Product overview
What it does, and where it fits.
A plain U bend traps liquid at its lowest point. Adding a bottom outlet turns that trap into a usable feature: the leg can be drained down, sampled, or fitted with an instrument.
The datasheet lists seven combinations with separate DN and DN1 bores and two dimensions, L and L1. Note that some combinations reduce the outlet — LSPUO2/1, for example, is a DN 50 U bend with a DN 25 outlet.
Features
Built into every unit.
- 180° return with a drain or sampling branch at the base
- Seven combinations, DN 15 to DN 80, with reduced outlet options
- Separate L and L1 setting-out dimensions
- Borosilicate 3.3 with beaded ends
Benefits
Why it earns its place in the line.
- Removes the un-drainable trap of a plain U bend
- Gives a natural low-point sampling position
- 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

FAQ
Questions we are asked about this item.
The datasheet lists DN 80 only with a DN 25 outlet (LSPUO3/1). Tell us if you need a larger outlet at that bore and we will confirm what can be made.
The dimension down to the bottom outlet face. Use it with L to set the fitting out and to check the drain height above the floor or receiver.
