The ELGEF Plus 90 degrees bend in PE100 SDR11 by Georg Fischer is a high-performance spigot fitting manufactured from seamless high-density polyethylene pipe. Engineered for critical pressure piping systems in municipal water distribution, natural gas networks, and industrial process lines, this fitting delivers exceptional hydraulic efficiency and long-term mechanical reliability. With a nominal pressure rating of PN16 bar for water and PN10 bar for gas applications, it provides an uncompromising piping solution across an extensive dimensional range from d32 mm up to d900 mm (DN25 to DN900). As an authorised Georg Fischer distributor, BigWeld supplies this comprehensive product series to utility contractors and industrial installers requiring certified, premium-grade components.

Manufactured with a 1.5d bending radius (R = 1.5 × d), this seamless pipe bend provides smooth internal transitions that significantly minimise hydraulic friction, turbulence, and localized pressure loss compared to standard tight-radius elbows. Wall thicknesses range from 2.9 mm on smaller sizes up to 81.8 mm on large-diameter profiles, ensuring uniform hoop strength and full pressure containment under severe operating conditions. The spigot ends feature generous straight lengths (L dimension from 70 mm to 400 mm), allowing fast alignment and straightforward clamping. The ends are fully compatible with electrofusion couplers as well as conventional butt fusion welding equipment, offering contractors maximum flexibility during pipeline installation.

Selected dimensions between d355 mm and d500 mm carry FM 1613 approval rated at 15 bar, making them suitable for underground fire protection ring mains. A critical technical requirement applies to all seamless-pipe bends: they must not be cut or shortened on-site, as the manufacturing geometry and stress distribution are calibrated precisely for factory lengths. Polyethylene PE100 offers superior resistance to chemical attack, internal abrasion, ground movements, and point loading, guaranteeing an operational lifespan exceeding 50 years in both buried trenches and above-ground installations.
