Elbow GW K5 C/Z water PN10 16/ 1/2" X90 3079782

Elbow with thread for water installations

This is an elbow with an internal thread, designed to connect pipes of different diameters in water installations. Made of polyphenylene sulfone (PPSU), it ensures durability and corrosion resistance. Its construction allows changing the direction of water flow by 90 degrees, and the compression fitting connection with an internal thread facilitates assembly and disassembly.

Construction and application

The K5 elbow is characterized by a compression fitting connection with a diameter of 16 mm and a cylindrical BSPP-G 1/2 inch internal gas thread. This connection arrangement is particularly useful when connecting elements made of different materials or in situations where flexibility in component selection is required. Thanks to the use of ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EDPM) rubber seals, it ensures a tight connection. The elbow has a support collar that increases stability and prevents the pipe from moving inside the fitting.

Key features and benefits

• Durable material: Made of PPSU, which guarantees resistance to mechanical and chemical damage.
• Tightness: EDPM seals provide reliable sealing of the connection, minimizing the risk of leaks.
• Versatility: Possibility of connecting pipes of different diameters thanks to the reducing design (16 mm / 1/2 inch).
• Easy installation: The combination of a compression fitting and an internal thread facilitates and speeds up the installation process.
• Quality certificates: It has the DVGW quality mark for water and the KIWA certificate, confirming compliance with safety and quality standards.
• Leak detection: Wavin Tigris K5 fittings have an innovative acoustic leak detection function – an uncompressed fitting signals its presence with a loud whistle. This makes the installer's job easier and minimizes the risk of errors.
• Pressure resistance: The maximum working pressure is 10 bar, allowing use in most standard water installations.
• Wide temperature range: Continuous operation in the temperature range from 0 to 70°C ensures the possibility of use in various environmental conditions.

Additional information: The elbow has a wrench size of 34 mm and a length of 83 mm. The connection material is polyphenylene sulfone (PPSU). The one-piece construction ensures simplicity and reliability of operation.
