Hollow-Back Elbows
Hollow-Back elbows are designed to capture abrasive product in the fabricated back cavity. The abrasive material then abrades against itself. Hollow-Backs are made using a tube or pipe elbow, thus eliminating the need for transitions. Typical construction is with 10 gauge material, but thicker metal and abrasion-resistant steel plate are also available.
Hollow-Back elbows are available in:
- Any degree and centerline radius (CLR)
- Carbon steel and stainless steel
- Pipe and tube
- Plain ends, flanged ends, grooved ends, and other specified ends
