Long 45° bends SDR11

The long 45° PE bend is used for changing direction in pressurised PE pipe systems, for example water and gas pipelines. The bend is injection moulded in PE100 and is available in pressure class PN16/SDR11 and PN10/SDR17, where the PN10 version covers the larger sizes. The range covers pipes with outside diameters from 25 mm up to 315 mm, meaning the same bend type can be used from service pipes to larger mains. The long design gives extra wall length at both ends, meaning the bend can be welded either with an electrofusion coupler or directly by butt fusion.
