Description

The Compression Male Elbow 32mm x 1/2″ is a plumbing fitting used to connect two pipes at a 90-degree angle, commonly transitioning from a larger pipe to a smaller one. Here’s a breakdown of its components and features:

1. Material:

  • Usually made of durable materials such as brass, PVC, or polyethylene. The choice of material depends on the application (water supply, gas, etc.).

2. Size:

  • 32mm: Refers to the outer diameter of the larger pipe fitting. This side is typically used for connecting a 32mm pipe.
  • 1/2″ (Half Inch): Refers to the threaded male connection size. The male elbow has external threads that screw into a corresponding female threaded fitting, typically on a pipe or valve.

3. Connection Type:

  • Compression Fitting: The compression side (32mm) seals the pipe using a compression ring (or olive) and a compression nut. This type of connection does not require soldering or welding, making it easy to install or remove.
  • Male Threaded Connection: The 1/2″ male threaded side screws into a corresponding female fitting.

4. Uses:

  • Water Supply Systems: It is widely used in domestic and commercial water plumbing systems, such as connecting water mains or irrigation systems.
  • Irrigation Systems: Often used in agricultural settings to connect larger polyethylene pipes to smaller valves or equipment.
  • Compressed Air Systems: May also be used in pneumatic systems where pipe size transitions are needed.

5. Installation:

  • The compression end requires tightening of the nut over the pipe to compress the olive, creating a watertight seal.
  • The male threaded end is typically wrapped with PTFE tape (Teflon tape) before being screwed into the female fitting to ensure a secure, leak-free connection.

6. Advantages:

  • Easy Installation: No special tools, heat, or adhesives are required for installation.
  • Removable and Reusable: Compression fittings can be disassembled and reused, which makes them versatile for repairs.
  • Strong and Reliable: Provides a secure connection for high-pressure water systems.

This fitting is a popular choice for plumbing projects due to its simplicity and the versatility it offers for connecting pipes of different diameters.
