Pressure and suction transmissions
A bend is a pipe component used to change the direction of fluid flow in a piping system – typically at angles of 45° or 90°, but also at special angles when needed. Used on both the pressure and suction side of pumping systems, elbows are customized to the current installation so that pipes or hoses can be routed safely without kinks, tension or leaks.
Bends are particularly useful for temporary bypass pumping where pipelines need to follow terrain, passages or building structures.
Bends allow the fluid to change direction without creating unnecessary pressure loss or turbulence when properly sized. They are available as:
Fixed pipe bends in steel, PE or PVC
Flexible bends in rubber or reinforced plastic
Hose coupling bends with suitable couplings (Bauer, Camlock etc.)
The choice of bend depends on the medium (wastewater, rainwater, chemicals), the pressure in the system and the space available at the installation site.
Make installations flexible and customizable
Minimizes the risk of kinks and damage to hoses and pipes
Ensures smooth flow – without unnecessary pressure loss
Available in many materials and angles
Easy to mount and customize on site
Bypass pumping for sewer work and pipe renovation
Temporary hose routing on construction sites
Stationary installations with limited space
Piping around buildings, trees or traffic
Tanks and manholes where access needs to be changed in height or direction
Bends are available in many materials and dimensions:
Materials:
Galvanized steel (robust and weatherproof)
PE or PVC (lightweight and corrosion-free)
Rubber or plastic (flexible bends for quick solutions)
Angles:
Standard: 45°, 60°, 90°
Special: 30°, 22.5° or segment bends
Connections:
Bauer, Camlock, Storz or flanges
Available with gasket and clamping ring for tight joints
