Profec - Elbow 90° PVC-U 140mm Glue Socket 16bar Grey - 7031435

Profec – Elbow 90° PVC-U 140mm Glue Socket 16bar Grey

Sized at 140 mm internal diameter with a centreback length of 149 mm on both legs, this large-bore 90° elbow handles up to 16 bar working pressure — making it suitable for high-volume pool plant rooms, commercial filter circuits, and industrial pipework runs where a full right-angle direction change is required. Manufactured from unplasticised PVC (PVC-U), it offers excellent chemical resistance to chlorinated water, saline solutions, and common pool treatment chemicals. Glue socket connections on both ends conform to EN-ISO 1452-3, ensuring a leak-free solvent-cement bond when used with compatible PVC-U pipe.

Material & pressure rating

PVC-U is inherently corrosion-resistant and dimensionally stable, making it the material of choice for permanent pool and water-treatment pipework. The 16 bar pressure rating provides a generous safety margin over the typical operating pressures found in pool filtration and circulation systems, including those serving high-head commercial pumps. The grey colour is standard for metric pressure fittings and aids easy identification in mixed-material plantrooms.

Solvent-cement connection

Both sockets accept standard metric PVC-U pipe with a 140 mm outer diameter. The glue socket design, produced to EN-ISO 1452-3, creates a monolithic, permanent joint when solvent cement is correctly applied — no O-rings, clamps, or union nuts required. This makes the fitting particularly well-suited to buried or concealed runs where maintenance access is limited and joint integrity must be guaranteed long-term.

Sizing & application

At 140 mm, this elbow is one of the larger sizes in the Profec metric range, appropriate for commercial or large-residential pool plant rooms, waterpark circuits, aquaculture systems, and industrial water-treatment installations. It should be installed by a qualified pipework professional familiar with solvent-cement technique and the required cure times before the system is pressurised.
