Product Overview
The Metal 45° Bend is a galvanized metal elbow bend designed with two male spigots that fit inside flexible hoses or round pipes. It is best used with galvanized steel spiral ducting (P100M-1) for various ventilation systems, including kitchen and bathroom extractor fans, in-line extract fans, HVAC, and heat recovery systems. Manufactured in the UK from high-quality materials, this bend offers superior durability for both domestic and commercial applications.
Key Features
✔ Galvanized Steel Construction – Provides superior strength and durability
✔ Versatile Use – Ideal for a wide range of ventilation systems, including air conditioning and passive stack vents
✔ No Rubber Seals – Supplied without rubber seals (sold separately)
Performance
- Superior Airflow – Offers better airflow compared to rectangular or flexible PVC or aluminium ducts
- Complies with Building Regulations – Meets Part F Building Regulations for ventilation systems
- Ideal for Larger Ductwork – Best suited for larger installations due to its strength
Compatibility
- Compatible with most other leading manufacturers of galvanized metal ducting
Installation
- Apply duct sealant to the male fitting
- Push the bend together to secure the connection
- Cover the joint with aluminium duct sealing tape for a durable, airtight seal
Insulation of Ductwork
- Cold Areas – Ducts in colder areas (e.g., loft spaces) should be insulated with a 25mm thick layer of duct wrap to prevent condensation
- Warm Spaces – Even without loft spaces, insulated ducting should be used on intake and exhaust legs carrying cold air through warmer spaces. This can be achieved with 25mm duct wrap featuring a silver foil face over 25mm rockwool
