Rated to a full 16 bar (PN16) at 20 \u00b0C, this compact 16 mm PVC-U elbow delivers a precise 90\u00b0 change of direction in pool plant-room and circulation pipework without compromising pressure integrity. Both sockets share an identical 23 mm insertion depth (Cb), ensuring a symmetrical, well-supported solvent-cement joint on each leg. It is a direct-fit component for standard metric 16 mm PVC-U pipe runs used in pool filtration, dosing, and water-treatment loops.<\/p>\n
The glue-socket connection method follows EN-ISO 1452-3, the European standard governing PVC-U fittings for pressurised water supply systems. Solvent cement bonds cure to form a monolithic joint that is at least as strong as the pipe wall itself, making this elbow suitable for both above-ground and concealed installations where a leak-free, permanent connection is required.<\/p>\n
Unplasticised PVC (PVC-U) is inherently resistant to chlorinated pool water, common pool chemicals, and mild acids, making it the default material of choice for pool circulation and chemical-dosing lines. The grey pigmentation is the industry-standard colour for metric pressure fittings, aiding quick visual identification of rated components during installation and inspection.<\/p>\n
With an inner diameter of 16 mm on both ports, this elbow mates directly with DN16 (OD 20 mm) metric PVC-U pipe \u2014 a size typically used for chemical dosing lines, sensor bypass loops, and smaller pool equipment connections. It is compatible with the full Profec range of 16 mm glue-socket fittings, allowing couplings, tees, and reducers to be combined within a single, consistent system.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
