elbow
The elbow is the region between the upper and lower parts of the arm that surrounds the elbow joint. The elbow includes prominent landmarks such as the olecranon, the elbow pit, and the lateral and the medial epicondyles of the humerus. The elbow joint is a hinge joint between the upper arm and the forearm; more specifically between the humerus in the upper arm and the radius and ulna in the forearm which allows the forearm and hand to be moved towards and away from the body.The term elbow is specifically used for humans and other primates, and in other vertebrates forelimb plus joint is used.The name for the elbow in Latin is cubitus, and so the word cubital is used in some elbow-related terms, as in cubital nodes for example.
In the photo there is a grey 32mm push fit elbow between the sink trap and down pipe. I want to replace the elbow with a "male" push fit tee attached to an air admittance valve to stop gurgling noises.

Hi,
I'm replacing an old concealed shower mixer valve which dripped. Trouble is the pipe inlet spacing is fixed at 130mm and the outlet pipe sits in between the two behind a wall panel. Finding an exact match for the pipe spacing is proving a challenge, but I've come across a few which can be...

My wife noticed water on the floor in our basement. What I can see is that the elbow is cracked where a 1.5" down pipe enters a 4" pipe that goes beneath the basement concrete floor.
