2-1/2" Grooved 90° Long Radius Elbow – Ductile Iron, UL/FM Approved

2-1/2" Grooved 90° Long Radius Elbow – Ductile Iron

This 2-1/2 inch grooved 90-degree long radius elbow is engineered for use in fire protection, HVAC, and mechanical piping systems requiring smooth directional flow. Its extended sweep reduces turbulence, friction loss, and stress on system components, making it ideal for high-performance applications.

What Makes a Long Radius Elbow Different?

Unlike short radius elbows, long radius fittings provide a wider, more gradual curve—typically 1.5 times the pipe diameter. This design minimizes flow disruption, which helps maintain pressure, reduces wear, and improves overall hydraulic performance in the system.
