Description
This premium 45° PVC ventilation bend is designed for creating smooth directional changes in industrial and commercial ducting systems. Manufactured from rigid PVC, it provides a precise 45-degree angle to help maintain airflow efficiency while minimising turbulence and pressure loss.
With excellent chemical resistance and enhanced insulating properties, this ventilation bend is ideal for demanding environments such as laboratories, process plants, workshops, warehousing and commercial buildings. Available in a range of outside diameters from 50 mm up to 110 mm and beyond, it integrates seamlessly into new installations or retrofit projects.
Product Features
- Premium 45° bend for controlled directional changes in ventilation pipework
- Rigid PVC construction offering high resistance to a wide range of chemicals and fumes
- Outside diameter options including 50 mm, 63 mm, 75 mm, 90 mm, 110 mm and additional larger sizes
- Smooth internal bore to support efficient airflow and reduced pressure drop
- Good thermal and electrical insulation properties for safer, more stable installations
- Compatible with standard PVC ventilation pipes and fittings for straightforward integration
- Suitable for both industrial and commercial ventilation, extraction and ducting systems
Key Features and Benefits
- Maintains airflow efficiency by providing a smooth 45° transition, helping to reduce turbulence and energy losses in the system.
- High chemical resistance makes it suitable for handling corrosive or contaminated air streams in laboratories, process areas and workshops.
- Enhanced insulation properties help limit heat transfer and condensation, contributing to more stable operating conditions.
- Durable PVC material offers long service life with low maintenance requirements compared to metal alternatives in many environments.
- Wide range of diameters enables consistent design across small branch lines and larger main runs within the same system.
- Lightweight and easy to handle, simplifying installation and reducing labour time on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this 45° PVC ventilation bend be used with existing PVC ducting systems?
Yes, the bend is designed to be compatible with standard PVC ventilation pipework. As long as you match the outside diameter of the bend to your existing pipe size, it can be integrated into most PVC ducting systems using appropriate couplers or sockets.
Is the PVC bend suitable for corrosive or chemically contaminated air?
The rigid PVC material offers high resistance to many common industrial chemicals, vapours and fumes, making it suitable for a wide range of corrosive air handling applications. However, it is important to check compatibility with specific chemicals and operating temperatures as part of your system design.
Can this bend be installed in both horizontal and vertical duct runs?
Yes, the 45° bend can be installed in any orientation, including horizontal and vertical pipe runs. It is commonly used to offset ducting around obstacles, change direction between floors, or gradually alter flow direction while maintaining good airflow characteristics.
