6" Grooved 90° Long Radius Elbow – Ductile Iron, UL/FM Approved

6" Grooved 90° Long Radius Elbow – Ductile Iron

The 6 inch grooved 90-degree long radius elbow is engineered for high-flow fire protection and mechanical piping systems. Designed with a wide 1.5D sweep, this elbow provides a smooth directional change that reduces pressure loss, internal wear, and flow turbulence — perfect for maintaining efficiency in large-diameter pipelines.

Why Choose a Long Radius Elbow?

Long radius elbows offer better flow characteristics than short radius versions by creating less resistance and minimizing fluid disruption. The 1.5D bend radius is ideal for systems where high-volume water movement, reduced noise, and minimal stress on fittings are required.
