90° Equal Elbow Brass Series 7000 PN16 | PE compression fitting

The 7000 Series 90° Equal Brass Elbow is the high-end junction fitting designed for polyethylene (HDPE) pipe networks requiring maximum strength. Made of high-quality brass, this mechanical compression fitting allows for perpendicular changes of direction with rock-solid reliability. Its reinforced design allows it to withstand a pressure rating of 16 bar (PN16), providing a durable metal alternative to plastic fittings for buried or exposed installations.

The superiority of brass for water supply

The choice of brass for this 7000 series elbow guarantees exceptional mechanical resistance to ground stresses, such as ground movements or temperature variations. Unlike polymeric materials, brass offers increased longevity and natural protection against permeation. This connection is particularly recommended for main water inlets, drinking water supply networks and all areas where the piping is subject to constant pressure or the risk of external shocks.

A high-security external clamping system

This elbow features external compression clamping technology that makes it easy to install without the need for welding or threading the PE tube. The mechanism rests on a metal cramping ring that firmly bites the tube when the brass nut is screwed in. This device ensures superior pull-out strength and a perfect seal thanks to its high-performance internal seal. The implementation is fast and secure, guaranteeing an unbreakable junction even on high-speed networks.

Versatility and areas of application

Thanks to its certification for drinking water and its robustness, this elbow fitting is omnipresent in municipal networks, pumping and professional irrigation installations. It can be used to structure water meter outlets, to connect borehole pumps or to make clean diversions on civil engineering sites. Its compatibility with PE80 and PE100 pipes makes it a standard for professionals who refuse to compromise on the solidity of their hydraulic infrastructure.

Technical characteristics

Installation and maintenance tips

To install this brass elbow, simply cut the PE tube squarely and deburr the edges to make it easier to pass through the joint. Once the tube is inserted to the stop, tightening the brass nut compresses the cramping ring onto the tube. For large diameters, the use of a suitable tightening wrench is recommended to achieve the optimal torque. Once installed, this fitting does not require any special maintenance and is perfectly resistant to corrosion in wet environments.
