Structure Fittings Bend

Our Glass Bends are precision-engineered pipeline components designed to change the direction of fluid flow in chemical, laboratory, and industrial piping systems. Manufactured from premium borosilicate glass, these bends ensure transparency, chemical resistance, and vacuum compatibility, making them ideal for laboratory setups, chemical reactors, and modular pipeline systems.

Key Highlights:

• Directional Fluid Control – Y-bends, U-bends, 900° bends, and specialized branches
• Chemical & Thermal Resistance – High-quality borosilicate 3.3 glass withstands corrosive media
• Vacuum Compatible – Maintains integrity under reduced pressure
• Standardized Catalog References – PY, PU, PBT, PUO series for easy selection
• Seamless Integration – Compatible with glass pipeline fittings and structural assemblies

How Glass Bends Work: Step-by-Step Process

1. Select Bend Type & Size – Choose from Y-bends (PY series), U-bends (PU series), or 900° bends with thermometer branch (PBT series) based on your flow requirements.
2. Align With Existing Pipeline – Connect the bend to upstream and downstream tubes ensuring smooth transition and no leakage.
3. Secure & Seal – Use vacuum-compatible seals or clamps for stability in chemical or industrial applications.
4. Flow Testing – Confirm proper directional flow, pressure resistance, and chemical compatibility.
5. Installation & Monitoring – Periodically inspect bends for cracks, alignment, or wear, especially in high-temperature or corrosive setups.

Bends Category & Types

Y-Bends (PY Series)

• Purpose: Split or combine fluid streams at specific angles
• Catalog Codes: PY0.5, PY1, PY3, etc.
• Dimensions: DN (tube diameter), L (length), L1 (overall length)
• Features: Transparent borosilicate surface, smooth internal curvature for laminar flow

U-Bends (PU Series)

• Purpose: Redirect fluid 180° within compact spaces
• Catalog Codes: PU0.5, PU1.5, etc.
• Design: Some models with bottom outlet for drainage or sampling
