Product overview
What it does, and where it fits.
A 45° bend changes direction with less turbulence and pressure drop than a right angle, and two of them offset a run neatly around an obstruction.
The datasheet covers DN 15 to DN 100, and notes that bends in 10° and 80° are also available with the same dimensions — the 10° being the usual way to introduce a shallow fall into a long horizontal run.
Features
Built into every unit.
- Gentler turn than a 90° bend — lower pressure drop
- DN 15 to DN 100, Type A up to DN 50 and Type B from DN 80
- Centre to face 50 mm to 175 mm
- 10° and 80° bends available with the same dimensions
Benefits
Why it earns its place in the line.
- Completely inert to almost all process media — no metal pick-up and no contamination of the batch
- Full visibility of the process along the whole line
- Smooth, non-wetting bore that resists fouling and cleans easily
- Excellent thermal shock resistance from borosilicate 3.3
- Modular flanged construction — sections can be swapped without cutting or welding
Applications & industries

Typical applications
- Offsets and gentle direction changes

FAQ
Questions we are asked about this item.
That is what the datasheet states. It is used to put a shallow, controlled fall into a long horizontal run so it drains.
DN 100. Above that the range moves to 90° bends — send your layout if you need a large-bore shallow turn.
