° elbow with SC 18 stainless steel - stainless / polished, model 2326 Sanpress 435783

45° Elbow with Press Fittings, Made of Stainless Steel 316 (1.4401)

This elbow is manufactured from high-quality stainless steel 316 – corrosion-resistant, ideal for water supply, heating, and industrial installations requiring long-term durability in aggressive environments. Both ends feature identical press fittings designed for use with stainless steel pipes with an outer diameter of 18 mm. Installation is performed using a standard pressing tool – no welding, gluing, or threading is required.

The seals are made of EPDM (ethylene-propylene-diene), ensuring tightness even under temperature and pressure fluctuations. This material complies with drinking water standards and offers chemical resistance, making it safe for use in potable water distribution systems.

The 45° elbow angle enables smooth flow direction changes without abrupt dynamic shifts – reducing flow resistance and minimizing the risk of pipe wall erosion at high velocities. The maximum working pressure of 16 bar at 20°C indicates suitability for both residential and commercial systems – there is no need to select more "premium" solutions solely due to higher system pressure.

Installation is straightforward: after inserting the pipe into the fitting and pressing with the tool, the connection is immediately secure and leak-tight. No post-installation pressure testing is required to verify tightness – the Sanpress Inox system features built-in visual control: if the connection is not properly pressed, it cannot be permanently closed.

Dimensions are precise: each fitting length is 29 mm – meaning no additional clearance is needed during installation, eliminating the risk of exceeding allowable spacing between connections. The elbow has no drain valve or air vent – it is a pure flow component, facilitating integration into any system.

It operates reliably in heating, water supply, compressed air, and fire protection systems. No additional anti-corrosion protection is required – stainless steel 316 performs effectively even in humid or saline environments. In residential and commercial construction, it is one of the most reliable components for professionals seeking to avoid failures caused by substandard materials.
