Grooved 90° Elbows
A grooved 90° elbow turns the pipeline at a right angle with a ductile iron body cast with grooved ends. The ends are joined with couplings, so no welding, threading or flanges are needed.
Available from 1¼” to 12″, the elbows are used where sprinkler risers turn into horizontal lines, on pump suction and discharge legs and at ceiling crossings. A coupling is used at each end; the elbow itself has no gasket.
Main Applications
- Transition from riser to horizontal line
- Pump suction and discharge legs
- Direction changes at ceilings and walls
- Hose cabinet supply lines
- Cooling water distribution lines
Technical Data
| Angle | 90° |
|---|---|
| Connection | Both ends grooved; joined with couplings |
| Size | 1¼”, 1½”, 2″, 2½”, 3″, 4″, 5″, 6″, 8″, 10″, 12″ (product range) |
| Body | Ductile iron GGG 40.3 (manufacturer data) |
| Gasket | None on the elbow; coupling gasket is used |
| Finish | Painted (by model) |
| Compatibility | Rigid and flexible couplings |
| Working pressure | Per the coupling and pipe used |
Material Options
| Part | 90° elbow |
|---|---|
| Body | Ductile iron GGG 40.3, one-piece casting |
| Ends | Grooved, coupling connection |
| Sealing | EPDM gasket of the joining coupling |
| Finish | Painted (by model) |
Which material? The elbow has no sealing element of its own; a coupling of the same size is used at each end and the gasket is chosen for the medium through the coupling.
Advantages
Weld-Free Turn
- Direction change made with couplings
One-Piece Casting
- No weld seam on the body
Easy Replacement
- Remove the couplings to take out the elbow
Standard Sizes
- 11 sizes from 1¼” to 12″
Construction and Design Features
- One-piece ductile iron elbow body
- Factory-machined grooves at both ends
- Outside diameter suited to coupling connection
- Inner bend that turns the flow smoothly

How to Choose?
- Set the sizeChoose the elbow for the connected pipe size.
- Count the couplingsPlan two couplings per elbow.
- Choose the coupling typeUse flexible couplings at vibrating points and rigid ones on straight runs.
- Pick the gasket by mediumSpecify the gasket with the coupling order.
