Question 1

What exactly is the Banninger PPR Female Elbow and what is it used for in a plumbing system?

Accepted Answer

The Banninger PPR Female Elbow is a pipe fitting made from polypropylene random-copolymer designed to create a change in direction for PPR piping. It connects a PPR pipe to another pipe or fitting with a female socket, enabling secure, corrosion-resistant joints in water, irrigation, and similar plumbing applications.

Question 2

What material is it made from and what are its key properties?

Accepted Answer

It is fabricated from polypropylene random-copolymer, which provides strong chemical resistance, weather resistance for indoor/outdoor use, and durable performance in plumbing systems. The design emphasizes precise craftsmanship for easy integration with standard PPR piping.

Question 3

What sizes or diameters are typically available for this elbow?

Accepted Answer

Banninger PPR Female Elbows are typically offered in multiple standard PPR pipe diameters to match common piping sizes (for example, 20 mm, 25 mm, and 32 mm variants). Exact size availability depends on current stock.

Question 4

How do I install this PPR elbow in a piping system?

Accepted Answer

To install, ensure the pipe diameter matches the elbow socket. Cut the pipe square and deburr the edge, then perform a proper PPR joining method (such as socket fusion/heat fusion or other PPR-compatible joining process). Insert the pipe into the socket until seated, and allow the connection to cool and seal before testing for leaks.

Question 5

What applications is this elbow suitable for?
