Description
This premium PVCu 45° plain elbow is a high-quality pipe fitting designed to create smooth directional changes in metric pipework systems. Manufactured from lightweight yet robust unplasticised PVC, it offers a reliable and long-lasting connection without adding unnecessary weight to your installation.
Ideal for use in water treatment, chemical handling, industrial process lines and general services, this elbow fitting helps you achieve neat, space-efficient pipe layouts while maintaining excellent flow characteristics. Available in a wide range of metric sizes and convenient pack quantities, it provides a versatile solution for new installations, upgrades and repairs.
Product Features
- 45° elbow design for smooth directional changes in metric pipe runs.
- Plain (solvent weld) socket ends for secure, permanent joints with compatible PVCu pipe.
- Manufactured from durable, rigid PVCu for strength with reduced weight.
- Available sizes include 20mm (pack of 11), 25mm (pack of 10), 32mm (pack of 9), 40mm (pack of 6) and 50mm (pack of 6), plus additional metric options.
- Chemical-resistant construction suitable for many water and process media applications.
- Corrosion-free and non-metallic, ideal for harsh or wet environments.
- Supplied in practical pack quantities to support small projects and larger installations.
Key Features and Benefits
- Lightweight material makes handling and installation easier, especially in overhead or confined spaces.
- Excellent chemical and corrosion resistance helps extend system life and reduce maintenance costs.
- Plain solvent-weld sockets provide leak-resistant, permanent joints when installed correctly.
- 45° bend angle maintains smoother flow compared with sharper elbows, helping to minimise pressure losses.
- Wide range of metric sizes allows easy integration into new or existing PVCu pipework systems.
- Non-metallic construction eliminates rust, making it suitable for wet, humid or chemically aggressive environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I connect this PVCu 45° elbow to my existing pipework?
This fitting has plain sockets designed for solvent welding to compatible metric PVCu pipe. Cut the pipe square, deburr the ends, clean and dry the surfaces, then apply appropriate PVCu solvent cement and cleaner according to the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions before assembling the joint and allowing it to cure.
Is this elbow suitable for use with all types of chemicals and fluids?
The elbow offers good chemical resistance to many common water-based and some chemical media, but not all substances are compatible with PVCu. Always consult a chemical compatibility guide for PVCu and check the operating temperature and pressure of your system before use.
Can I use this fitting in high-pressure or high-temperature systems?
This PVCu elbow is intended for use within the typical pressure and temperature limits of PVCu pipework systems, generally at moderate pressures and ambient to moderately elevated temperatures. For high-pressure or high-temperature applications, check the system design data and relevant standards, and consider whether an alternative material or rating is required.
