A union elbow is a type of plumbing fitting used to connect two pipes at an angle, typically 90 degrees. It consists of two female threaded ends and a middle section that allows for rotation and adjustment.
Union elbow compression fittings, also known as double ferrule fittings or meter fittings, are used for connecting pipes. They are compatible with standard double ferrule fittings.
A union elbow is a plumbing fitting designed to join two pipes at a typically 90-degree angle. It features two female threaded ends and a central section that permits rotation and adjustment. The threaded ends are intended for connection to pipes or other fittings with male-threaded connections. This fitting offers a simple solution for changing the direction of a pipe without requiring complex piping configurations or additional fittings.
Union elbows come in various types, each designed for specific applications and configurations. Here are the primary types of union elbows along with other common elbow types:
Standard Union Elbow:
L-90° Union Elbow: A basic 90-degree elbow with a union joint for easy disassembly.
T-Union Elbow: This combines a T-joint with union fittings, allowing for three-way connections with the option to easily disconnect one of the branches.
Long Radius Union Elbow:
Long Radius 90° Union Elbow: Similar to a standard 90° elbow but with a longer curve to reduce friction and pressure drop.
