Description
Imperial PVC 90° Elbow – Solvent Weld
The Imperial PVC 90° Elbow is designed to change the direction of an imperial PVC pipe system by 90 degrees while maintaining a strong, watertight connection. Suitable for solvent weld installations, these fittings are widely used in irrigation, water treatment, swimming pools, aquaculture and industrial process systems.
Manufactured from high-quality PVC, the fitting offers excellent resistance to corrosion, scale build-up and a wide range of chemicals. When used with a suitable PVC solvent cement, it forms a permanent joint that requires minimal maintenance throughout its service life.
Imperial Pipe Dimensions
Imperial solvent weld PVC pipe is identified by its nominal bore (NB), with the fitting socket manufactured to suit the pipe's outside diameter.
| Nominal Pipe Size | 1/2" | 3/4" | 1" | 1 1/4" | 1 1/2" | 2" | 2 1/2" | 3" | 4" |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pipe Outside Diameter (mm) | 21.4 | 26.7 | 33.6 | 42.2 | 48.3 | 60.3 | 75.2 | 88.9 | 114.3 |

Installation Advice
For the best results, ensure both the pipe and fitting are clean and dry before applying solvent cement. Assemble immediately with a slight twisting motion to achieve full engagement, then allow the adhesive to cure fully before the system is pressurised.
