Boshart UNE-12 1-1/4 in Barb 90 Degree Nylon Insert Elbow

Product Description

The BOSHART UNE-12 is a 1-1/4 inch barb 90-degree nylon insert elbow designed for use with polyethylene pipe systems. This fitting changes flow direction in a piping run without the need for threading or solvent welding. The nylon construction resists corrosion and is well suited for low-pressure water service applications. Plumbers and irrigation technicians install this fitting by pressing the barbed ends into flexible poly pipe, typically secured with stainless clamps. At 0.123 pounds, the UNE-12 is lightweight and easy to handle in confined trench or crawlspace conditions.

This elbow is used in residential and light commercial polyethylene pipe installations, including potable water service lines, irrigation laterals, and agricultural water distribution runs. The 90-degree bend allows direction changes where space or grade requires a turn. It is suited for any application where a barb-style insert fitting is the specified connection method for poly pipe.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style barb insert fitting for use with 1-1/4 inch flexible polyethylene pipe in residential and light commercial piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or irrigation technicians following local code requirements, including IPC guidelines where applicable. Depressurize and drain the line before cutting and fitting insertion. Barbed ends should be fully seated into the poly pipe, and each connection should be secured with appropriately sized stainless steel clamps to prevent pullout under operating pressure. Do not exceed the pressure rating of the polyethylene pipe or fittings in the system.
