Description
The Universal Compression Elbow is designed to connect MDPE pipe to a wide variety of pipe materials—such as PVC, ABS, copper, stainless steel, galvanised iron, and lead—at a 90° angle. Ideal for directional changes in mixed-material systems, this versatile fitting is supplied pre-assembled and includes a built-in pipe liner for enhanced sealing and joint stability. Stainless steel grip teeth within the UTC ends deliver excellent end-load resistance, ensuring a secure and long-lasting connection. Suitable for potable and non-potable cold water systems, the universal elbow is quick to install with no specialist tools required.
