Product detailed description

This 90° pressing elbow is commonly used in residential and commercial building installations for connecting PEX pipe systems to threaded fittings. It is suitable for use in heating, water supply and sanitation systems where a change in direction is required. The elbow is designed for use with U-profile pressing pliers and is intended for applications where a secure and leak-free connection is essential.

The elbow is typically installed by heating and pressing the PEX pipe into the fitting using the appropriate pliers. It is suitable for use in systems operating under standard hydraulic conditions and is compatible with standard PEX pipe dimensions. The nickel-plated brass construction ensures corrosion resistance and long-term durability in typical installation environments.

Technical parameters

Code	PEX-Z.K.GW16X3/4

The elbow is designed for use with PEX pipes and internal threaded components. The connection method relies on pressing the pipe into the fitting using U-profile pliers. The dimensions and materials are selected to ensure compatibility with standard PEX systems and to maintain structural integrity under normal operating conditions.

Installation and connection

Installation requires the use of U-profile pressing pliers. The PEX pipe is inserted into the fitting until it reaches the stop mark, and the pliers are then used to press the pipe into the fitting. The internal thread allows for connection to standard threaded components. It is important to ensure that the pipe is fully inserted and that the pressing tool is correctly aligned to avoid misalignment or incomplete pressing. Common installation errors include using incorrect pliers, failing to clean the pipe and fitting surfaces, and applying uneven pressure during pressing.

Compatibility and accessories

This elbow is compatible with standard PEX pipe systems and internal threaded fittings. It is intended for use with U-profile pressing pliers. No additional accessories are required for installation. It is recommended to use the same brand and type of PEX pipe and fittings to ensure compatibility and system integrity.

Technical background for designers

The elbow operates on the principle of mechanical pressing, where the PEX pipe is compressed into the fitting using a U-profile pressing tool. The nickel-plated brass material provides good resistance to corrosion and ensures a long service life in typical installation conditions. The design allows for a secure and leak-free connection when installed correctly. The elbow is suitable for integration into standard PEX systems and is designed to maintain system efficiency and reliability over time.

Service and operation

Once installed, the elbow requires minimal maintenance. It is important to ensure that the connection remains intact and that no signs of leakage or wear are present. There are no scheduled service intervals for this component. Any signs of damage or leakage should be investigated and repaired as necessary. The elbow is designed for long-term use and does not require regular servicing under normal operating conditions.

Frequently asked questions

Can this elbow be used with other types of pipe besides PEX?
No, this elbow is specifically designed for use with PEX pipes and is not suitable for other pipe materials.

What type of pliers are required for installation?
This elbow must be installed using U-profile pressing pliers. Other types of pliers are not suitable for this fitting.

Is it possible to reuse the elbow after pressing?
No, once the elbow has been pressed, it cannot be reused. A new fitting must be used for any additional connections.

Can this elbow be used in high-pressure systems?
Yes, the elbow is suitable for use in standard pressure systems. However, it is important to follow the manufacturer's technical data sheet for specific pressure ratings.
