TYTAN PEX Press elbow 90° - 20x20

Product detailed description

This 90° press elbow is commonly used in residential and commercial plumbing systems for redirecting PEX piping in main distribution lines. It is suitable for applications such as connecting supply lines from a manifold to bathrooms, kitchens, and other utility areas. The elbow maintains a consistent 20 mm internal diameter on both sides, ensuring no flow restriction when changing direction. The tinned brass construction provides corrosion resistance and durability in wet environments. This component is part of the TYTAN range, designed for mechanical press connections using standard PEX clamps and dies.

Installers working on central heating, domestic hot and cold water systems, or underfloor heating circuits will find this elbow useful for creating right-angle turns without the need for threading or soldering. The press connection method eliminates the risk of leaks caused by improper tightening or sealant application. The 0.109 kg weight makes it easy to handle and position during installation. The 10-year warranty reflects the product's expected service life under normal operating conditions.

The 20 mm PEX connection size is suitable for main distribution lines where higher flow rates are required. The tinned brass body ensures compatibility with PEX piping and provides resistance to corrosion. The 10-year warranty is based on standard operating conditions and does not cover misuse or incorrect installation. The weight of 0.109 kg is typical for press fittings of this size and material.Installation and connection To install the press elbow, first ensure that the PEX pipes are cut cleanly and free from burrs. Insert each end of the pipe into the fitting until it reaches the stop mark. Use a standard PEX press clamp and die to apply even pressure around the circumference of the fitting. Check that the clamp is fully seated and that the die has engaged the entire length of the fitting. A common mistake is applying uneven pressure, which can lead to weak spots in the connection. Always verify the alignment of the elbow before securing it in place to avoid stress on the joints.Compatibility and accessories This press elbow is compatible with standard PEX piping and is part of the TYTAN range of press fittings. It requires a standard PEX press clamp and die for installation. No additional sealing compounds or tapes are needed. It is not compatible with copper, steel, or other non-PEX piping systems without the use of transition fittings. Accessories such as PEX pipe, clamps, and dies should be ordered separately to complete the installation.Technical background for designers The press elbow operates by mechanically compressing the PEX pipe into the tinned brass fitting, creating a permanent, leak-tight joint. The tinned brass material is selected for its resistance to corrosion and its ability to maintain a stable connection under varying temperatures and pressures. The 20 mm internal diameter ensures that the elbow does not restrict flow in main distribution lines. The press connection method eliminates the need for threading or soldering, reducing installation time and potential for human error. The 10-year warranty is based on the expected service life under normal operating conditions and does not cover misuse or incorrect installation.Service and operation No regular maintenance is required for this press elbow under normal operating conditions. However, it is important to inspect the connection periodically for signs of wear, especially in high-traffic areas or where vibration is present. If a leak is detected, the fitting should be replaced immediately. The 10-year warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship but does not extend to damage caused by incorrect installation or use outside the intended application.Frequently asked questions
