Long Radius Bends
Used where a smoother directional change is preferred and centre-to-end dimensions are important.
Direction, Branching & Transition
Pipe Fittings
Fittings are where a piping layout changes direction, branches, reduces or terminates. Flowline keeps the enquiry practical: identify the fitting type first, then confirm size, schedule or wall, material, angle or configuration, and the governing standard.

Technical guide
Match the fitting to the change in the line.
Start with direction, branching, reduction or termination, then check size, wall, material, angle and connection standard for the fitting required.
Flowline’s catalogue highlights MS/SS bends with dimensional references for long-radius and short-radius configurations. The same buying logic can be extended across elbows, tees, reducers, caps and forged or threaded fittings.
The most useful enquiry starts with a fitting description or drawing mark-up. Add nominal size, wall or schedule, material grade, angle or branch geometry, end preparation and quantity so the component can be matched cleanly to the piping requirement.

Fitting forms for direction, branching and transition.
The geometry drives the selection. Choose the fitting form first, then refine it with size, schedule, material, radius and end preparation.
