PPR Elbow 45° f/f

The PPR 45 degree elbow f/f from the Eternal line changes the direction of a PP-R line by 45° and has a female socket on each end for socket fusion onto the pipe. It is rated PN25 to EN ISO 15874-3 for hot and cold water systems, in sizes Ø20 to Ø63.

The PPR 45 degree elbow f/f is a socket fusion fitting from the THERMALINO Eternal line. It turns a PP-R pipeline through 45° and is used in pairs to offset a line, for example to take a pipe over or around another pipe that crosses its path where there is no room for a bend. Because both ends are female sockets, the pipe is welded straight into each side with no threads or seals. The elbow is made from prime-grade PP-R, a polypropylene random copolymer (type 3), and conforms to EN ISO 15874-3, the standard for polypropylene fittings in hot and cold water installations. It is rated PN25, with an operating temperature of 70 °C and a maximum of 95 °C. That rating covers both domestic hot and cold water and heating circuits. It welds cleanly onto THERMALINO PP-R pipe, so the joint and the pipe become one homogeneous material for a long service life. Pressure ratings at other temperatures and the service life tables are in the technical data sheet. The fitting is joined by socket fusion. Cut the pipe square, clean it, mark the socket depth, then heat the pipe end and the elbow socket together on a fusion welder with the right size of heating bush. Push the pipe in straight, without twisting, and hold it still while the joint cools. It comes in Ø20, Ø25, Ø32, Ø40, Ø50 and Ø63, in white, grey and green, so it can match the colour of the pipe line on site.
