180° elbow applications: Compact radiator returns. Direction reversal cooling circuits. Heat exchanger serpentine connections. Return loops hydraulic circuits. Space-saving solutions tight engine compartment.
Product advantages: Ultra-compact U-turn configuration. Optimized bend radius avoids kinking. Simple installation two clamps. Permanent shape retention high temperature. Colors blue, black, red. New condition, REDOX Silicone Universal brand.
Why use a 180° elbow? 180° elbow allows complete direction reversal in minimal space. Essential radiator returns, serpentine connections, circuits requiring tight U-turn. More compact solution than two assembled 90° elbows. Maintains optimal flow despite extreme curvature.
Which lengths are available? Standard length 3.94" for diameters 0.39-2", sufficient majority applications. Length 4.92" for diameters 2.36-3.15", necessary wider bend radius. Version 5.9" available 2.13" for specific applications. Length measured elbow center to extremity each leg.
How to avoid elbow kinking? REDOX calculated bend radius avoids self-kinking. Important respect recommended clamp diameters. Never force installation. Position clamps at extremities, not on curvature. Central support if important vibrations. Check absence hot parts contact.
Does 180° elbow create pressure losses? Yes, 180° configuration generates more important pressure losses than other angles. REDOX design minimizes impact with optimized internal profile. For high performance applications, consider increasing diameter or using two spaced 90° elbows.
Which diameters are most used? Diameters 0.63-0.98" popular auxiliary cooling circuits. 1.26-1.77" frequent main radiator returns. 2-3" used large engines, industrial applications. 3.15-4" special applications, competition, marine.
Reinforced construction large diameters? Yes, diameters >2.36" construction 4-ply (0.20" wall). Diameters >3.15" version 5-ply extra-robust. High-tenacity polyester support. Resists high pressures/vacuums, continuous vibrations, repeated thermal cycles.
Compatible modern coolants? Perfectly compatible all coolants: water, glycol, anticorrosion additives. Resists acid/base pH modern fluids. No degradation permanent fluid contact up to 356°F. Lifespan over 15 years normal use.
Applications other than automotive? Numerous industrial applications: machine tools, hydraulic groups, compressors, heat exchangers. Marine: boat engine cooling circuits. Agriculture: tractors, harvesters. Generator sets, refrigeration installations.
