PPH Short Radius 90° Bend
A PPH Short Radius 90° Bend is a pipe fitting made from Polypropylene Homopolymer (PPH) that is used to change the direction of fluid flow by 90 degrees, with a short radius curvature typically equal to the pipe diameter (R ≈ 1D).The PPH Short Radius 90° Bend is a precision-engineered pipe fitting used to change the direction of flow by 90 degrees in compact piping layouts. Constructed from Polypropylene Homopolymer (PPH), this bend offers exceptional resistance to corrosive chemicals and is designed for use in tight spaces where a shorter turning radius is needed.
Ideal for use in chemical processing, water treatment, effluent pipelines, and industrial systems, this fitting ensures reliable performance under high chemical and thermal stress. The short radius design minimizes space usage while maintaining smooth flow characteristics.It is a compact elbow-type fitting that allows a sharp 90° turn in pipelines, especially useful where space is limited.
