PVC-U Elbow 45° – High-Quality Pipe Fitting for Efficient Flow Diversion
In modern piping systems, smooth directional changes are crucial to maintaining optimal flow efficiency and reducing pressure loss. PVC-U Elbow 45° fittings from Zhongjia provide a reliable solution for redirecting pipelines with minimal resistance. These fittings are manufactured from high-quality unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U), ensuring durability, chemical resistance, and long-term performance in various applications.
Features & Benefits
1. Smooth 45° Angle for Optimal Flow
Unlike sharp 90° elbows, the 45° bend ensures a gradual flow transition, reducing turbulence and pressure drops. This makes it ideal for:
Water supply systems (minimizing energy loss in pumping)
Industrial pipelines (maintaining consistent fluid movement)
Drainage systems (preventing clogging due to abrupt turns)
2. High Pressure Resistance (PN10 & PN16)
Depending on the application, these elbows are available in PN10 (10 bar) and PN16 (16 bar) pressure ratings, suitable for:
Municipal water networks
Irrigation systems
Chemical processing plants
3. Corrosion & Chemical Resistance
PVC-U is inherently resistant to:
Rust and corrosion (unlike metal fittings)
Chemicals, acids, and alkalis (ideal for industrial use)
Biological growth (prevents mold and bacterial buildup in water systems)
4. Lightweight & Easy Installation
Socket (Solvent Weld) Connection: Allows for quick and secure bonding with PVC pipes using PVC cement.
Injection-Molded Construction: Ensures uniform wall thickness and structural integrity.
Lower Installation Costs: No heavy machinery or specialized tools required.
5. Long Service Life & Low Maintenance
UV-resistant (when used with proper coatings for outdoor applications)
Abrasion-resistant (suitable for slurry and wastewater transport)
50+ years lifespan with minimal maintenance
6. Compliance with DIN Standards
Manufactured according to DIN standards, these fittings meet strict European quality and safety regulations, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.
Applications of PVC-U 45° Elbows
1. Plumbing & Water Supply Systems
Residential and commercial water distribution
Hot and cold water pipelines
2. Industrial & Chemical Pipelines
Chemical transport (compatible with many non-reactive fluids)
Compressed air systems
Cooling water circuits
3. Agricultural & Irrigation Systems
Sprinkler and drip irrigation networks
Greenhouse water management
4. Drainage & Sewage Systems
Wastewater treatment plants
Stormwater drainage networks
Why Choose Zhongjia’s PVC-U 45° Elbows?
Wide Size Range (DN15 to DN400): Suitable for small domestic pipes to large industrial pipelines.
High Pressure Ratings (PN10 & PN16): Ensures safe operation under varying pressure conditions.
Durable & Chemical-Resistant: Long-lasting performance even in harsh environments.
Cost-Effective: Lower installation and maintenance costs compared to metal fittings.
Eco-Friendly: PVC-U is recyclable and has a lower carbon footprint than metal alternatives.
Installation Guidelines
Cut the Pipe Squarely: Ensure a clean, burr-free edge for a proper fit.
Clean & Prime: Use PVC primer to prepare the surfaces for bonding.
Apply Solvent Cement: Evenly coat both the pipe and fitting socket.
Insert & Hold: Push the pipe into the elbow and hold for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond.
Cure Time: Allow sufficient time (as per cement instructions) before pressurizing the system.
For efficient and durable pipeline redirection, Zhongjia’s PVC-U 45° Elbow fittings offer an excellent balance of performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. Their smooth bend design, high-pressure resistance, and chemical durability make them ideal for plumbing, industrial, and agricultural applications.
