Coude à douille unique 45° 22 mm - acier au carbone galvanisé, paroi mince, sertie PC5040 0220000

Application and Characteristics of the 45-Degree Elbow

This fitting, belonging to the group of sanitary and industrial piping components, is designed to change the direction of a pipeline by 45 degrees, enabling smooth bypassing of obstacles or adapting the installation route to specific building requirements. Made from thin carbon steel, it is intended exclusively for systems joined using the pressing method (press). This eliminates the need for open flame, welding, or specialized cutting tools; only a hydraulic or pneumatic press is required. This joining method guarantees the tightness and durability of the circuit, eliminating the risk of leaks caused by human error in traditional joining techniques.

Construction and Resistance to Operating Conditions

A key feature of this model is its single-sleeve construction, ensuring precise fit for pipes with an outer diameter of 22 mm. Both sides of the fitting have identical diameters, meaning it is a straight component, not a reducer. The steel surface has undergone electrolytic galvanization, significantly increasing corrosion resistance in environments with moderate humidity. However, it should be noted that this material does not hold certifications for fire protection installations (such as UL or FM); therefore, its application is limited to standard water, heating, or ventilation systems.

This component withstands a maximum working pressure of 16 bar at a temperature of 20°C. This parameter is typical for many internal installations, but when designing systems with higher operating parameters, verification of thermal and pressure conditions will be necessary. The fitting does not include gaskets or additional elements such as drain valves or air vents; its function is strictly limited to changing the flow direction of the medium within the pipe.

Dimensions and Mounting Features

Thanks to its compact dimensions – with a total length of only 34 mm – the fitting occupies minimal space in distribution cabinets or along complex pipe routes. The presence of a stop flange in the construction facilitates pipe centering during pressing, accelerating the installer's work and reducing the risk of joining errors. This solution is dedicated to systems where rapid installation and cleanliness of construction work, without the need for heat sources, are priorities.

When selecting this component, its specific characteristics should be considered: the elbow angle is 45°, promoting smooth flow direction changes without sharp bends. The fitting is intended for pipes with an outer diameter of 22 mm on both sides, excluding its use as a reducer. The material is alloy steel protected by an electrolytically galvanized coating, ensuring corrosion protection under typical operating conditions. The maximum working pressure is 16 bar at 20°C, and the connection is made using the pressing method (crimped coupling/press-fit end) with an appropriate mounting press. It should be noted that the product does not hold UL, FM, ULC, or LPCB certifications, indicating its suitability for general installations rather than fire protection systems.
