180° Aluminium Elbow is a precision-formed alloy U-bend designed for lightweight and corrosion-resistant pipework connections. Manufactured from high-grade T6063 aluminium, the elbow combines strength and durability with reduced weight compared to steel alternatives, making it ideal for automotive, marine, agricultural, and industrial use. With smooth internal walls for efficient flow and a polished finish for both protection and appearance, the elbow is engineered to perform in demanding environments. The 180° bend with equal 100 mm leg lengths provides a compact solution for U-shaped routing in hose and pipework systems, reducing the need for multiple joiners and maintaining smooth airflow or fluid transfer.

Constructed from high-grade T6063 aluminium, the elbow offers excellent corrosion resistance and a strong yet lightweight structure, making it particularly suitable for high-performance applications. The 180° U-bend design allows for efficient reversal of flow direction, reducing the need for multiple angled connectors and maintaining system efficiency. With a smooth bore, the elbow minimises turbulence and pressure drop, while its polished finish protects against oxidation and enhances appearance. Easy to install with clamps, it integrates seamlessly with reinforced silicone and rubber hoses, providing a professional solution for both maintenance and custom fabrication projects.
Applications include turbocharger and intercooler pipework, automotive cooling and induction systems, marine engine cooling layouts, agricultural machinery, and industrial pipework installations. 180° Aluminium Elbows are widely used in custom fabrication, motorsport, and engineering projects where lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and durable U-bend pipework is required.
