45° Male/Female Elbow or Reduced 45° Female/Female Solvent Weld Elbow

45° Male/Female Elbow or Reduced 45° Female/Female Solvent Weld Elbow (Reference: 5043) - This Codital PVC-U fitting is a benchmark technical solution for all your piping systems. Designed to the most demanding industry standards, it guarantees optimal performance across a wide range of professional and domestic applications.

Applications and Benefits

This 45° elbow fits seamlessly into an impressive variety of installations: drinking water supply, agricultural irrigation systems, automatic sprinkler networks, swimming pool circuits, and even in the chemical and food industries. Its versatility makes it the ideal partner for plumbers, installers, farmers and demanding homeowners alike.

The 45° angle allows for a smooth and efficient flow redirection, considerably minimising hydraulic resistance and pressure losses compared to 90° elbows. This technical characteristic translates into energy optimisation of your pumping systems and better pressure retention in long networks.

Material and Technical Specifications

Manufactured in PVC-U (Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride), this fitting benefits from all the exceptional qualities of this material: remarkable robustness, proven durability, superior chemical resistance and dimensional stability. PVC-U resists corrosion, UV rays and thermal variations perfectly, guaranteeing exceptional longevity for your installations.

Available in 50 and 63mm diameters, this elbow integrates perfectly into your existing configurations. The PN16 classification certifies its capacity to withstand a nominal pressure of 16 bar at 20°C, offering a comfortable safety margin for most domestic and industrial applications. The Male/Female and Female/Female configurations allow precise adaptation to all types of connections.

Installation and Assembly

Installation by solvent welding in compliance with European standard EN 1452 guarantees a perfect seal and long-term structural integrity. This assembly method creates a definitive molecular bond between the components, offering superior mechanical resistance to pressure and temperature stresses.

Before bonding, it is essential to clean and degrease the contact surfaces thoroughly. Using a specialised PVC adhesive and an appropriate primer optimises the quality of the assembly. The rapid setting time allows commissioning within short timeframes, minimising service interruptions.

For maintenance, PVC-U requires no special treatment. A simple periodic cleaning of the external surfaces is sufficient to maintain the aesthetic and functionality of the fitting.

Expert Tips and Product Synergies

To optimise your installations, combine this elbow with PN16 PVC pipes and the specialised PVC adhesives available in our range. This combination ensures perfect material homogeneity and optimal performance.

In irrigation systems, prioritise the installation of shut-off valves upstream to facilitate maintenance. For buried networks, protection with a technical sleeve extends the service life and facilitates future interventions.

Seasonal tip: In regions subject to frost, install this elbow at a sufficient depth (minimum 60cm) or provide a drainage system to avoid the risk of rupture caused by ice expansion.

For professionals in the food sector, this fitting meets strict sanitary requirements thanks to its smooth, non-porous surface which limits bacterial proliferation.
