Question 2

What are the key specifications of this elbow?

Accepted Answer

Material: UPVC; Angle: 45 degrees; Maximum working temperature: 140°F per piece; Compatibility: fits standard UPVC piping; Lightweight yet durable with corrosion and chemical resistance; designed to minimize leakage and improve flow efficiency.

Question 3

What pipe sizes does it fit?

Accepted Answer

The elbow is designed to fit standard UPVC piping sizes. For an exact nominal size, check the product listing or compare the fitting’s dimensions to your pipe OD, since UPVC fittings are typically sized to match common pipe diameters.

Accepted Answer

Cut the pipe square, dry-fit the elbow, then clean the pipe ends. Apply a compatible UPVC solvent cement and primer per local codes, insert the pipe into the elbow, and hold for the joint to set. Wipe away excess cement to ensure a clean joint.

Question 5

Can I use this elbow for hot water or high-temperature applications?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is rated for continuous operation up to 140°F per piece. For hot water systems, ensure the entire piping system is rated for the expected temperature and pressure and that all components are compatible.

Question 6

What are the benefits of UPVC fittings like this elbow?

Accepted Answer

UPVC elbows are corrosion- and chemical-resistant, lightweight, and cost-effective. When solvent-welded correctly, they provide secure joints with good flow characteristics and long-term reliability in suitable environments.

Question 7

What are common use cases for this elbow?

Accepted Answer

Ideal for residential plumbing, irrigation setups, and light industrial piping where UPVC is used and a 45-degree directional change is needed to fit space constraints or routing.

Question 8

How does this 45-degree elbow compare to a 90-degree UPVC elbow available on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

A 45-degree elbow provides a gentler directional change, which can reduce flow resistance and pressure loss compared to a sharp 90-degree turn. If space allows, using a 45-degree elbow can improve flow and reduce stress on the piping run. See a 90-degree UPVC elbow on Fepy here: https://fepy.com/product/atlas-90-degree-upvc-elbow-per-pcs
