Description
PVC Imperial 90° Elbow
The PVC Imperial 90° Elbow is designed to create a 90-degree change in direction within imperial solvent weld PVC pipe systems. Manufactured from durable, corrosion-resistant PVC, these fittings provide a reliable, leak-free joint when used with a suitable PVC solvent cement, making them ideal for water distribution, irrigation, swimming pools, chemical handling and industrial pipework.
Imperial PVC Pipe Sizes
Imperial PVC pipe is sized by its nominal bore (NB), while the fitting socket is manufactured to suit the outside diameter of the corresponding pipe.
