U Bends with Bottom Outlet

U Bends with Bottom Outlet

Bhanu Scientific Glass Co. offers precision-engineered U Bends with Bottom Outlet, ideal for vacuum lines, chemical pipelines, and process vessels where smooth fluid direction change and controlled drainage are required.

The U Bend with Bottom Outlet is a borosilicate glass 3.3 pipeline component designed to:

• Redirect fluid flow 180° smoothly
• Allow complete drainage through a bottom outlet
• Integrate with reactors, condensers, and other glass pipeline systems

This component is widely used in:

• Solvent recovery systems
• Vacuum distillation setups
• Laboratory and pilot plant pipelines
• Chemical and pharmaceutical processing

Its smooth internal surface ensures minimal pressure drop and allows visual monitoring of flow, making it perfect for corrosive and sensitive fluids.
