Question 1

What is the Aquatherm 45Deg PPR Elbow and what is it used for?

Accepted Answer

The Aquatherm 45Deg PPR Elbow is a 20 mm diameter elbow fitting designed to connect two PPR pipes at a 45-degree angle. It’s used to redirect flow in hot or cold water piping systems, making tight turns and retrofits easier in residential or commercial setups. Made from polypropylene random copolymers, it’s built for durable, reliable joints in robust plumbing networks.

Question 2

What are the key specifications of this elbow?

Accepted Answer

Specifications: material — polypropylene random copolymer (PPR); size — 20 mm; angle — 45 degrees; designed for potable water piping; UV-stable and corrosion-resistant; suitable for hot and cold water lines in both residential and commercial settings; intended for quick and secure installation with compatible PPR joining methods.

Question 3

How do I install this elbow?

Accepted Answer

For PPR systems, you typically fuse the elbow to 20 mm PPR pipes using a compatible PPR welding tool, ensuring square cuts and clean deburring. Steps: 1) Cut and deburr the pipe ends squarely. 2) Dry-fit to confirm alignment. 3) Use a PPR fusion tool to heat and join the pipe to the elbow to the recommended insertion depth. 4) Allow the joint to cool and inspect for alignment and leaks. If you use compression fittings instead of fusion, follow the specific fitting instructions and ensure a secure, leak-free connection.

Question 4

Is this elbow compatible with standard 20 mm PPR pipes?

Accepted Answer

Yes. It is designed for standard 20 mm PPR piping used in potable water systems. To ensure a proper fit, verify that your pipe outside diameter matches 20 mm and use compatible joining methods (fusion or approved fittings) as recommended for PPR systems.

Question 5

What are common use cases for the Aquatherm 45Deg PPR Elbow?

Accepted Answer

Typical applications include turning piping around corners in water supply lines, retrofitting existing 20 mm PPR networks, and routing hot or cold water in residential or commercial buildings where a precise 45-degree bend is required to avoid kinks and maintain flow efficiency.

Question 6

What safety and compliance considerations should I know?

Accepted Answer

This elbow is designed for potable water and is UV-stable and corrosion-resistant, supporting safe, long-term water transmission. Use only with compatible PPR piping and joining tools. Follow local codes and standards for potable water installations, and avoid exposing fittings to chemical solvents or incompatible substances.

Question 8

What tools or accessories do I need to install this elbow properly?

Accepted Answer

You’ll typically need a compatible PPR welding tool for fusion joints, along with standard pipe cutting and deburring tools. If you prefer mechanical fittings, use only approved PPR compression fittings designed for 20 mm piping. Have clamps or fixtures handy to hold alignment during joining and perform a leak test after installation.

Question 9

What is the return option and value for this item?

Accepted Answer

If you find the Aquatherm 45Deg PPR Elbow unsuitable, you can explore the return option provided by Fepy within the stated return window for unused items in original condition. This allows you to assess value after purchase and swap or refund as per the store’s policy.

Question 10

How can I verify that this elbow will fit my existing setup and avoid leaks?

Accepted Answer

First confirm the pipe size is 20 mm. Then verify the connection method (fusion vs. compression) supported by your existing system. After installation, perform a pressure or water-leak test to ensure all joints are watertight. Proper insertion depth and clean, deburred pipe ends are essential for reliable leaks-free performance.

Question 11

What’s the difference between a 45-degree elbow and other angles, like 90 degrees?

Accepted Answer

A 45-degree elbow provides a gradual bend, reducing potential pressure losses and allowing smoother flow around corners, which is useful in tight spaces. A 90-degree elbow creates a sharper change in direction and is used when space constraints require a right-angle turn. Choose the angle based on your layout, space, and flow requirements.
