Male threaded elbow, Dn17*3/4" (KNR 17x3/4")

Engineered fitting for robust irrigation

The 90-degree elbow with 3/4" male thread (Dn17x3/4") by Santechplast is a precision-engineered fitting designed for secure connections in drip irrigation networks. It serves as an interface between a 17mm distribution pipe and various flow control components, such as valves, filters, or irrigation controllers equipped with 3/4" female ports.

Design and Technical Specifications

• Flow Dynamics: The internal geometry of the elbow is optimized to ensure laminar flow, minimizing turbulence and pressure drops common in sharp-angle fittings. This is critical for maintaining consistent output along long lateral irrigation lines.
• Durable Material: Manufactured by Santechplast from high-density polypropylene, the fitting features excellent resistance to UV radiation and chemical fertilizers typically used in fertigation, ensuring long-term structural integrity in harsh field conditions.
• Secure Sealing Mechanism: The 17mm pipe entry point features a high-retention compression system. When the nut is tightened, it creates a hermetic seal that prevents pipe "blowouts" under surge pressure, typically rated for standard agricultural irrigation systems up to 4–6 bar.

By utilizing this elbow, installers can eliminate pipe kinks that often restrict flow and cause uneven water distribution. The component is designed for multiple assembly and disassembly cycles, making it a reliable, reusable solution for professional irrigation systems in both open fields and greenhouses.
