Thomsun PPR Double Female Elbow, 25mm x 1/2", PP-R Plumbing Fitting for Hot & Cold Water Systems

- Diameter: 25 mm; Connection size: 1/2 inch - Material: polypropylene random copolymer - Configuration: double female elbow (two female sockets) - Features: corrosion resistance, UV resistance, heat resistance - Finish: smooth interior and exterior to promote better flow and reduce leakage risks

General installation steps: 1) Depressurize the system and cut the pipes square. 2) Deburr and clean the pipe ends. 3) Dry-fit to ensure a proper seat. 4) Apply the appropriate adhesive or follow your PPR system’s recommended bonding method. 5) Insert each pipe end fully into the respective female socket until seated. 6) Allow any adhesive to cure per guidelines and perform a pressure test to check for leaks.

This elbow is ideal for connecting two PPR pipes when you need a change in direction and a reduction or transition between different pipe diameters. It’s suitable for hot and cold water piping runs where a compact, leak-proof, two-sided female connection is required.

This is a double female elbow, meaning both ends are female sockets. It’s used to join two female-ended PPR pipes directly, whereas a standard elbow might be male-to-female or single-ended. It provides a compact solution for changing direction while connecting two pipes with matching female ends.

Yes, it is designed to work with standard PPR pipes that have compatible female socket ends. Ensure the pipe diameter matches 25 mm and that the system you’re using supports the same PPR standards and bonding method.

Safety tips: wear protective gloves and eyewear, depressurize the system before work, handle sharp cut ends carefully, ensure clean and square cuts, use the appropriate bonding method for your PPR system, and follow local plumbing codes during installation.
