• Design: U-shaped bend with a 180-degree turn
• Connection Type: Can have threaded ends, socket weld, or flange connections
• Usage: Designed to redirect flow back in the opposite direction

Benefits:

• Allows for a smooth, continuous flow with minimal pressure loss
• Facilitates piping layout changes without multiple fittings
• Durable and corrosion-resistant, especially in stainless steel versions
• Useful in systems requiring frequent flow reversals or compact routing

Typical Uses:

• Chemical and process piping
• Water treatment systems
• HVAC piping
• Industrial fluid transfer systems
