UPVC Female Threaded 90-Degree Elbow | Slip Socket to Female Thread Transition Elbow (20mm - 32mm) - Atradesen

UPVC Slip Socket to Female Threaded 90-Degree Elbows

Route and adapt your pressure lines efficiently with our premium UPVC female-threaded 90-degree elbows, available at Atradesen.com. Molded from high-density, potable-grade UPVC (Unplasticized PVC), these 90-degree transition fittings feature one smooth slip-socket end and one reinforced female-threaded outlet, offering a rust-free, corrosion-proof, and scale-resistant solution for complex water treatment networks, reef aquariums, and irrigation setups.

Designed to bridge rigid piping lines directly with threaded instrumentation, faucets, or water valves at a right angle, this single-piece transition elbow minimizes the need for bulky reducers and extra fittings, keeping your pipeline layout compact and tidy.

Inline Slip-to-Thread Right-Angle Branching

Standard piping modifications often require joining separate fittings (such as a standard socket elbow plus a threaded adapter) to make a 90-degree turn that connects to threaded components like pressure gauges, sampling valves, or water faucets. Our specialized transition elbow simplifies this layout. The smooth slip-socket end solvent-welds directly onto rigid PVC/UPVC pipes, while the 90-degree branching port features standard G-threads. This allows you to mount threaded instruments, gauges, or shut-off valves directly around corners, saving space and reducing potential leak points.

⚠️ Sizing & Thread Compatibility Guide

The size specifications of this series represent: Slip-Socket Inner Diameter (ID) * Female Thread Size. Please check your pipe standards before selecting:

• 1/2" Female Thread: Thread inner diameter corresponds approximately to 20mm nominal pipe size.
• 3/4" Female Thread: Thread inner diameter corresponds approximately to 25mm nominal pipe size.
• 1" Female Thread: Thread inner diameter corresponds approximately to 32mm nominal pipe size.
• Dual Connection Method:
  • Slip Socket: Requires standard UPVC/PVC solvent cement (glue welding) to create a permanent, watertight bond with matching outer diameter (OD) pipes.
  • Threaded Socket: Features standard G/BSP internal threads. Always wrap additional PTFE thread seal tape (Teflon tape) clockwise around the mating male thread to secure a watertight joint.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the main benefit of using a slip-to-thread 90-degree elbow?

A: It allows standard solvent-welded rigid plastic water lines to directly transition into standard threaded male components (like pressure sensors, faucets, or valves) at a perfect right angle without needing extra adapters. This creates a much stronger, more compact joint that is less prone to mechanical vibration leaks.

Q: Can I use this elbow for hot-water boiler loops?

A: No. UPVC is rated for temperature ranges from 0°C to 55°C (32°F to 131°F). It is excellent for cold water networks, aquariums, reverse osmosis purifiers, and gardens, but should not be used in high-temperature heating loops.
