Product Overview


The Blue Aluminum Elbow for Compressed Air Systems provides a corrosion-resistant, low-pressure-drop solution for directional changes in compressed air piping networks. Available in 90° and 45° configurations with sizes ranging from 1/2” to 6”, these elbows are constructed from high-grade 3003 aluminum alloy with a proprietary blue electrophoretic coating that enhances both durability and system visibility . Rated for operating pressures up to 232 psi (16 bar) and temperatures from -4°F to 176°F (-20°C to 80°C), they feature precision-machined ends for leak-free connection to compatible aluminum pipes and fittings . The elbows’ smooth internal geometry minimizes pressure loss, making them ideal for energy-efficient compressed air distribution in industrial and commercial facilities.


Product Features


Blue Electrophoretic Coating

The dual-layer coating system provides 300% better UV resistance than uncoated aluminum and exceeds 1,000 hours of salt spray testing per ASTM B117, preventing corrosion in humid environments . The distinctive blue color also enables quick identification of compressed air lines.


Low-Friction Internal Design

With a wall thickness of 2.5mm to 8mm (depending on size) and internal surface roughness of Ra < 0.8 μm, these elbows produce only 3-5% pressure drop at maximum flow, significantly less than galvanized steel elbows .


Lightweight Construction

Weighing 60% less than equivalent steel elbows, the aluminum design reduces structural support requirements and simplifies installation, cutting labor costs by approximately 30% compared to metal alternatives .


Leak-Proof Connection Compatibility

Precision-machined ends with dimensional tolerances of ±0.05mm ensure secure mating with push-to-connect, compression, and welded fittings commonly used in aluminum compressed air systems.


Applications


These blue aluminum elbows are ideal for:


Automotive Assembly Plants: Direction changes in robotic tool air lines.

Food Processing Facilities: Corrosion-free compressed air distribution in washdown areas.

Warehouse Operations: Efficient airflow in overhead compressed air networks.

Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Clean air systems requiring non-contaminating components.

Construction Sites: Temporary and permanent air lines in outdoor environments.


FAQ


What makes these elbows suitable for food processing environments?

The 3003 aluminum alloy is non-toxic and corrosion-resistant, while the blue coating is free from heavy metals, meeting FDA 21 CFR 175.300 requirements for food contact surfaces .


Can they be used with existing steel pipe systems?

Yes, when paired with transition fittings, they connect seamlessly to steel piping, allowing gradual system upgrades to aluminum.


What is the maximum number of elbows recommended in a single run?

To maintain efficient airflow, limit to 4 elbows per 50-foot run. More elbows may require pressure compensation to maintain end-use pressure.
