Round Duct Bends and Elbows: Pressed and Segmented
90, 60, 45, 30 and 15 degree bends, pressed in the small sizes and segmented in the larger ones
Overview
What it is for
Small bends are pressed from two half shells, so the inside is smooth and the radius is tight. From about Ø250 up they are segmented: rings locked together into a gored bend, which is the practical way to make larger sizes.
As an example from a recent export order: Ø150 bends pressed from 0.5 mm, Ø200 pressed from 0.6 mm and Ø250 segmented from 0.5 mm, all galvanised Z80 with a rubber seal fitted at the factory, in 90 and 45 degrees.
Bends nest. On that order the Ø150 and Ø200 bends travelled inside the Ø250 bends in the same carton, so three diameters took the space of one. Ask for nested packing when you send your take-off.
Make it yourself or buy it finished? If you run your own round duct, our SBTF-1602 spiral tubeformer and SBEM-1250 elbow machine make spiral pipe and bends in house. Many shops do both: make the high-volume sizes and buy the awkward fittings finished. See also how duct fittings are made.

Frequently asked questions
About bends and elbows
Pressed or segmented: which do I get?
Small diameters come pressed, larger ones segmented. On a recent order the split was pressed up to Ø200 and segmented from Ø250. If your specification asks for one type, tell us and we confirm it per diameter.
Are the seals fitted?
Yes. The rubber seal is fitted on the spigot at the factory, so the bend pushes into the duct ready to go.
How are bends packed?
In export cartons. Smaller bends can be nested inside larger ones in the same carton, which cuts the volume a lot.
How long does production take?
Production time depends on the item mix and quantity and is confirmed at quotation. As a guide, a recent mixed order of about 1,900 bends and dampers was produced in 50 working days.
Do you have a price list?
No. Fittings are quoted per order from your take-off, because the price depends on the diameter, gauge, coating and quantity of each line. Send the list and we quote every line.
