Elbow 90 deg

Heading section

90 degree elbow, also called "90 bends or 90 ells", are manufactured as SR (Short Radius) elbows and LR (Long Radius) elbows. SR (Short Radius) elbows have a Center-to-Face dimension of 1.0 X diameter and are typically used in tight areas where clearances are an issue. LR (Long Radius) elbows have a Center-to-Face dimension of 1.5 X diameter and are the more common type and used when space is available and flow is more critical.
This is a fitting device which is bent in such a way to produce 90 degree change in the direction of flow of the content in the pipe. An Elbow is used to change the direction in piping and is also sometimes called a "quarter bend".
A 90 degree elbow attaches readily to plastic, copper, cast iron, steel and lead. It can also attach to rubber with stainless steel clamps. Available in many materials like silicon, rubber compounds, galvanized steel etc, they connect rigid or IMC circuit together to allow for 90 degree bends.
Our organization is engaged in offering a quality range of Elbow 90 Deg, which is also known as 90 bends or 90 ells.” We procure our range from prominent vendors, who ensure to manufacture these in compliance with international quality standards. These are categorized into SR (short radius) elbows and LR (long radius) elbows. The SR elbow is available with a center-to-face dimension of 1.0 X diameter and mainly used in tight areas where clearance is required. Further, our LR elbows have center-to-face dimension of 1.5 X diameter, which is used when space is available and flow is more critical. These elbow fitting are generally used to change the direction in piping and are also known as "quarter bend". Our range of elbow is bent in a way to create 90-degree change in the direction of flow of content in the pipe. These are used to connect hoses to valves, water pressure pumps, and deck drains forged fittings.

Applications

90 degree elbow find frequent applications are:

The main application area of an elbow (90 degree) is to connect hoses to valves, water pressure pumps, and deck drains. These elbows can be made from tough nylon material or NPT thread.

Features

  • A 90 degree elbow is ideal for plastic, copper, cast iron, steel and lead
  • It can also be attached to rubber with stainless steel clamps
  • It can be made using tough nylon material or NPT thread
  • The elbow is available in many material like silicon, rubber compounds and galvanized steel and connects rigid or IMC circuit together to allow for 90 degree bends.

Fitting Size Specifications:

The standard specifications of pipe fittings that are globally accepted are Metric and Standard English.

Given below are a variety of choices available according to industry standards and customer advantage.

Metric Sizes

Metric sizes measure in millimeter and vary from as small as 10mm to as large as 1000mm.

<10mm
10mm - 20mm
20mm - 30mm
30mm - 40mm
40mm - 50mm
50mm - 100mm
100mm - 200mm
200mm - 500mm
500mm - 1000mm
>1000mm

Standard English Sizes:

Standard English sizes are calibrated in inches and their size ranges from 1/8" to 36".

MMmET
1/8" 2" 10" 26"

Fitting End Criteria

Pipe Thread - Male

In this category, tapered pipe threads like NPT, BSPT etc are used which are basically for the purpose of sealing without gaskets.

Pipe Thread - Female

Pipe Thread - Female is same as Pipe Thread - Male. Here too, tapered pipe threads such as NPT, BSPT, etc are used which is specifically for sealing without gaskets.

Straight Thread - Male

Male Straight pipe threads such as UNC, UNF, ASME, etc form Straight Thread - Male.

Straight Thread - Female

Female Straight Thread - Female also includes straight pipe threads such as UNC, UNF, ASME, etc.

Plain End

Plain End is used to insert into the bell end of the connecting pipe.

Bell / Socket / Flare

It is the end length of increased diameter into which a pipe end can be fitted.

Flange

There are two types of flanges, circular and square. These are used to connect fitting, typically via bolting or welding.

Compression Fitting

Compression fitting includes compression nut and ferrule by which it connects to a mating pipe.

Pipe Clamp End

Pipe Clamp End is designed in such a way so that it is attached to run on pipe or other fitting.

Barb / Rib

Barbs and ridges comprise fitting ends. They connect only non-rigid pipe or hose, or sometimes used with a clamped end.

Groove

Groove is for the installation of a coupling feature such as an o-ring or elastomeric seal.

Features Criteria

Lined Pipe Fittings

In order to protect pipes against the unwanted deterioration and to enhance the properties of the fittings, there are a number of lining options that are avaiable in the market. Lined pipe fittings are manufactured with an integral lining that are mostly made from engineered polymers used with process materials or with other applications like food processing. It is done taking into consideration the importance of cleanliness and hygiene factors.

The lining material selected for the service is generally inert and has suitable and broad temperature ranges. Most severe service applications can be handled by using corrosion and abrasion resistant ceramic materials. Some of the popular lining products are PP, PVDF, ECTFE, ETFE, PTFE, PFA, MFA etc.

Plated Pipe Fittings

Pipe fittings are that are plated with different materials in order to impart the required properties are called plated pipe fittings. These are mostly plated with materials such as nickel and chrome.

These platings are used to prevent corrosion and also to improve the exterior appearance of the pipe. They also help in increasing the longetivity of the pipes and it is enhanced significantly if the plating is done with a durable material of good quality.

Underground Rated Pipe Fittings

These pipe fittings are designed and constructed for underground application. Since the application of these pipes is below the ground, some rules have been formulated. It is mandatory that underground piping shall be buried not less than 18 inches below the surface of the ground unless otherwise protected, and shall be adequately coated or otherwise protected against corrosion. Pipe coated as follows will be considered acceptable if it is:

  • Clean and prime.
  • Coated with asphalt enamel.
  • Wraped with forty-pound felt or Kraft paper.

Though materials like PVC or CPVC can be used, it is advisable to use ABS as it a heavy-duty plastic pipe and can successfully meet the requirements of underground drainage and sewer applications.
