CPVC Elbow
Introduction
CPVC ELBOW:
CPVC elbow fittings are plastic fittings that are used to connect two pipes at a specific angle. This is done to provide flexibility, reduce friction and turbulence in the plumbing systems.
CPVC stands for Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride which is a very strong and rigid polymer that withstands temperatures upto 93 Deg C.
CPVC elbows have another name, that is CPVC bend. Though the names are different, the function is the same. These are made using the injection molding process.
Different varieties of CPVC Pipe elbows are available depending on the size of the pipes and the angle they need to be joined at.
They require solvent cement to make a joint with the pipe and these joints are highly reliable and leak proof.
It is a fitting that allows various changes in plumbing systems, and it is usually designed to connect the pipes at some degree. It comes in varying sizes that includes varying plumbing requirements. Let’s delve into the pipe’s benefits.
Corrosion resistivity
Cpvc elbow are highly resistant to corrosion, which makes it the best choice for water applications, ensuring longevity.
Temperature resistivity
It could withstand hot water temperature, which makes it more suitable for applications like water heaters and hot water distribution systems.
Easy to install
Furthermore, the pipes are lightweight and are easy to work with. The pipes could be easily shaped, cut, and are entirely connected with the help of solvent cement, vanishing the requirement for complex tools.
Cost-effectivity
These pipes are highly cost-effective in comparison to metal alternatives. And, the pipes need lower long term costs and need less maintenance.
CPVC Elbow 90 Degree
The most common type of CPVC elbows are 90 degree elbows. These elbows, when connect two pipes, form an angle of 90 degrees. This is one of the most commonly used fitting and are used in all the kinds of plumbing systems.
Elbows are also available in reducing type also known as CPVC reducing elbows which connect a pipe of higher size with one of smaller size.
CPVC Elbow 45 Degree
Another type of CPVC bends are 45 degree elbow. These elbows connect two pipes at an angle of 45 degrees. These elbows cause much lower turbulence and friction in the flow as compared to the 90 degree elbows.
CPVC Threaded Elbow
CPVC elbow fittings generally have female threads which are screwed with the male threads on the bathroom fittings. The threads may be all plastic or might be made up of brass and manufactured using a process known as insert molding. Elbows with brass threads are also called brass threaded elbow.
CPVC 90 Deg and CPVC 45 Deg Elbows are available in:
½” (15mm), ¾”(20mm), 1” (25mm), 1 ¼”(32mm), 1 ½”(40mm), 2” (50mm) in Copper tube sizes (CTS)
and 2 ½”(75mm), 3” (90mm), 4” (110mm), 6” (160mm) & 8” (200mm) in Iron Pipe sizes (IPS) Sch 40 and SCh 80.
