Description
Turn 40mm pond hose through 90°
Two equal barbed hosetails, joined by a fixed right-angle bend.
This black plastic elbow connects suitable 40mm internal-bore flexible hose where your pond plumbing needs to change direction.
One bare elbow supplied. Hose, clips and equipment are separate.
Read the fitting dimensions separately from hose size
The reference image marks 78mm across one leg and a 38mm-long hosetail section below the bend.
The 38mm figure measures a length. Both hose connections are nominal 40mm; this is not a 40-to-38mm reducer.
Allow extra room for the seated hose, its securing clips and access to inspect the joints. The fitting dimensions alone do not describe the space needed by the complete installation.
Set out a supported corner connection
Match the hose first, then leave room to secure both ends.
Confirm the 40mm bore
Use suitable 40mm internal-bore flexible hose with a compatible wall profile. The hosetails are equal-sized, without a reducing outlet or screw connection.
Support both hose runs
Use the elbow to form the 90° turn, then support the hose beyond each end. Do not pull the runs tight or allow their weight to twist the fitting.
Secure and inspect the joints
Follow the hose and equipment fitting guidance. Choose any clips by the outside diameter of seated hose, keep the connections accessible and check both joints with water before concealing them.
Before ordering the 40mm elbow
Does this elbow fit 38mm pond hose?
This version has two nominal 40mm hosetails for suitable 40mm internal-bore hose. The 38mm and 40mm pond hose ranges are different, even where similar 1½-inch labels appear in their names. Check the metric bore, wall profile and fitting guidance before ordering. The 38mm measurement on the dimension photo is a length along a hosetail, not an alternative hose bore.
What do 78mm and 38mm refer to in the diagram?
The photograph labels 78mm across one leg, from the outside of the bend to the opposite end, and 38mm along the hosetail section below the bend. These dimensions describe the fitting as pictured. Leave additional space for the hoses to seat, for clips and for supported routing beyond the elbow; they are not complete installed clearances.
Can it screw onto a pump or filter?
Both ends are barbed hose connections, not BSP screw threads. Equipment with a threaded port needs a suitable separate adapter between the port and the hose. Treat the equipment thread and the 40mm hose bore as different specifications, and follow the equipment instructions for connection and sealing.
Are clips or hose included?
No. One bare black plastic elbow is supplied. Select hose and a suitable securing method separately, checking any clip against the hose’s outside diameter after it is seated over the barb. Support the hose runs, keep both joints accessible and check them with water before covering or concealing the installation.
