Elbow male thread K5 C/Z water PN10 16/ 1/2" X90 3079776

Elbow with external thread for water installations

This elbow with an external thread is designed for connecting pipes in water installations. Made of high-quality polyphenylene sulfone (PPSU), it ensures durability and reliability of connections. Its construction, based on the Wavin Tigris K5 system, combines proven functionality with innovative solutions, such as acoustic leak detection.

Construction and application

The elbow connects a 16 mm pipe with a 1/2 inch external thread. The 90-degree bending angle allows for a compact and aesthetic change in the direction of the installation. The use of EPDM rubber seals guarantees a leak-proof connection, and compliance with PN10 standard ensures safe operation at a pressure of up to 10 bar. The elbow is reducing, allowing connection of elements with different diameters.

Key features and benefits

• Durable material: Polyphenylene sulfone (PPSU) is characterized by high resistance to mechanical and chemical damage, which translates into a long service life of the elbow.
• Tightness: EPDM seals provide reliable sealing, eliminating the risk of water leaks.
• Easy installation: The external thread facilitates quick and precise connection with other installation elements.
• Acoustic leak detection (only in the Wavin Tigris K5 system): An innovative function signals uncompressed connections with a loud whistle, making it easier to locate the problem and minimizing water losses. This is particularly useful when checking the correctness of the completed installation.
• DVGW quality mark: The DVGW certificate confirms the elbow's compliance with strict safety and quality standards for water installations.
• Versatility: Suitable for use in Wavin Tigris systems and other water installations requiring threaded connections with the specified parameters.
• Pressure resistance: The maximum working pressure is 10 bar, ensuring safe operation under typical conditions.
• Wrench size: 22 mm facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the elbow with standard tools.

The GZ K5 elbow is a solid installation element that will work well both in new buildings and during the modernization of existing water systems. Its durability, tightness and ease of installation make it a reliable choice for professionals and demanding end users.
