QF Elbow 18ga

Quick-Fit® 18 gauge Elbows have rolled ends for use with Quick-Fit Clamps, allowing quick assembly / disassembly and relocation. Learn more about the advantages of Quick-Fit ducting.

Available in 90°, 60°, 45°, and 30° with a radius of 1.5. Other CLRs available upon request. Long radius 18ga elbows are also available.

Heavier gauge construction may be the solution to reduce the frequency and cost of replacing worn-through elbows in high wear applications.

  • Available in Galvanized (as shown below) and 304SS or optional 316SS
  • Available with flanged ends in diameters up to 72", and other various end styles.
  • Elbows in even heavier gauges can be supplied in solid welded construction at an additional cost. Optional gauges standard 22 or 20, 16, 14, 12 and 10

Contact Nordfab or your local Nordfab dealer for assistance with larger sizes and material / gauge options. Interior buffing available upon request for additional cost.
