Elbows

90° 3D Elbow

An extra-long radius elbow (3 times the diameter) for lines where the flow must turn as smoothly as possible. S235 steel to the European standard EN 10253-1, black or galvanized.

90° 3D Elbow

Extra-long-radius 3D 90° elbow for lines that need lower turbulence and pressure loss. Cold-formed from seamless or welded pipe in S235 to EN 10253-1, black or galvanized.

Lower pressure drop, less wear

With a bend radius of 3 times the diameter, a 3D elbow causes less turbulence and pressure drop than a 1.5D elbow, and less erosion on the outer wall when the fluid carries particles. It suits water, irrigation, compressed air and fire protection networks, and any line with many bends in a row.

Our 90° 3D elbows are cold-formed from seamless or welded S235 pipe to EN 10253-1. They come black, to be painted or protected on site, or galvanized for installations exposed to moisture. Wall thickness: 2 to 7.1 mm.

For a line sized to ASME (inches and schedules), see the 90° 1.5D A234 WPB elbow.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a 3D and a 1.5D elbow?

The radius: 3 times the diameter instead of 1.5 times. The 3D elbow takes more space, but the flow loses less pressure and wears the wall less. The 1.5D elbow remains the standard where space is tight.

Can a galvanized elbow be welded?

Yes. Remove the zinc from the weld area (grinding or brushing) and weld in a well-ventilated place, as zinc fumes are toxic. Protect the weld afterwards with a zinc-rich paint.

Seamless or welded: which one?

Both meet EN 10253-1. Seamless elbows, made from seamless pipe, are often preferred for fluids under pressure; welded elbows are well suited to standard water and heating networks.
