What is agm upvc Elbow 6″ ?

 

Description

The AGM uPVC Elbow 6″ Sch 40 is a 90-degree elbow fitting produced by Arabian Gulf Manufacturers Ltd. (AGM) in Saudi Arabia. It is crafted from un plasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) and suits pressure piping for water supply as well as non-pressure uses like drainage, waste, ventilation (DWV), and sewerage. The “HVAC” label highlights its fit for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, especially vent pipes where flue gas temperatures stay below 60°C. This fitting changes direction in piping systems, delivering smooth flow via solvent-weld joints for leak-proof seals. It meets ASTM standards for durability and safety, and importers bring it from Saudi Arabia.

Specifications

• Material: Un plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (uPVC), often from SABIC raw materials, complying with ASTM D1784 Cell Class 12454 for high quality and non-toxicity.
• Size: Nominal 6″ (Iron Pipe Size – IPS), with outside diameter (OD) of 6.625 inches (168.28 mm), minimum wall thickness of 0.280 inches (7.11 mm), and average internal diameter (ID) of approximately 6.065 inches (154.05 mm).
• Socket Dimensions: Conform to ASTM D2466 requirements for Schedule 40 sockets, ensuring compatibility with Sch 40 pipes (entrance and bottom diameters slightly larger than pipe OD, with minimum socket length specified for secure joints).
• Standards: ASTM D2466 for Sch 40 pressure fittings; for sizes 1¼” and larger, dual-rated with ASTM D2665 for DWV applications; associated pipes meet ASTM D1785. Also aligns with ISO, DIN, and SASO standards.
• Pressure Rating: Suitable for Schedule 40 pressure ratings (e.g., 220 PSI at 23°C for 6″ pipe, with safety factor); maximum service temperature 60°C.
• Color: Typically gray (custom colors available).
• Properties: Corrosion-resistant, lightweight, low friction interior, chemical-resistant, non-conductive, and fire-retardant (ignition at ~450°C).

Installation

Solvent welding creates a permanent, fused joint:

1. Preparation — Cut pipe squarely, remove burrs, and clean surfaces with primer/cleaner.
2. Application — Apply solvent cement evenly to pipe end and fitting socket. Insert pipe fully with a quarter-turn twist, hold for 10-30 seconds (longer for larger sizes like 6″).
3. Curing — Allow initial set (several minutes) and full cure (up to 24-48 hours for large diameters, depending on temperature/humidity).
4. Guidelines — Adhere to local plumbing codes and HVAC standards. Keep flue gas below 60°C in vent applications. Use matching manufacturer fittings and cement for best results. Support large pipes adequately to prevent stress.
5. Warnings — Improper installation risks leaks, failure, or hazards. Professional installation recommended for large sizes due to handling and joint strength needs.

Usage

• Water Supply: Handles pressurized cold water distribution in residential, commercial, and industrial systems, with smooth walls reducing friction and buildup.
• Sewerage and Drainage: Fits non-pressure DWV and sewer lines (dual-rated for larger sizes), resisting corrosion and suitable for buried or exposed installations.
• Ventilation and HVAC: Serves vent piping in DWV systems and low-temperature HVAC exhausts, providing reliable airflow within temperature limits. Its durability against chemicals, corrosion, and stress suits demanding applications, offering long service life with minimal maintenance. For 6″ size, it’s common in larger plumbing, drainage, or ventilation runs.
