CPVC Elbow 45°

Description

The CPVC Elbow 45° is a fundamental component for creating gradual 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:

• Creating Offsets: The primary use of a 45-degree elbow is to create a gradual change in direction, allowing a pipe to bypass obstacles or to align with other fixtures without the sharp turn of a 90-degree elbow.

• Changing Pipe Direction: It is used to change the direction of a hot or cold water supply line by a 45-degree angle, which is essential for creating complex plumbing layouts and for fitting pipes into tight spaces.

• Reducing Flow Turbulence: The less severe angle of a 45-degree elbow helps to minimize turbulence in the water flow compared to a 90-degree elbow, which can help to reduce pressure loss and noise in the system.

Advantages:

• Secure and Leak-Proof Connection: When installed with a proper solvent cement, the elbow 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.

• Simplified Installation: The elbow’s simple solvent-weld design makes it very easy to install, which reduces labor time and costs.
