Description
This premium PVCu Y elbow plain metric fitting is designed for creating smooth, angled branch connections in plastic pipework systems. Manufactured from unplasticised PVC, it offers a lightweight yet robust solution for diverting flow or adding additional lines without compromising system performance.
Ideal for use in potable water systems as well as general industrial and commercial pipework, this Y elbow fitting is corrosion resistant, easy to install and available in practical metric sizes. With options in 50mm and 75mm, it suits a wide range of low to medium pressure applications in plant rooms, process lines and service installations.
Product Features
- Premium PVCu Y elbow plain fitting for metric pipework systems
- Available in 50mm and 75mm sizes to suit common pipe diameters
- Plain (solvent weld) sockets for secure, leak-resistant joints
- Lightweight construction for easier handling and installation
- Chemically and corrosion resistant PVCu material
- Suitable for potable (drinking) water and general fluid distribution

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this PVCu Y elbow fitting be used with drinking water?
Yes, the fitting is manufactured from PVCu suitable for use in potable water systems when installed and maintained in accordance with relevant standards and good practice.
How is this Y elbow plain fitting joined to the pipe?
The fitting has plain socket ends designed for solvent weld jointing. A compatible PVCu solvent cement and cleaner or primer should be used, following the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions for preparation, application and curing.
How do I choose between the 50mm and 75mm size options?
Select the size that matches the nominal outside diameter of your existing PVCu pipework. Use 50mm for 50mm metric pipe and 75mm for 75mm metric pipe to ensure a correct fit and reliable solvent weld connection.
