CPVC Short Radius 45° Bend
A CPVC Short Radius 45° Bend is a pipe fitting made from Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride (CPVC) that is used to change the direction of flow in a piping system by 45 degrees with a shorter radius curvature compared to a standard 45° elbow. It is commonly used in compact piping layouts where space is limited, and a quick directional change is required. This fitting is widely used in hot and cold water systems, industrial piping, and chemical processing applications due to the corrosion resistance, chemical resistance, and high temperature tolerance of CPVC material.
The CPVC Short Radius 45° Bend is a precision-molded pipe fitting designed to change the direction of flow by 45 degrees in a CPVC piping system, where space is limited, and a compact turning radius is required. This bend is engineered for high performance in hot and cold water distribution systems, chemical processing lines, and other industrial fluid applications. Its short radius design allows for tighter installations without compromising flow efficiency or structural integrity.
