Description
The “Plast Compression Male Elbow 32mm x 3/4″” is a type of compression fitting used to connect polyethylene (PE) pipes in piping systems, and here’s a detailed explanation:
Key Features:
- Plast Compression Fitting:
- The term “Plast” likely refers to the type of plastic material used in the fitting, commonly polyethylene or polypropylene. These are robust and durable materials suited for water and fluid systems.
- Compression fittings are used to connect pipes without the need for welding or adhesives. They use compression nuts and a sealing ring (often rubber) to ensure a watertight connection.
- Male Elbow:
- Elbow: The elbow is designed to change the direction of the piping, typically by 90 degrees.
- Male: This fitting has external threads (male threads) that can be screwed into another fitting with female threads, like a valve or a coupling. It is often used to connect pipes to threaded components.
- 32mm x 3/4″:
- 32mm: This refers to the diameter of the pipe that will be connected via the compression fitting. This measurement is in metric units and indicates the outer diameter of the pipe.
- 3/4″: This refers to the threaded side of the elbow, measured in imperial units. It indicates the size of the male thread, which would connect to a 3/4″ female thread fitting.
Applications:
This type of elbow fitting is commonly used in:
- Plumbing systems for water supply.
- Irrigation systems in agricultural settings.
- Industrial water systems where a PE pipe needs to connect to a threaded valve or other device.
The compression fitting aspect makes it convenient for quick installations and disassembly, and it is typically used in low to medium pressure systems.
