Question 1

What is the Cosmoplast UPVC Elbow 87° 75mm Grey used for in a plumbing system?

Accepted Answer

It's a rigid UPVC elbow designed to change direction by 87 degrees in soil, waste, and vent piping. With a 75mm diameter and grey color, it is suited for residential villas and low-rise buildings, enabling a smooth interior flow and leak-tight solvent-weld joints without flame.

Question 2

What are the key specifications of this elbow?

Accepted Answer

Key specs include: 75 mm nominal size, 87° angle, PN16 pressure rating for medium-pressure pipe systems, corrosion resistance, UV resistance for outdoor use, smooth internal bore for self-cleansing flow, and solvent-weld sockets for leak-tight, flame-free joints.

Question 3

Why is the PN16 rating important for my installation?

Accepted Answer

PN16 indicates the elbow is suitable for medium-pressure piping, helping ensure safe operation within its rated pressure. It guides you to pair the elbow with compatible PN16 UPVC pipes and fittings for a secure, code-compliant installation.

Question 4

How do I install this elbow using solvent-weld joints?

Accepted Answer

For a secure solvent-weld joint: clean and dry the pipe ends, apply a suitable primer to the pipe and socket, apply solvent cement evenly, insert the pipe into the socket with a slight twisting motion, and hold briefly until the joint sets. Ensure proper alignment and avoid twisting after insertion.

Question 5

Can this elbow be used outdoors, and how do I protect it from sun exposure?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is UV-resistant for outdoor installations. For prolonged exterior exposure, consider using UV-protective measures or housings as recommended by local codes to extend service life in harsh sun.

Question 6

What impact does the 87° angle have on space and flow in my piping layout?

Accepted Answer

An 87° bend provides a near-right-angle turn, which helps fit constrained spaces while maintaining a relatively straight flow path. It’s important to plan the layout to minimize flow resistance and ensure smooth insertion of pipes into the elbow.

Question 7

Is this elbow compatible with standard 75mm UPVC solvent-weld fittings from other brands?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this elbow is designed for compatibility with standard 75mm UPVC solvent-weld systems. Always verify that the pipe SDR/PN and the solvent cement match the elbow’s specifications for a proper, leak-free joint.

Question 8

In what scenarios is thisCosmoplast elbow especially suitable (use cases)?

Accepted Answer

Ideal for residential waste and vent lines, as well as small-scale industrial plumbing where a sharp direction change is needed. It’s well-suited for UAE villas and low-rise buildings where corrosion resistance and durable, leak-tight joints are important.

Question 9

What should I consider when choosing this elbow over alternatives on Fepy?

Accepted Answer

Consider the material quality, UV resistance for outdoor use, the PN16 rating for your system, and the 87° angle to match your layout. Also compare cost, availability, and lead times against other 75mm UPVC elbows on Fepy to maximize value.

Question 10

What are some recommended alternatives on Fepy for the same size and angle?

Question 11

What maintenance or inspection steps are recommended after installation?

Accepted Answer

Periodically inspect joints for signs of leaks or movement, ensure UV protection for exterior runs, and verify that solvent-weld joints remain clean and free from debris. Replace any damaged fittings promptly to maintain system integrity.

Question 12

How do I verify sizing and ensure proper fit during installation?

Accepted Answer

Confirm that the pipe diameter matches 75 mm and that the system is designed for PN16. Dry-fit the components first to check alignment, then complete the solvent-weld process with appropriate primers and cement. Avoid forcing joints to prevent cracks or leaks.
