Female/Female Brass Elbow

Female/Female Brass Elbow (Reference: 2090) - This elbow fitting represents the ideal solution for all your right-angle connection needs in general plumbing installations. Manufactured to the most demanding standards, it combines the robustness of brass with precision machining to ensure reliable and durable connections. Its female/female design allows perfect adaptation with different elements of your installation.

Applications and fields of use

The Female/Female Elbow 2090 finds its place in numerous general plumbing applications. It is particularly valued for domestic installations, cold and hot water networks, as well as light industrial applications. This fitting proves indispensable when you need to change the direction of a pipe by 90 degrees while maintaining the same bore diameter.

Plumbing professionals frequently use it for under-sink connections, heating installations, low-pressure pneumatic networks, and professional irrigation systems. Its compatibility with the ISO 228-1 standard makes it a universal choice for most common applications.

Technical specifications and materials

This elbow is made from forged and machined brass, guaranteeing exceptional mechanical strength and remarkable longevity. The manufacturing process of forging followed by precision machining ensures consistent quality and tight tolerances. An alternative is possible with a turned part fitting depending on the required specifications.

The "G" ISO 228-1 (BSPP) gas connection complies with international standards to ensure maximum compatibility with other elements of your installation. The nominal pressure PN 10 Bar allows its use in the majority of domestic and semi-professional applications. The brass chosen offers excellent resistance to corrosion and temperature variations.

Installation and implementation

Installing the female/female elbow 2090 requires careful preparation of the contact surfaces. Thoroughly clean the threads before assembly to remove any impurities that could compromise the seal. Check the condition of the threads and the absence of deformations.

For sealing, several options are available depending on the application: PTFE tape for common applications, elastomer seals for high temperatures, fibre gaskets for specific applications, or sealing compound for permanent connections. The choice of sealing system also determines the maximum operating temperature.

Use appropriate wrenches and tighten progressively without excessive force to preserve the integrity of the thread. An appropriate tightening torque ensures a seal without damaging the fitting.

Expert tips and optimisation

To maximise the lifespan of your installation, combine this elbow with other brass fittings from the Multitanks range. Material compatibility avoids galvanic corrosion issues and ensures consistent performance across the entire network.

When designing your installation, favour the largest possible bend radii to minimise pressure losses. If multiple direction changes are required, spread them out rather than multiplying 90° elbows. Consider using complementary branch tees or reducing sockets to optimise your network.

Beware of common mistakes: avoid over-applying sealant which could partially block the passage, and never mix different types of seals on the same installation. For seasonal applications such as irrigation, remember to drain the circuits before frost to protect your fittings.
