Description
The CPVC Reducer Elbow is a highly efficient and essential fitting for creating complex turns and size transitions in a CPVC piping system. Made from durable chlorinated polyvinyl chloride, this fitting is expertly engineered to perform two key functions: changing the direction of the pipe by 90 degrees and reducing its diameter in a single, compact component. This makes it an ideal solution for applications where both a directional change and a size reduction are needed at a single point.
Uses:
-
Changing Direction and Reducing Size: The primary use of a reducer elbow is to connect a larger main supply line to a smaller branch line at a 90-degree angle. This is common when routing a main line to a fixture or an appliance that requires a smaller pipe size.
-
Streamlining Plumbing Layouts: By combining two functions into one fitting, it simplifies the plumbing layout, which can save space and reduce the number of potential leak points.
-
Adapting to Fixtures: It is a perfect component for connecting a larger pipe to a fixture that has a smaller inlet, such as a water heater, a filter, or a specialized faucet.
Advantages:
-
Secure and Leak-Proof Connection: When installed with a proper solvent cement, the reducer elbow creates a permanent, monolithic bond with the pipes, ensuring a leak-proof connection that can withstand high pressure and temperature.
-
High Durability and Longevity: As a CPVC fitting, it is completely resistant to rust, corrosion, and the chemicals found in water supplies. This robust construction ensures a long service life and high reliability.
-
High Temperature and Pressure Resistance: 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.
-
Simplified and Compact Installation: The fitting simplifies a complex plumbing junction into a single component, which reduces installation time and labor while creating a clean, professional-looking layout.
