Long Sweep Elbow 90° M/M Galvanized Malleable Iron

The long‑radius 90° Male‑Male (MM) bend in hot-dip galvanized malleable cast iron is a specific fitting for joining two female‑threaded parts with a smooth, progressive 90° change of direction.

What is this Male/Male long‑radius bend used for?

This unique fitting combines the benefits of a long‑radius bend with Male/Male ends. It directly connects two female fittings (tees, elbows, couplings, etc.) without a separate nipple, while delivering a very gentle 90° sweep. Main strengths:

• Optimized flow: Like any long‑radius bend, it minimizes turbulence and pressure loss—ideal for sensitive fluid circuits.
• Compact assembly: Replaces a “FF elbow + 2 nipples” set‑up, simplifying some builds and reducing the number of sealing points.
• Distinctive style: In industrial décor, its continuous, slender shape (without the widening of an FF fitting) offers a particularly fluid look.

Technical Features (EN 10242 Compliance)

Manufactured to EN 10242 for high quality and reliability.

• High‑Quality Material: Malleable cast iron (EN‑GJMW‑400‑5).
• Anti‑Corrosion Protection: Hot‑dip galvanized (approx. 70 µm), ensuring long life and an industrial raw look.
• Taper Sealing Threads (BSPT): Both male threads are taper (R) to ISO 7‑1. This profile seals on the threads when tightened into a female fitting. Sealant is essential.

Installation Tip

Apply sealant (hemp, PTFE tape, etc.) to both male threads before tightening each end into the corresponding female fittings.
