90° pipe bend, Type 2: The space-saving solution with a short radius

Space is often at a premium in engine rooms, compact installations and railing construction. If the standard bend protrudes too far, the FeNau 90° pipe bend, Type 2, is the solution. With its particularly short radius (r ≈ 1.0 x outer diameter), it enables extremely tight 90-degree bends without compromising on the stability of a seamless steel bend.

What does ‘Type 2’ mean, and when do I need it?

The standards (DIN 2605 Part 1 / EN 10253) distinguish between pipe bends primarily by their bending radius. Whilst the standard bend (Type 3) has a radius of 1.5 times the diameter, the Type 2 pipe bend is designed to be significantly more compact:

Type 2 radius: r ≈ 1.0 x D (the bend is as ‘short’ as the pipe diameter itself).
Advantage: Maximum space saving in pipework and structures.
Material: Raw (black) steel, ideal for direct welding.

Ideal for FeNau customers: handrail construction and structural work

Particularly with handrails or frame structures, a bend with a wide radius often looks out of place or protrudes too far into the space. Our short welded bends create a crisp, tight appearance (‘Hamburg bend’ style) and are popular with metalworkers for routing pipes closely along walls or machinery. As the steel is supplied untreated, it can be welded perfectly to the connecting pipe and subsequently galvanised or coated.

Frequently asked questions about 90° short-radius bends (Type 2)

Does the short radius have any disadvantages in terms of flow?

Due to physical principles, the flow resistance with a short radius (Type 2) is slightly higher than with a standard elbow (Type 3), as the fluid is directed round the bend ‘faster’. This is irrelevant for structures (railings), but should be taken into account in pump design for water pipes.

Are these bends standardised?

Yes, our products comply with the tolerances specified in DIN 2605-1 and the European standard EN 10253. You are assured of verified dimensional accuracy for clean welds.

How do I calculate the space required?

As a rule of thumb for Type 2: the construction radius (centre of the pipe to the end of the bend) is approximately equal to the external diameter. A 42.4 mm pipe therefore has a Type 2 bend with a radius of approx. 42–43 mm. This is extremely compact compared to the approx. 60 mm of a standard bend.
