Product Description

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Brass Female Extension 90° Elbow combines directional change with an extended threaded connection in a single fitting, allowing you to create a right-angle turn while providing extra reach for male threaded fixtures. This specialized fitting features a CPVC socket connection for solvent welding to pipes and an extended brass female threaded section at 90 degrees for accepting male threaded taps, showers, or fixtures that require additional projection from the wall.

The extended brass threading ensures long-term reliability and provides the extra length needed for proper fixture mounting, especially in concealed installations or when fixtures need to project further from the wall surface. Essential for shower installations, wall-mounted taps, and any application requiring both direction change and extended threaded reach. The brass threads provide superior strength and allow for future fixture replacement.

Recommended Applications

• Shower Installations: Wall-mounted shower arms requiring extended reach from concealed piping
• Wall-Mounted Taps: Basin and sink taps needing proper projection from tiled walls
• Concealed Plumbing: Fixtures mounted over finished walls requiring extra thread length
• Fixture Connections: Any application where standard elbows don't provide sufficient reach
• Renovation Projects: Adapting to existing fixture positions with extended connections
• Professional Installations: Commercial applications requiring precise fixture positioning

Installation Guidelines

FAQs

1) What's the difference between extension elbow and regular brass elbow?

An extension elbow has a longer brass threaded section that projects further from the wall, while a regular brass elbow has standard-length threads. Extension elbows are essential for wall-mounted fixtures requiring extra reach, especially in concealed plumbing installations behind tiles or finished walls.

2) How do I read extension elbow sizes?

Extension elbow sizes are typically written as "socket size x thread size". For example, 3/4" x 1/2" means a 3/4" socket for the pipe and 1/2" extended female brass threads. The extension length varies by manufacturer but is typically 25-50mm longer than standard elbows.

3) When should I use an extension elbow instead of a regular elbow?

Use extension elbows when: 1) Installing wall-mounted fixtures over finished walls, 2) Concealed piping is set back from the wall surface, 3) Fixtures need to project further for proper clearance, 4) Tiled walls require extra thread length to reach through tiles and adhesive. Regular elbows work for surface-mounted or exposed installations.

4) Do I need PTFE tape on extension elbows?

Yes, always apply 3-4 wraps of PTFE thread seal tape to the male threads of the fixture before screwing into the extended female brass threads. This ensures a leak-free seal and allows for easier fixture removal in the future.

5) Can extension elbows be used for hot water applications?

Yes, Ashirvad brass extension elbows are rated for hot water service up to 93°C (200°F). They're ideal for shower installations, hot water taps, and geyser connections requiring both direction change and extended reach.
