90° Mixed Elbow for Screwing and Gluing Female/Male in PVC

The 90° Mixed Elbow for screwing and gluing female/male in PVC Ezfitt (Reference: 5895) represents an innovative technical solution for your plumbing and irrigation installations. This versatile fitting combines two fixing methods in a single element, offering exceptional flexibility for your PVC pipe connection projects.

Applications and usage benefits

This 90° mixed elbow finds its utility in numerous situations where it is necessary to connect elements of different nature. For irrigation installations, it allows efficient connection of buried glued piping to threaded equipment such as sprinklers or solenoid valves. In residential plumbing, it facilitates the junction between glued PVC pipes and threaded sanitary equipment.

Building and plumbing professionals particularly appreciate its ability to simplify complex installations by avoiding the use of multiple intermediate fittings. DIY enthusiasts find it a practical solution for their garden irrigation systems or rainwater harvesting installations. Its design saves time on worksites while ensuring perfect sealing.

Technical specifications and materials

Manufactured in PN16 quality PVC-U, this elbow resists a nominal pressure of 16 bars at 20°C, guaranteeing exceptional robustness for your installations. The PVC-U material (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) offers excellent chemical resistance and remarkable durability against UV and weather conditions.

The female gluing part scrupulously respects the EN 1452 standard, ensuring perfect compatibility with all pressure PVC pipes on the market. The male threaded connection follows the ISO 228-1 standard (gas thread), guaranteeing optimal sealing with standard equipment. This double standard compliance ensures maximum reliability of your installations.

Available in diameters from 32 to 63mm, this elbow adapts to the main dimensions used in domestic and semi-industrial installations. Its operating temperature range of 0 to 60°C makes it compatible with cold water as well as domestic hot water applications.

Installation and implementation

Installing the Ezfitt mixed elbow requires careful preparation of connection surfaces. For the gluing part, carefully debur the end of the PVC pipe, then degrease the surfaces with a suitable cleaner. Apply PVC glue uniformly to the pipe and female socket, then proceed with assembly by performing a quarter turn to distribute the glue.

For threaded connection, use PTFE sealing tape or hemp with sealing paste. Wrap the tape in the direction of the thread starting from the second thread. Screw the equipment by hand then tighten moderately with a wrench, without forcing to avoid PVC cracking.

Respect a polymerization time of 24 hours before pressurizing for the glued part. Check sealing by gradual pressure increase and visually inspect all connection points.

Expert advice and optimizations

To maximize the lifespan of your installations, avoid excessive mechanical stress on the fitting by providing appropriate fixing points upstream and downstream. In outdoor installations, protect the fitting from frost by insulating or draining the circuit during winter.

Combine this mixed elbow with quality pressure PVC pipes and specialized high-performance adhesives available at Multitanks to guarantee optimal sealing. For irrigation installations, combine it with irrigation timers and filtration systems for a high-performance and durable assembly.

Remember to provide repair fittings in your stock for emergency interventions. In case of installation in aggressive environments, check the chemical compatibility of PVC with transported fluids and do not hesitate to consult our technical experts for personalized advice.
