The Philmac Female Elbow IPS-OD (ASTM D3035) provides a convenient way to make a 90-degree turn while transitioning from HDPE/polyethylene pipe to a male-threaded fitting or component. It combines a Philmac compression connection with a female threaded outlet, making it especially useful at troughs, valves, manifolds, and other water-system connection points.
Designed for livestock watering, rotational grazing, irrigation, and farm water systems, the fitting provides a dependable transition without requiring gluing or heat fusion on the HDPE side.
Key Features
90° Compression-to-Threaded Connection: Changes water-line direction while transitioning from HDPE pipe to a male-threaded component.
Female Threaded Outlet: Provides a convenient connection point for compatible male-threaded valves, adapters, and plumbing components.
230 PSI Rated: Suitable for water systems operating at pressures up to 230 PSI.
NSF 61 Certified: Suitable for potable water applications.
ASTM D3035 IPS-OD Compatible: Designed for compatible IPS-OD polyethylene pipe manufactured to ASTM D3035.
No Glue or Heat Fusion: Compression connection provides a secure mechanical attachment to compatible HDPE pipe.
Ideal for Trough Installations: Useful where a water line needs to turn 90° and connect directly to a threaded valve or other component.
Rotational Grazing Ready: Well suited for pasture water systems supplying multiple paddocks and livestock watering locations.
