Wefatherm 45 Degree PPR Elbow

- Material: PPR (Polypropylene Random Copolymer) - Maximum working pressure: 10 bar - Temperature rating: up to 95°C - Compatibility: designed to fit standard PPR pipes with socket fusion joints - Other attributes: corrosion-resistant, smooth internal surface, available in multiple sizes for different pipe diameters

The elbow is available in multiple sizes to match standard PPR pipe diameters. To choose the right size, match the fitting’s socket size to your pipe outer diameter and ensure the system pressure and temperature requirements align with the 10 bar / 95°C rating. If you’re unsure, refer to your pipe spec or consult the product page for the exact size options.

Installation requires a compatible PPR fusion process. Steps: 1) depressurize the system and cut the pipe square. 2) Deburr and clean the pipe ends. 3) Dry-fit to ensure proper alignment. 4) Use a PPR socket fusion tool to heat and fuse the pipe and elbow according to your tool’s cycle settings. 5) Hold the joint steady until it cools and solidifies. 6) Perform a pressure test to confirm a leak-free connection.

Use the elbow to route PPR piping around obstacles, connect segments in hot or cold water distribution networks, radiant floor heating, and various residential, commercial, or industrial piping layouts where a 45-degree turn is needed.

A 45-degree elbow provides a gentler bend, which can reduce turbulence and pressure loss in tight spaces. It’s useful for routing around obstacles with less flow disruption, whereas a 90-degree elbow makes a sharper turn and may be preferred when a more abrupt direction change is required or space is very limited.

Yes. This elbow is designed for potable water use and is compatible with standard PPR piping. Ensure proper fusion technique with a compatible tool, follow local plumbing codes, and protect fittings from prolonged direct sunlight if UV exposure is not rated for your environment. Store and handle fittings per manufacturer guidelines.

PPR joints are passive fittings with no moving parts. After installation, perform a pressure test to verify integrity, then periodically inspect for any signs of leaks. If a leak occurs, recheck the joint alignment and fusion quality and replace the elbow if necessary.

Consider the pipe diameter you’re using, the system’s operating pressure and temperature, and the number of fittings needed for your project. Compare the available sizes and ensure you’re selecting a compatible fusion-compatible elbow. Durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with your PPR system contribute to long-term value.

You’ll typically need a compatible PPR fusion tool, the corresponding PPR pipe length, a deburring tool, clean cloth for surface prep, and the correct sized fusion tips for the pipe and socket. Follow the fusion tool manufacturer’s guidelines for cycle times and cooling requirements.

Yes. With a rating of up to 95°C and 10 bar, it is suitable for hot water and a range of industrial piping applications that use PPR piping. Always verify local codes and system specifications to ensure suitability for your specific use case.
