The Elbows are used when needing to make a 90 degree turn. The standard elbow is used when working with HDPE to HDPE. You would use the female elbow if you were going from HDPE to and threaded fitting such as a quick coupler valve or to PVC. You can add reducing bushings to the female elbows if you are needing to decrease size.
There are 2 types of HDPE pipe. Inside control diameter (ASTM D2239) and Outside control diameter (ASTM D-3035).
We only supply Outside Control Diameter HDPE Pipe.
Philmac fittings we carry are made for the outside control diameter pipe.
Rated to 230psi: 3G compression fittings are pressure rated to 230 psi to meet the need of the high pressure systems.
50 Year+ Design Life: Built to withstand the toughest conditions to ensure longevity and durability, 3G compression fittings have a 50 year+ design life
HIGH PERFORMANCE Made from advanced thermoplastic materials: 3G ID Series compression fittings are manufactured from lightweight high performance thermoplastic materials which, unlike metal fittings, resist corrosion, therefore significantly minimizing maintenance, repairs, and long-term costs. The materials are non-toxic and taint-free and also offer outstanding impact, UV, and chemical resistance.
***We can Special Order the CTS-OD and the IPS-ID fittings but you must call those orders in as they are a Special Order and there are no returns on those items. ***
