Question 1

What is the Atlas PVC Elbow 90 Degree and what is it used for?

Accepted Answer

The Atlas PVC Elbow 90 Degree is a plastic pipe fitting with a 90-degree bend designed to connect two PVC pipes. It helps create a right-angle turn in plumbing layouts and is suitable for applications like pools, water features, and outdoor projects where a secure plastic connection is needed.

Question 2

What material is this elbow made from, and is it suitable for outdoor use?

Accepted Answer

It’s constructed from durable PVC material. This makes it appropriate for residential and commercial outdoor plumbing applications such as pools and water features. Always ensure the chemical compatibility of PVC with your fluids and protection from harsh UV exposure if your setup is in direct sun over long periods.

Question 3

What are the key specifications and compatible pipe sizes?

Accepted Answer

This elbow provides a 90-degree turn and features a threaded design for secure connections. It is intended for standard plastic piping and is sold per piece. To ensure a proper fit, verify the pipe size and thread type matches your system and use the appropriate fittings and sealants for a leak-free connection.

Question 4

How do I install the Atlas PVC Elbow 90 Degree?

Accepted Answer

For threaded connections, apply PTFE tape (or appropriate pipe thread sealant) to the male threads, thread the elbow onto the mating connection, and tighten by hand first, then snug with a wrench. If you’re using slip/socket connections, ensure the pipe ends are clean, dry, and cut square and use the recommended adhesive or solvent-wusing method per your system requirements. Always test the assembly for leaks after installation.

Question 5

What are common applications for this elbow?

Accepted Answer

Common uses include pools, water features, irrigation lines, and other outdoor plumbing where you need to change direction in a PVC piping run without sacrificing a strong, leak-resistant joint.

Question 6

Threaded elbow vs slip elbow—how do they differ and which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Threaded elbows screw onto male threads for a secure, leak-resistant joint that is easier to disassemble. Slip (socket) elbows rely on solvent cement or adhesive to join pipes and are common for permanent installations. For high-pressure or outdoor setups where you may need to disassemble, a threaded elbow is often a better choice.

Question 7

What safety considerations should I follow when using this PVC elbow?

Accepted Answer

Depressurize the system before installation, wear appropriate eye and hand protection, and follow standard plumbing safety practices. Use compatible sealants and tools, avoid forcing fittings, and ensure connections are clean and dry to prevent leaks or damage.

Question 8

How does it perform under high-pressure water systems?

Accepted Answer

This elbow is described as a high-pressure-capable PVC fitting. To achieve reliable performance, match it with the correct size and thread type, use appropriate sealants, and perform a leak test after installation to confirm integrity under system pressure.

Question 9

What maintenance or care is recommended to extend its life?

Accepted Answer

Regularly inspect the elbow for cracks, wear, or signs of leakage. Clean fittings to remove debris, avoid mechanical damage, and replace any damaged components promptly. For outdoor use, protect from prolonged sun exposure when possible and ensure chemical compatibility with pool or feature fluids.

Question 10

Which factors should I consider when selecting this elbow for a pool or water feature?

Accepted Answer

Consider the connection type (threaded vs slip), pipe size compatibility, the required angle (90 degrees in this case), and the system’s chemical environment. Ensure the fitting is rated for your pool or feature’s chemical exposure and that you choose the right size and threading for a secure, leak-free connection.

Is this elbow compatible with potable water systems?

Accepted Answer

PVC fittings are commonly used with potable water, but you should verify the product specs and any local code certifications for potable use. Check the product page or contact Fepy support to confirm potable-water compatibility and required certifications for your installation.
