Y Bends

Y Bends

Bhanu Scientific Glass Co. offers precision-engineered Y-Bends for industrial and laboratory piping systems. These components are designed for fluid splitting or combining at an angle, ensuring smooth flow, chemical resistance, and full transparency.

Y-Bends are Y-shaped glass pipe components that redirect fluid flow at angles (commonly 45° or 60°) and are widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, and R&D piping systems. Their design allows merging or splitting of streams with minimal turbulence and pressure drop. Made from borosilicate glass 3.3, they offer high chemical inertness, thermal resistance, and full visual monitoring.
