Our metal elbows cover both of the materials that matter for hard pipework: T6063 aluminium and polished 304 stainless steel. Between them you can specify a bend for almost any environment, in 45°, 90°, 135° and 180° angles and outside diameters from 13mm to 102mm.

Aluminium is the lighter option and the easier one to work with. T6063 resists corrosion without a coating, cuts and welds cleanly, and at a 1.6mm wall it is more than strong enough for charge pipework and intake systems while saving meaningful weight over steel. Beaded ends give hoses and clamps a positive grip.

Stainless steel 304 is the choice where the environment is harsher. The chromium-nickel alloy holds up to salt, chemicals and sustained high temperatures far better than aluminium, and the polished finish leaves a smooth, easily cleaned surface that resists pitting. That makes it the right specification for marine installations, exhaust and downpipe work, chemical handling and food-grade pipework where hygiene and washdown matter.

Choose aluminium where weight and cost lead, and stainless where corrosion resistance, temperature or cleanliness lead. Match the elbow's outside diameter to your hose's internal diameter and secure the joint with a suitably rated hose clamp.
