Double flange 90° duck foot bend is a common pipe fitting in pipeline systems, with unique structural and functional characteristics.
Firstly, the "double flange" is a flat, circular, plate-like construction with many connecting holes arranged around its circumference. Double flange means that the pipe fitting is equipped with flange components at both ends, which can firmly connect with other components in the pipeline system. In order to guarantee proper connection sealing and stop leaks, bolts are typically utilized to go through the flange's holes, and a gasket is positioned in the center.
Furthermore, the "90°" angle characteristic means that the pipe fitting can shift the direction of fluid or gas flow inside the pipeline by 90°. This is essential for pipeline planning, such as in industrial pipeline layout or building water supply and drainage systems. When it is necessary to make the pipeline bypass obstacles or guide the fluid flow in a specific direction, this 90° turning function comes in handy.
Finally, there is the unique shape of the 'duck foot bend', which has a form similar to a duck's paw. Compared to a regular 90° bend, its appearance is flatter and wider. On the one hand, it performs well in space utilization. When installing pipelines in places with limited space, such as bathrooms and kitchens, duck foot bends can more conveniently achieve a reasonable layout. On the other hand, its special shape can also generate relatively less turbulence when fluids or gases pass through, which helps to transport media more smoothly and reduce the energy loss caused by turbulence.
In practical application scenarios, double flange 90° duck foot bend is widely used in many fields, such as water supply and drainage systems, HVAC systems, and industrial piping systems. They are crucial to the logical design and effective functioning of different pipes.
