CPVC Bend 90°

Description

The CPVC Bend 90°, also commonly known as a 90-degree elbow, is a fundamental component for creating turns and offsets in a CPVC piping system. Made from durable chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, this fitting is expertly engineered to provide a smooth, tight, and reliable directional change. It is designed to be joined to CPVC pipes using a solvent cement, which creates a permanent, monolithic bond that is highly resistant to leaks and pressure.

Uses:

• Changing Pipe Direction: The primary use of a 90-degree bend is to change the direction of a hot or cold water supply line, allowing the pipe to be routed around corners, through walls, or to specific fixtures.

• Connecting to Fixtures: It is a standard fitting used to connect a horizontal pipe run to a vertical one, such as when connecting a water line from a wall to a faucet or a shower head.

• Creating Offsets: Bends are essential for creating offsets in a plumbing system, allowing the pipe to bypass obstacles while maintaining a secure and efficient flow.

Advantages:

• Secure and Leak-Proof Connection: When installed with a proper solvent cement, the bend creates a permanent bond with the pipes, ensuring a leak-proof connection that can withstand high pressure and temperature.

• High Temperature and Pressure Resistance: Like other CPVC fittings, it is designed to handle hot and cold water applications, withstanding temperatures up to 200°F (93°C) and maintaining durability under a wide range of operating pressures.

• Corrosion and Chemical Resistance: The material will not rust, scale, or corrode over time, ensuring a clean and consistent water flow. It is also resistant to a variety of common chemicals.

• Smooth Flow Path: The smooth interior of the bend minimizes turbulence and pressure loss, ensuring efficient water delivery throughout the system.
