Description
PPR Male Elbow
A PPR Male Elbow is a 90-degree threaded fitting used to change the direction of a PPR pipeline while connecting it to a female-threaded plumbing component. It features a heat-fusion PPR socket on one end and a durable brass male thread on the other, making it ideal for joining PPR pipes to taps, valves, pumps, water meters, and other threaded fittings.
