FORMUFIT F11445E-UV Elbow PVC Fitting, Furniture Grade, 45 Degree, 1-1/4″ Size, Clear

Description

Product Overview

The FORMUFIT F11445E-UV elbow PVC fitting is crafted from a single‑piece, UV‑resistant Furniture Grade PVC that guarantees long‑lasting clarity and structural integrity. Designed to accommodate 1‑1/4″ nominal pipe with an outside diameter of 1‑5/8″ (1.660″), this 45° elbow provides a precise directional change while maintaining a smooth, glossy surface that resists yellowing, cracking, and degradation even under continuous exposure to sunlight and harsh chemicals. The injection‑molded construction ensures uniform wall thickness and consistent socket depth, delivering a leak‑free connection that aligns perfectly with other FORMUFIT components, preserving the same fit, finish, and color across the entire product line.

Beyond its robust material composition, the fitting features tapered sockets that create a professional, secure seal when joined with compatible barbed or Luer‑type connectors. The clear finish not only offers visual confirmation of fluid flow but also simplifies inspection and maintenance tasks, allowing technicians to quickly identify blockages or wear without disassembly. With package dimensions of 2.3 x 2.3 x 1.8 inches and a lightweight 0.8‑ounce profile, the fitting is easy to handle, store, and integrate into a wide range of hydraulic, pneumatic, and fluid‑transfer systems.

Usage

Ideal for laboratory equipment, medical device assemblies, and industrial fluid control, this elbow fitting excels in environments where reliability and visual clarity are paramount. Its UV‑resistant properties make it suitable for outdoor installations such as irrigation systems, greenhouse ventilation, and outdoor pneumatic tools, where exposure to sunlight can compromise lesser‑quality PVC components. The 45° angle facilitates compact routing of tubing, reducing space requirements in crowded panels or confined enclosures, while the clear material enables real‑time monitoring of fluid movement, aiding in troubleshooting and quality control processes.

Professionals in the manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace sectors also benefit from the fitting’s durability and ease of installation. Whether used in prototype development, production line automation, or maintenance of existing equipment, the FORMUFIT elbow provides a dependable connection that minimizes downtime. Its compatibility with standard 1‑1/4″ PVC pipe and a variety of barbed adapters ensures seamless integration into existing infrastructure, allowing engineers to retrofit or upgrade systems without the need for specialized tools or extensive re‑engineering.
