What is agm upvc Elbow 6″ 45* ?

 

Description

The AGM uPVC Elbow 6″ 45° Sch 40 is a 45-degree angled pipe fitting produced by Arabian Gulf Manufacturers Ltd. (AGM), a prominent Saudi Arabian manufacturer based in Jeddah. AGM specializes in high-quality uPVC (un plasticized polyvinyl chloride) pipes and fittings, widely imported to countries like Pakistan for plumbing and HVAC applications.

This elbow allows a gradual 45-degree directional change in piping runs, reducing turbulence and pressure drop compared to sharper 90-degree bends. It has two socket (slip) ends for solvent cement joining to 6-inch Schedule 40 uPVC pipes. Sch 40 uPVC is rigid, lightweight, non-corrosive, and versatile for pressure and non-pressure systems, including HVAC condensate drains.

AGM products meet international standards like ASTM D2466 (fittings) and ASTM D2665 (drainage), with compatibility to ASTM D1785 pipes. Typically white or gray in color, they are built for long-term performance in demanding conditions.

Specifications

• Nominal Size: 6 inches (168.3 mm outside diameter for compatible Sch 40 pipe).
• Schedule: 40 (wall thickness approx. 0.280 inches / 7.11 mm for pipe).
• Angle: 45 degrees.
• Material: uPVC (Rigid PVC, Type 1, Grade 1, cell classification 12454 per ASTM D1784).
• Standards: ASTM D2466 (pressure fittings), ASTM D2665 (DWV fittings), often NSF-approved for potable water.
• Pressure Rating: Up to ~140-200 psi (varies with temperature; max service ~140°F/60°C).
• Joint Type: Socket ends for solvent cement welding.
• Color: Usually white (pressure/water) or gray.
• Dimensions: Center-to-end lay length follows ASTM standards (approx. 5-6 inches per side for 6″ size).

Resistant to chemicals, corrosion, and abrasion, with smooth bore for optimal flow and low friction loss.

Usage

Ideal for:

• Water Supply: Cold potable water lines (pressure systems), irrigation.
• Sewerage & Drainage: Non-pressure drain, waste, vent (DWV) systems.
• HVAC: Condensate drains, air conditioning drainage, ventilation ducts.
• Industrial: Corrosive fluid transfer, underground conduits.

The 45° angle is preferred for smoother flow transitions, reducing erosion and noise in drainage/HVAC lines. Not for hot water (use CPVC) or pressures exceeding Sch 40 limits.

Installation

Uses solvent cement welding for permanent, leak-proof joints stronger than the pipe.

Step-by-Step Guidelines:

1. Prepare Pipe: Cut squarely with a pipe cutter/saw. Deburr edges and chamfer (15° bevel) for easy insertion.
2. Dry Fit: Test insertion into sockets; mark depth.
3. Clean: Wipe surfaces; apply uPVC primer to remove gloss/oils.
4. Apply Cement:
   • Use ASTM D2564-compliant uPVC solvent cement.
   • Coat pipe end lightly first, then socket heavily.
   • Act fast—cement sets quickly.
   • Join: Push pipe fully in, quarter-turn to spread cement, hold 30-60 seconds.
   • Cure: Wipe excess; initial set 10-30 minutes, full cure 24 hours before testing.
   • Tips/Safety:
     • Ventilated area; cement is flammable.
     • For 6″ size, use assistance for alignment.
     • Avoid wet/cold conditions (<5°C).
     • Pressure test after cure.
