Prevost PPS Aluminum Bent Link Pipe

The Prevost PPS Aluminum Bent Link Pipe is a precision-formed “S-shape” pipe section designed to solve alignment challenges in compressed air networks. This pre-fabricated offset tube allows installers to seamlessly bridge small gaps or bypass obstacles between two misaligned pipe sections without the need for complex fitting assemblies or manual pipe bending.

Essential for professional-looking installations, the Bent Link Pipe provides a clean, engineered solution for shifting the pipe line away from a wall (to clear a column or conduit) or aligning a drop pipe with a machine inlet that doesn’t perfectly match the header position.

Key Features & Benefits

• Instant Obstacle Navigation: The pre-formed offset allows the piping run to “jump” over electrical conduits, water pipes, or structural beams without interrupting the main line flow.
• Labor & Cost Saving: Eliminates the time-consuming need to cut multiple short pipe pieces and install 45° elbows to create an offset. This single-piece solution is faster and cheaper to install.
• Optimized Airflow: Unlike offsets created with sharp elbows, this factory-bent tube features a smooth, gradual radius that preserves laminar airflow and minimizes pressure drop.
• Leak Reduction: By replacing a multi-fitting assembly with a single bent tube, you eliminate at least two potential leak points from the system.
• Universal Fit: Designed with plain ends to fit directly into standard Prevost PPS unions, couplers, or valves, making it compatible with the entire PPS ecosystem.

Technical Specifications

• Part Series: PPS1 MM (Bent Tube / S-Bend)
• Material: Extruded Aluminum Alloy (EN AW 6060 T6)
• Coating: Electrostatic Blue Paint (RAL 5012)
• Geometry: Pre-formed “S” Offset (Dimensions vary by diameter—check specific offset depth)
• Operating Pressure: Up to 232 PSI (16 bar)
• Operating Temperature: -4°F to +176°F (-20°C to +80°C)
• Fluid Compatibility: Compressed Air, Vacuum, Inert Gases

Ideal Applications

• Wall Offsets: Shifting a pipe run further away from a wall to clear a pillar or thicker insulation.
• Header Alignment: Correcting slight misalignments between two fixed points in a long pipe run.
• Drop Adjustments: shifting a vertical drop sideways to perfectly align with a workstation or machine connection point.
