Product Highlights

• Material: CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride)
• Configuration: 90° elbow with size reduction
• Temperature Rating: Up to 93°C (200°F)
• Pressure Rating: SDR-11 (PN 15 / 15 kg/cm²)
• Connection: Socket type (Solvent Weld) - Two different sizes

Product Description

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Reducer 90° Elbow combines directional change and size reduction in a single fitting, allowing you to create a right-angle turn while simultaneously reducing to a smaller pipe diameter. This fitting features two socket connections of different sizes at 90 degrees to each other, optimizing pipe sizing throughout the distribution system while changing direction.

The precision-molded design ensures smooth flow transitions despite the combined direction change and size reduction. Essential for creating properly sized branch lines from main distribution pipes where space is limited or where combining functions simplifies installation. Compatible with all Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC pipes when installed with recommended solvent cement.

Recommended Applications

• Main to Branch Transitions: Turning from larger main line to smaller branch line in single fitting
• Fixture Supply Lines: Reducing from 3/4" main to 1/2" fixture supply while changing direction
• Space-Efficient Installations: Combining direction change and reduction where space is limited
• Riser Connections: Transitioning from vertical riser to horizontal branch with size reduction
• Multi-Bathroom Distribution: Creating properly sized branches to individual bathrooms
• Cost Optimization: Eliminating separate elbow and reducer fittings

Installation Guidelines

FAQs

1) How do I read reducer elbow sizes?

Reducer elbow sizes are typically written as "inlet x outlet". For example, 3/4" x 1/2" means the inlet (larger) socket is 3/4" and the outlet (smaller) socket is 1/2". The larger size is always listed first, representing the main line connection.

2) Can I use a reducer elbow instead of separate elbow and reducer?

Yes, a reducer elbow combines both functions in one fitting, saving installation time, reducing material costs, and eliminating one potential leak point. It's the preferred solution when you need both direction change and size reduction.

3) Does a reducer elbow affect water pressure more than a regular elbow?

A reducer elbow creates slightly more pressure drop than a regular elbow due to the combined size reduction and direction change. However, for properly sized systems, the impact is minimal and within acceptable limits for residential plumbing.

4) Which end is which on a reducer elbow?

The larger socket opening is clearly visible compared to the smaller one. When installing, the larger socket connects to the main line and the smaller socket connects to the branch line. Always dry-fit before cementing to verify correct orientation.

5) Can reducer elbows be used in any orientation?

Yes, reducer elbows can be installed horizontally, vertically, or at any angle as long as the 90° direction change meets your layout requirements. Ensure proper pipe support on both sides of the fitting.
