K-Flex USA 90-degree elbow fitting

The K-Flex USA 801-LRE-048078 is a 90-degree elbow pipe fitting made from Buna-N rubber and PVC elastomeric insulation. It fits a 7/8 in inside diameter with a 1/2 in wall thickness for 1/2 in pipe sizes. The unslit design suits new plumbing and HVAC installations requiring a tight directional change.

Sustained temperature and fire performance

The closed-cell foam operates continuously from -297 °F to 220 °F without degrading. An R-value of 3.1 provides steady thermal resistance under long-term load. The material carries a flame spread index of 25 and a plenum rating, meeting fire safety requirements for extended service in air-handling spaces.

Replaces straight-run insulation at directional

This elbow replaces field-fabricated mitre joints on 1/2 in piping where a 90-degree turn occurs. The pre-formed shape eliminates gaps that reduce thermal efficiency and invite condensation. The jump is worth it when antimicrobial, flame-retardant performance and plenum compliance are specified for the system.
