90° Compression Elbow for PE Tube | Polypropylene Fitting

The 90° compression elbow for PE pipe is an essential corner union fitting for achieving clean and safe changes of direction in your hydraulic networks. Made of high-density polypropylene, this fitting allows two polyethylene tubes of identical diameter to be connected at a perfect 90° angle. It is the ideal solution for getting around obstacles, structuring complex irrigation networks or organizing pipe drains in tight spaces.

Smooth installation: Lubricated and captive seal

This elbow has been engineered to simplify assembly, especially in hard-to-reach areas such as manholes or narrow trenches. It incorporates state-of-the-art technologies to ensure quick installation:

• Lubricated Seal : This feature allows for effortless insertion of PE tubing, reducing friction and avoiding any risk of pinching the seal during assembly.
• Captive Design : The gasket remains perfectly housed in the fitting body during handling, eliminating any risk of accidental loss at the bottom of the dig or misalignment.

Clamping ergonomics and reinforced mechanical resistance

Tightening this elbow is made much easier by its ergonomic high-strength nut . Its specific geometry provides an optimal grip for efficient manual tightening, which can be finalized with a suitable wrench to ensure maximum compression. This design ensures that the ring is evenly locked onto the PE tube, creating a bond that can withstand hydraulic shocks, vibrations, and pressure ratings over the long term.

Concrete application cases and versatility

In a specific case of an automatic sprinkler installation, this elbow allows the PE tube to be cleanly raised to a turbine or sprinkler at the outlet of the network. For example, it is the ideal accessory for structuring the corners of a swimming pool or geothermal networks where the rigidity of PE pipe requires a robust corner fitting. Its polypropylene construction gives it total immunity to corrosion and excellent resistance to UV rays for surface installations.

Reduced maintenance and durability of polypropylene

Opting for this compression elbow means choosing a durable solution that requires no maintenance after commissioning. The absence of metal components prevents scaling or rusting at the point of curvature, ensuring a constant flow without unnecessary pressure drop. Its proven reliability makes it a valuable ally for drinking water supply and intensive irrigation, guaranteeing constant sealing even in the face of seasonal freeze-thaw cycles.
