90° Female/Female Elbow for Screwing and Gluing

90° Female/Female Elbow for screwing and gluing Codital (Reference: 5891) represents the ultimate mixed connection solution for all your plumbing and irrigation projects. This PVC PN16 fitting from the Codital brand, a recognized reference in plastic fittings, offers unique versatility thanks to its dual connection technology. Designed to meet the requirements of both professionals and individuals, it guarantees durable and watertight connections in all configurations.

Professional applications and uses

This 90° mixed elbow proves indispensable in numerous connection situations. In domestic plumbing, it effectively connects rigid PVC pipes to threaded elements, creating perfect right angles to bypass obstacles or change the direction of pipelines. Professional installers particularly appreciate it for its ability to adapt different types of connections in a single element.

In agricultural and garden irrigation, this mixed fitting greatly facilitates complex installations where rigid and flexible pipes, threaded valves and glued fittings are mixed. Automatic sprinkler systems benefit from this versatility to create networks that are both robust and modular. The nominal pressure PN16 (16 bars) makes it perfectly suitable for high-pressure installations.

Technical characteristics and materials

Manufactured in high-quality PVC, this Codital elbow meets the strictest industry standards. PVC PN16 offers excellent chemical resistance to products commonly carried in domestic and industrial pipelines. Its stabilized molecular structure guarantees exceptional lifespan, even in the presence of significant thermal variations.

The dual female socket design allows secure connection on one side by screwing onto male thread, and on the other by gluing with PVC cement. This technological duality offers unique flexibility in network design. The precise 90° angle ensures geometrically perfect connections, avoiding mechanical stress on adjacent piping.

The careful finish of contact surfaces guarantees optimal sealing, both at the thread level and in the gluing area. UV treatment of the material prevents degradation in case of prolonged solar exposure.

Installation and implementation

Installing this mixed elbow requires a methodical approach to fully exploit its capabilities. For the threaded connection, use a Teflon seal or hemp to ensure perfect sealing. Tighten manually then complete with a wrench avoiding excessive tightening that could damage the threads.

For the glued connection, carefully prepare the surfaces: 15° chamfer, light sanding and complete degreasing. Apply specialized PVC cement evenly on both surfaces and assemble quickly by making a quarter turn to distribute the cement. Keep the assembly motionless for at least 30 seconds.

Respect the drying times recommended before pressurizing: minimum 2 hours for small diameters, 4 hours for larger ones. Ambient temperature directly influences these delays. Check perfect alignment of elements before complete polymerization.

Expert advice and product synergies

To maximize the performance of this mixed fitting, combine it with Codital pressure PVC pipes of the same PN16 class. This optimal compatibility guarantees homogeneity of mechanical characteristics across the entire network. Complete your installation with Codital ball valves for optimal flow control.

Professional tip: during winter installations, slightly preheat the elements (without exceeding 40°C) to facilitate assembly and improve cement adhesion. In renovation, this type of mixed fitting proves perfect for adapting new installations to old threaded networks.

Avoid direct exposure to intense UV without protection, particularly in outdoor installation. Plan regular supports to avoid bending stress on the fitting. In chemically aggressive environments, check PVC compatibility with transported fluids.

For seasonal installations like watering, this fitting facilitates partial disassembly thanks to its threaded part, while maintaining the robustness of the glued part for permanent elements.
