Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Sweep Bend (Long Radius Bend)

Ashirvad Flowguard Plus CPVC Sweep Bend provides the smoothest possible 90-degree direction change in CPVC piping systems. Unlike standard elbows with sharp turns, the sweep bend features a long, gradual radius that creates minimal flow resistance and turbulence. This design is particularly beneficial in applications where maintaining flow velocity and minimizing pressure drop are critical.
The extended radius reduces stress on the piping system during direction changes, making it ideal for drainage applications, pump discharge lines, and high-flow distribution systems. The precision-molded construction ensures consistent wall thickness throughout the bend, maintaining full pressure rating. Essential for professional installations requiring optimal hydraulic performance.

Installation Guidelines

Space Planning: Ensure adequate space for long-radius bend (requires more room than standard elbow)

Pipe Preparation: Cut pipes squarely; deburr and chamfer pipe ends at 10-15? angle

Orientation Check: Verify bend direction matches layout before cementing

Solvent Cementing: Apply CPVC solvent cement; insert pipes with quarter turn and hold 30 seconds

Support Installation: Install pipe clamps on both sides of bend to prevent stress on joints
