What is upvc Elbow 4″ GM Local ?
-
An elbow is a pipe‐fitting that changes the direction of a pipe run, typically by 45° or 90°.
-
The “4″” indicates the nominal size of the pipe it connects to (approx 4 inches internal diameter or nominal size).
-
uPVC = un plasticized polyvinyl chloride: a rigid PVC used for plumbing, drainage, sewerage, ventilation etc.
-
In this case, a “4″ uPVC elbow” would be sized to match 4″ nominal diameter uPVC pipe.
-
The brand “GM Local” (or similar local brands) would be a domestic supplier in Pakistan offering pipes & fittings in this size.
-
For such elbows you’ll commonly see unless specified: Slip × Slip ends (both ends are sockets into which the pipe spigots insert) and either a 45° or 90° bend.
2. Typical Specification upvc Elbow 4″ GM Local/ What to Look For
Here are typical specification items and ranges you should check when buying a 4″ uPVC elbow (brand GM or equivalent) in Pakistan.
| Parameter | Typical/What to check |
|---|---|
| Material | uPVC, rigid, smooth internal bore, corrosion-resistant. |
| Size | Nominal 4″. Verify actual OD, internal diameter, and socket depth. |
| Connection Type | Socket (Slip) ends: either Slip x Slip (both ends sockets) or possibly Socket x Spigot. |
| Angle of Elbow | Commonly 45° or 90°. Some systems use both depending on required change in direction. |
| Standard / Compliance | Check for standards such as ASTM D2665 (for uPVC drainage) or local equivalent. For example many products list “ASTM D-2665” or “Schedule 40” etc. |
| Maximum Operating Temperature | Many uPVC fittings are rated up to ~60 °C (approx 140 °F) for cold water / drainage use. |
| Wall thickness / Schedule / SDR | For pressure or drainage rating you’ll want to know the wall thickness or schedule class to ensure it’s suitable for the load. |
| Colour / Finish | Typically white or off-white; inner surface should be smooth for flow. |
| Application environment | Underground, above ground, indoor, outdoor, drainage vs pressure water supply — ensure the fitting is suitable for your specific use. |
Example: One listing for a 4″ uPVC elbow (45°) states Material = uPVC, End Type = Slip x Slip, Max Operating Temp = 60 °C, Standard = ASTM D2665.
