120 degree elbows for 2mm pipe

Aug 28, 2009 10 Replies

Can anyone suggest a source of 120 degree elbows for 22mm (plastic) pipe?


I'm running 22mm Hep2o pipes from under a timber floor into a kitchen with a solid floor. Because of the layout, the only way I can do it is to drill holes at 30 degrees the horizontal (between the floor void and the edge of the solid kitchen floor); where the pipes come out, they are pointing upwards at 30 degrees, and I want them to then run horizontally.


I know I could use 135 degree elbows rotated a bit, but this would then make the pipework skew. The Hep2o pipes are flexible, but would still have to have tight bends, which I'd prefer to avoid. The only way I can think of is to use 120 degree elbows but I can't find any.


Thanks

And before any wise cracks about small tools, the title should of course have said 22mm, not 2mm.

I've never seen 120 degree elbows for this stuff. Couldn't you adapt to Cu and use a flexi?

Sadly I took it for real and have just spent some time in Google researching pipes!

Ho-hum.

I can't find any 120 degree elbows either, Your idea of the 'flexi' copper is good. I've seen them in 15mm but not 22mm - I'll have a search. Cheers

I will check things better before pressing 'send' in future. However only the title was wrong; the actual message explicitly states 22mm (twice!).

I guess you didn't read the message, only the heading. I highly recommend actually reading a post before doing any work! E.g. I could have been referring to plastic or stainless steel or copper pipe. Even if I hadn't made the mistake, you would have needed to have read the actual message before knowing the details of what to look for. Thanks for the time spent anyway.

22mm is still a small tool...............

Struggling to visualise ( a picture is worth a thousand words.. ); but from how I imagine this, cant't you use 2 90 elbows with a short stub inbetween, and rotate to any angle you want?

Thanks Ron. That should work. Good idea.

Am I missing something here? I thought half the attraction of the plastic pipe was you can bend it round corners...

Use copper and bend it to suit. Then adaptors either end.
