    QF Elbow

    Nordfab manufactures ducting for use in dust, mist, and fume collection systems.

    Quick-Fit® Elbows have rolled ends for use with Quick-Fit Clamps, allowing quick assembly / disassembly and relocation. 

    Standard Nordfab QF® elbows, also referred to as Bends, are available in 90°, 60°, 45°, and 30° with radiuses of 1.0 or 1.5. Long radius elbows are also available.

    Galvanized QF Elbows in sizes 3″-7″ are press formed halves stitch welded together. QF elbows in sizes 8″-24″ are segmented (gored). Stainless steel QF Elbows sizes 3″-6″ are tubed.

    Elbows in heavier gauges can be supplied in solid welded construction at an additional cost. For highly abrasive applications or placement in a high wear area within the duct line, Nordfab elbows in 14 gauge or 12 gauge may be the solution to reduce the frequency and cost of replacing worn-through elbows.

    • Available in Galvanized and 304SS (as shown below) or optional 316SS or carbon steel
    • Available with flanged ends in diameters up to 72", and other various end styles
    • Optional gauges 20, 18, 16, 14, 12 and 10
    • QF Elbows are a Nordfab Now® product so items in the most commonly used sizes and material are in stock and can typically be shipped the day after order placement.

    Contact Nordfab or your local Nordfab dealer for assistance with optional end types, larger sizes and material / gauge options.

    Quick-Fit has been used in a wide variety of applications, wherever dust collection or fine particulate transfer is required.
