When to Use Insert Elbows
Insert elbows for sprinkler systems are fittings used to connect two sections of tubing or pipe at an angle. These fittings are essential for routing water around corners or obstacles within the irrigation system. They can also help you make the most of your space. By fitting pipes into tight spaces or around obstacles like garden beds, trees, or pathways, your sprinkler system will be less obtrusive in your landscape. On top of that, elbow pipe fittings are easy to install, making them ideal for DIY irrigation projects.
Insert Elbow FAQs
What are insert elbows made of?
Most of the sprinkler elbows at Sprinkler Warehouse are made of PVC. This material is preferred because it is strong, rigid, and excellent for high pressure systems. PVC is also resistant to corrosion and chemical exposure.
How do I install an insert elbow?
Start by cutting your irrigation tube cleanly using a pipe cutter or sharp utility knife. Next, push the barbed ends of the elbow firmly into the tubing. If the connection isn’t tight enough, secure it with hose clamps or crimp rings for added stability. Remember to test the system for leaks before letting it run.
Can insert elbows handle high water pressure?
Elbow pipe fittings are designed to handle the pressures of most irrigation systems. However, if you have a large-scale or high-pressure system, make sure that you secure your connections with clamps. While the barbed ends of a poly elbow provide a tight fit, using clamps ensures a leak-free and secure connection.
