PVC Elbow 45 Degree Pressure Fittings Adhesive Water Pipe Fitting ID 20mm~ 125mm

Match the fitting's inner diameter (ID) to your pipe's outer diameter (OD) — for Schedule 40 PVC pipe, the nominal pipe size and the fitting socket ID are designed to be compatible. For example, a 20mm fitting suits 20mm OD pipe. If you are unsure, measure the outside of your pipe with calipers and select the closest matching fitting ID from the variant options.

These are pressure-rated fittings designed for solvent-weld water pipe systems. Exact pressure ratings vary by size — larger diameters typically carry a lower maximum working pressure. Check the variant-specific pressure rating or contact us to confirm suitability for your system's operating pressure before installation.

No. Rigid PVC pressure fittings are rated for cold-water service only, typically up to 60°C (140°F) under reduced pressure. For hot water supply lines, CPVC or copper fittings are the appropriate choice. These PVC elbows are intended for cold-water supply, irrigation, and drainage applications.

Use a PVC solvent cement (solvent weld adhesive) rated for pressure pipe applications. Apply a PVC primer to both the pipe end and the fitting socket, then apply solvent cement to both surfaces and push the pipe firmly into the socket with a slight twist. Allow the joint to cure per the cement manufacturer's instructions before pressurising the system.

Rigid PVC is inherently corrosion-resistant and unaffected by standard irrigation water, fertiliser solutions, and chlorinated mains water. However, prolonged direct UV exposure can cause surface chalking over time. For above-ground outdoor runs, painting the fittings with a water-based exterior paint or wrapping with UV-protective tape is recommended to extend service life.

A 45° elbow creates a gentler directional change, which reduces turbulence, pressure drop, and flow restriction compared to a 90° bend. This makes it the preferred choice for longer pipe runs where maintaining flow rate matters, for gravity-fed drainage slopes, and for situations where two 45° elbows are used in sequence to achieve a 90° offset with a longer sweep radius.

No. These fittings are designed exclusively for rigid PVC pipe using PVC solvent cement. ABS and CPVC pipes require their own compatible fittings and adhesives. Using mismatched materials can result in joint failure. Always confirm your pipe material before selecting fittings.
