Female 90-degree compression elbow BSP

The 90° Female Compression Elbow is a technical polypropylene angle fitting, designed to ensure a precise and secure change of direction, while allowing transition to a male threaded element. This adapter elbow connects a polyethylene (PE) pipe to threaded equipment at a perfect 90° angle, optimizing the space and configuration of your hydraulic networks. Its high-density structure is ideal for irrigation systems, drinking water supplies and residential pumping installations.

Smooth installation: lubricated, captive joint

This elbow has been engineered to simplify installation in areas of restricted access, such as valve manholes or trench corners. It incorporates cutting-edge technologies to ensure rapid installation:

• Lubricated joint: Facilitates PE pipe insertion by reducing friction, preventing pinching or tearing of the joint during assembly.
• Captive design: The seal remains perfectly housed in the fitting body during handling, eliminating any risk of accidental loss at the bottom of the pit.
• BSP standard: Its female thread complies with the British Standard Pipe, ensuring universal compatibility with valves and pump outlets.

Ergonomic tightening and enhanced mechanical strength

The ergonomic, high-strength nut makes tightening this elbow adapter much easier. Its specific geometry provides an optimum grip for efficient manual tightening, which can be complemented by a suitable wrench for maximum compression. This design ensures even locking of the ring to the PE pipe, creating a connection capable of withstanding hydraulic shocks, vibrations and pressure variations over the long term.

Practical applications and versatility

In the case of an automatic sprinkler system, this elbow can be used to connect a solenoid valve located in a manhole wall directly to the main PE pipe at an angle of its own. For example, it's the ideal accessory for installing a drain valve or pressure sensor at the end of the network. Its polypropylene construction ensures total immunity to corrosion, and excellent resistance to UV rays for those parts of the installation that remain above ground.

Reduced maintenance and polypropylene durability

Opting for this compression fitting means choosing a durable solution that requires no maintenance after commissioning. The absence of metal components prevents any scaling or rusting at the bending point, ensuring constant flow. Its proven reliability makes it an invaluable ally for geothermal networks, pool filtration systems or intensive irrigation circuits, guaranteeing constant tightness even in the face of freeze-thaw cycles.
