Question 1

What is the Atlas UPVC Elbow 90° 82mm and what is its primary function?

Accepted Answer

The Atlas UPVC Elbow 90° 82mm is a rigid UPVC fitting that provides a 90-degree bend for soil, waste, and vent (SWV) piping. It changes the direction of flow in drainage systems, is suited for both residential and commercial use, and supports fast, airtight connections through push-fit or solvent-weld options.

Question 2

What are the key specifications and features of this elbow?

Accepted Answer

Key specs include: durable UPVC construction for long life; a 90-degree bend for directional changes; corrosion resistance; leak-proof seal for reliable connections; smooth flow design to minimize friction; UV protection for outdoor durability; easy installation with lightweight handling; and versatile use for SWV piping in both residential and commercial settings.

Question 3

What connections does it support and what pipes is it compatible with?

Accepted Answer

This elbow supports both push-fit and solvent-weld connections, enabling quick, airtight assembly. It is designed for 82mm diameter UPVC SWV piping, so it pairs with 82mm UPVC pipes and fittings in the same system.

Question 4

In what use cases is this elbow most appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Ideal for changing direction in tight spaces within SWV drainage systems, including high-rise buildings and villas. It’s suitable for indoor and outdoor installations where chemical resistance and leak-free performance are important.

Question 5

How do I install the elbow correctly?

Accepted Answer

For push-fit: ensure pipe ends are clean and deburred, insert the pipe fully into the socket with a firm push until it seats and clicks. For solvent-weld: clean and prime the pipe and socket, apply solvent cement per product instructions, then insert and hold until the joint cures. Always follow standard safety practices and allow solvent cement to cure as recommended by the adhesive manufacturer.

Question 6

Can this elbow be used outdoors, and how does its UV protection help?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the elbow is UV-stabilized to withstand outdoor exposure. The UV protection helps prevent material degradation from sunlight, contributing to longer service life in exterior installations.

Question 7

How does this elbow compare to other fittings with the same diameter on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

When comparing, consider flow efficiency, material durability, and ease of installation. For similar diameters, you can also explore: Atlas UPVC Elbow 90deg 75mm (https://fepy.com/product/atlas-upvc-elbow-90deg-75mm), Atlas UPVC Elbow 90deg 110mm (https://fepy.com/product/atlas-upvc-elbow-90deg-110mm), and Atlas UPVC Tee 82mm (https://fepy.com/product/atlas-upvc-tee-82mm). These options provide alternatives in diameter or fitting type while using the same UPVC material and connection methods.

Question 8

What safety and compliance considerations should I keep in mind when using UPVC fittings like this?

Accepted Answer

Follow standard plumbing safety practices: wear protective eyewear when cutting or cementing, work in a well-ventilated area when using solvents, ensure proper support and alignment to prevent stress on joints, and use the correct solvent cement or push-fit components as specified for UPVC systems.

Question 9

How do I determine if this 82mm elbow is the right size for my project?

Accepted Answer

Measure the pipe diameter you are joining. This elbow is designed for 82mm UPVC pipes. Confirm the external diameter (or socket size) of your existing pipe and ensure it matches the 82mm fitting to achieve a proper, leak-free connection.

Question 10

What makes UPVC a good choice for SWV drainage compared with alternatives?

Accepted Answer

UPVC offers rigid construction, excellent chemical resistance, and corrosion resistance, along with a smooth interior that minimizes friction and head loss. The combination of leak-proof sockets and optional push-fit or solvent-weld connections makes it a reliable, long-lasting choice for soil, waste, and vent piping.

Question 11

How does the 90° bend impact system performance and when should I choose it over other angles?

Accepted Answer

A 90° bend is ideal for changing direction in tight spaces and optimizing routing in SWV networks. If your layout requires a sharp directional change without compromising flow, this 82mm 90° elbow provides a compact, efficient solution with a smooth radius to minimize resistance and potential blockages.

Question 12

What practical factors should I consider to maximize value when choosing this elbow over alternatives?

Accepted Answer

Consider diameter compatibility (82mm), connection method (push-fit or solvent-weld), site exposure (UV considerations for outdoor use), and installation time. The elbow’s durable UPVC material, leak-proof design, and smooth interior help reduce long-term maintenance while speeding up installation in both new builds and retrofits.
