Apollo Blue Twister ABTME34 3/4'' Insert T X 3/4'' D Mpt Polypropylene 90 Elbow Simplify plumbing connections in irrigation, drip systems, and low-pressure water applications with the National Brand Alternative ABTME34 3/4-inch Polypropylene Blue Twister Insert 90 x MPT Elbow?a patented, tool-free fitting designed for fast, secure, and reliable connections. This 90 elbow features a unique double-helix twist-in design that allows for quick installation without clamps or tools, making it ideal for connecting polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) pipe to male pipe thread (MPT) fittings, valves, or other threaded components. Constructed from durable, blue polypropylene plastic, this elbow is 100% corrosion-resistant and lead-free, ensuring long-term performance in both indoor and underground applications. Its chemical and UV resistance make it suitable for use in harsh environments, including agricultural, residential, and commercial irrigation systems. The fitting is certified to ASTM D-2609 and ANSI/NSF 14 and 51 standards, confirming its safety and reliability for potable water and food-contact applications. The ABTME34 features a barbed end (3/4") that inserts into flexible poly tubing and a 3/4" MPT (male pipe thread) end that connects to threaded fixtures. By simply twisting the fitting clockwise into the pipe, the patented helix design expands the barb to create a tight, leak-resistant seal. For added security?especially in high-vibration or pressurized setups?it is recommended to use stainless steel clamps to reinforce the connection. This elbow is designed exclusively for cold water use and is not compatible with compressed air, gases, or hot water systems. Its compact size (3.88" H x 1" W x 1.63" D) allows for easy routing in tight spaces, while the blue color provides visual identification within complex piping layouts.
