Product description
PE (Polyethylene) Compression Elbow Coupling Adapters are fittings used in piping systems to connect sections of polyethylene (PE) pipe at an angle. They are commonly used in irrigation, water supply, and other plumbing systems where flexible, durable connections are needed. Here’s a comprehensive guide to PE compression elbow coupling adapters, including their features, types, applications, and tips for selecting the right one.
Features of PE Compression Elbow Coupling Adapters
Polyethylene (PE): Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or low-density polyethylene (LDPE), which provides flexibility, resistance to corrosion, and durability.
Compression Fitting Components: Typically include a compression ring (or ferrule), a compression nut, and the main fitting body.
Elbow Shape: Designed to make a 90-degree (or sometimes 45-degree) turn in the piping system, allowing for directional changes in the pipe layout.
Compression Mechanism: Uses a compression fitting design that creates a tight seal around the pipe. This mechanism typically includes a compression nut and a compression ring that clamps onto the pipe.
Pipe Size Compatibility: Available in various sizes to match different pipe diameters, commonly ranging from 1/2 inch to 4 inches or more.
Angle: Most commonly available in 90-degree and 45-degree configurations, depending on the needed direction change.
Compression Fittings: Designed to fit over the pipe and create a watertight seal through compression. Does not require welding or special tools for installation.
