Elbow 63mm 45* RAKtherm PPRc

The RAKtherm PPRc Elbow 63mm 45° PN 25 is a high-performance polypropylene random copolymer (PPRc) fitting designed to change the direction of a 63 mm PPR pipeline by 45 degrees. The gradual 45° bend provides smoother water flow than a 90° elbow, reducing pressure loss and turbulence. It is suitable for hot and cold potable water systems, HVAC installations, and commercial or industrial water distribution networks. The fitting is manufactured for socket fusion welding, creating a permanent, leak-proof joint.

Technical Specifications

Applications

The 63 mm 45° elbow is commonly used in:

• Domestic hot and cold water supply systems.
• HVAC chilled water and heating pipelines.
• Commercial buildings and high-rise projects.
• Hospitals, hotels, schools, and shopping malls.
• Industrial process water systems.
• Potable drinking water networks.
• Irrigation and water treatment plants.

Installation Procedure

1. Cut the 63 mm PPR pipe square using a pipe cutter.
2. Remove burrs and clean the pipe end and fitting socket.
3. Heat both the pipe and elbow simultaneously using a PPR fusion welding machine (typically set to 260°C).
4. After the recommended heating time, insert the pipe fully into the elbow without twisting.
5. Hold the joint steady until initial cooling occurs.
6. Allow the joint to cool naturally before applying pressure.
7. Perform a hydrostatic pressure test after installation to verify leak-free performance.

Usage Guidelines

• Use only with 63 mm PPR pipes.
• Install using approved PPR socket fusion equipment.
• Avoid overheating during fusion.
• Ensure proper pipe alignment before joining.
• Support pipelines adequately to minimize mechanical stress.
• Follow local plumbing codes and pressure-testing procedures before commissioning.

Advantages

• Lower pressure loss compared with sharp 90° bends.
• Strong monolithic welded joints with no leakage points.
• Hygienic and safe for potable water.
• Resistant to corrosion and mineral scaling.
• Lightweight and easy to transport and install.
• Low maintenance requirements and excellent long-term reliability.
