90° Female/Female BSP Elbow

The 90° Female/Female BSP Polyethylene Elbow (Reference: 5290) represents the ideal technical solution for all your right-angle connections in piping systems. Manufactured by Multitanks according to the most demanding quality standards, this professional elbow combines robustness, durability and ease of installation to meet the needs of both individuals and plumbing and irrigation professionals.

Applications and advantages of the 90° BSP elbow

This polyethylene elbow finds its place in many configurations: automatic sprinkler systems, domestic plumbing installations, industrial water distribution networks, IBC tank connections, and agricultural hydraulic circuits. Its 90° design allows you to bypass obstacles, change flow direction, and optimize available space in your technical installations.

The BSP female threads guarantee universal compatibility with all standard fittings on the European market. The high-density polyethylene used perfectly resists temperature variations (-20°C to +60°C), UV rays, and chemicals commonly carried in domestic and professional piping.

Technical specifications and materials

Manufactured in high-density polyethylene (HDPE), this elbow benefits from exceptional corrosion resistance, unlike traditional metal fittings. The polyethylene material offers excellent long-term performance, even in permanent contact with moisture or outdoor exposure.

The BSP (British Standard Pipe) thread complies with ISO 228-1 standard, guaranteeing a tight and reliable connection with all standardized equipment. The optimized internal geometry minimizes pressure losses while maintaining optimal flow through the elbow.

Its one-piece construction eliminates weak points and ensures perfect sealing under pressure. The smooth internal surface prevents deposit accumulation and facilitates installation maintenance.

Installation and practical implementation

Installation of this BSP elbow is carried out by manual screwing followed by wrench tightening if necessary. Always use a teflon seal or sealing paste on the male threads of elements to be connected to guarantee perfect sealing.

During assembly, respect the recommended tightening torque to avoid deformation of the polyethylene thread. Excessive tightening could compromise sealing, while insufficient tightening could cause leaks.

For outdoor installations, although polyethylene resists UV rays, it is advisable to protect the fittings in inspection chambers or technical boxes to optimize their service life. In case of frost, the flexibility of polyethylene offers better resistance to bursting than rigid materials.
