Silicone hoses - corner bends: sizes and specification considerations

Silicone corner bends are available in a wide range of diameters and bend angles to suit routing needs in industrial and marine systems. When specifying a corner bend, consider nominal diameter, bend radius, wall thickness and end termination type; these parameters commonly affect flow characteristics and compatibility with adjoining hoses or fittings. Silicone material is used for its flexibility and temperature performance in many applications, and options with class or industry certification (for example, Lloyd's Register) can be selected where required.

Applications, selection guidance and procurement

Corner bends are used in ventilation, cooling, exhaust bypasses and other routed transfer services across shipbuilding, construction and manufacturing sectors. Selection typically depends on system pressure, chemical exposure and the routing envelope. Technical documentation such as dimensional drawings and material data sheets may be requested to support procurement and installation decisions. RuplaTec supplies silicone corner bends as part of its hose assortment; see the silicone hoses collection for available ranges or contact our team for advice on matching a bend to an existing system. Engineers and procurement staff often assess compatibility by comparing internal diameter, bend radius and end connection details to installed hardware.

FAQ

What are silicone corner bends and what applications do they serve?

Silicone corner bends are molded or fabricated hose sections designed to change flow direction while preserving the properties of silicone hoses. They are used where flexibility, vibration isolation and resistance to ageing and ozone are required. Typical applications include engine intake and cooling systems, ducting for air and non-aggressive fluids, and installations requiring smooth directional changes. Selection should consider operating environment, fluid type and mechanical stresses. For application-specific guidance, you can contact our team for advice.

Are these silicone corner bends suitable for maritime use and are they certified?

The silicone corner bends offered include Lloyd's Register-certified options intended for the maritime industry. This certification indicates compliance with recognized marine standards for material and manufacturing quality. For shipboard installations, verify that the chosen bend meets the project’s regulatory and classification requirements, including chemical compatibility and temperature ratings. If you require confirmation of suitability for a specific vessel or system, our team can review requirements and provide advice.

How should I choose the correct diameter and bend geometry for silicone hoses — corner bends?

Selecting diameter and bend geometry requires consideration of flow rate, pressure drop, mating connections, allowable bend radius and the routing constraints of the system. Corner bends in 'all sizes' provide dimensional flexibility, but acoustic, hydraulic and mechanical factors can affect performance. Consult the product’s technical data for allowable operating ranges and recommended installation clearances. For precise sizing and to ensure compatibility with system requirements, contact our technical team for assistance with selection and verification.

What are recommended installation and maintenance practices for silicone corner bends?

Install silicone corner bends to avoid sharp kinks and ensure adequate support at connections to prevent undue stress. Use compatible clamps and follow recommended tightening procedures to avoid hose damage. Regular inspections should check for abrasion, cuts, hardening, swelling or displacement. Clean with compatible agents and avoid prolonged exposure to incompatible chemicals. Replace hoses showing signs of degradation.
