PVC 3 4 5 6-Way Elbow Connector Pipe Fittings 1 2" 3 4" 1" 1.2" 1.5" Blue White

Match the fitting size to your pipe's nominal diameter — for example, select the 1/2" fitting for 1/2" nominal PVC pipe. If you're unsure, measure the pipe's outer diameter: 1/2" pipe is approximately 21mm OD, 3/4" is approximately 27mm OD, 1" is approximately 33mm OD, 1.2" is approximately 38mm OD, and 1.5" is approximately 48mm OD. When in doubt, contact us to confirm compatibility before ordering.

The number refers to how many pipe ports the fitting has. A 3-way elbow has three openings (useful for a T-junction with a directional turn), a 4-way has four, a 5-way has five, and a 6-way has six — allowing you to branch flow or structural connections in up to six directions from a single point. Choose based on how many pipe runs need to meet at one junction in your layout.

These fittings are suited for low-to-medium pressure applications such as drip irrigation, aquaponics, and hydroponics water lines. They are not rated for high-pressure plumbing or hot water supply lines. For pressurized systems, always verify the pressure rating against your system's operating pressure before installation.

Yes. PVC is inherently resistant to rust and corrosion, making these fittings a reliable choice for water-contact applications including irrigation and aquaponics. They also resist many common chemicals found in fertilizer solutions used in hydroponic systems. However, they are not suitable for use with solvents or highly concentrated chemical solutions.

These fittings are compatible with standard PVC solvent cement for a permanent, leak-resistant bond. For temporary or adjustable assemblies — such as PVC furniture frames or modular structures — they can also be used as push-fit connections without glue, depending on the application's pressure and movement requirements.

The color variants are functionally identical — same PVC material, same dimensions, and same configuration options. The color difference is purely aesthetic, allowing you to color-code different lines in a system (e.g., blue for water supply, gray for drainage) or simply match your existing pipe color.

For a glued installation, you'll need a PVC pipe cutter or hacksaw to cut pipe to length, sandpaper or a deburring tool to smooth cut ends, PVC primer, and PVC solvent cement. For push-fit or structural (no-glue) assemblies, no special tools are required beyond cutting the pipe to the correct length. Always dry-fit all components before applying cement.

Each unit contains 1 piece. If you need multiple fittings for a larger project, simply increase the quantity before adding to cart. Bulk pricing may be available — contact us for details on larger orders.
