Profec – Elbow 90° PVC-U 40 mm Glue Socket 16 bar Grey

Rated to a full 16 bar working pressure, this 40 mm PVC-U elbow delivers a sharp 90° change of direction in metric pressure pipework — the size most commonly used on pool pump suction and return lines up to roughly 50 m³/h flow. Both socket ends share an identical 40 mm internal diameter (ØDi 40 mm) and a centre-to-face depth of 47 mm, keeping installation geometry tight and predictable.

Material & pressure compliance

Moulded in unplasticised PVC (PVC-U), the fitting resists chlorine-rich pool water, common pool chemicals, and UV-reflected splash without degrading or discolouring. Solvent-cement connections conform to EN-ISO 1452-3, the European standard governing dimensions and performance of PVC-U pressure fittings, ensuring full compatibility with standard metric PVC pipe of the same nominal size.

Solvent-cement connection

The glue-socket (solvent-cement) joint creates a permanent, leak-free bond that becomes integral with the pipe wall once cured — there are no O-rings or mechanical parts to inspect or replace over time. For pool plant rooms and buried pipework where long-term reliability matters, this jointing method is widely preferred by professional installers over push-fit alternatives.

Sizing & application fit

At 40 mm, this elbow is a natural match for the pipework leaving most single-phase pool pumps (typically 1.5–3 kW), sand filters, and heat pump connections where 40 mm or 1½″ BSP ports are standard. Its compact 47 mm centre-to-face dimension also makes it a practical choice in tight plant-room corners or pre-fabricated pipework assemblies.
