This category covers lever-lock bends in 90° and 45° configurations, designed for use with lever lock couplings. These fittings allow hoses or pipes to change direction sharply while maintaining the convenience and reliability of lever-lock connection systems.
Key Features & Benefits
Stress reduction: Bends help relieve strain on hose assemblies by guiding flow around corners rather than forcing abrupt directional changes.
Secure connection: They retain the quick-action locking mechanism of lever-lock couplings, ensuring fast and positive engagement/disengagement.
Versatile installation: Available in both 45° and 90° angles to suit differing layout requirements and space constraints.
Construction and compatibility: Typically manufactured in galvanised steel to provide strength and corrosion resistance.
Flanged options: Some variants are available with male or female flanged ends to integrate with existing pipework systems.
Typical Applications
Industrial and agricultural fluid transfer systems
Washdown / cleaning rigs
Fuel, water, coolant, and chemical lines
Situations requiring robust directional changes without compromising coupling reliability
Buying Considerations
Angle: Choose between 45° or 90° depending on how sharply you need to redirect flow.
End type: Standard lever-lock ends versus flanged (male or female) options for connection compatibility.
Size and bore: Match the internal diameter of your hose or pipe to ensure flow capacity is maintained.
Material and protection: Galvanised steel offers durability; ensure it suits the fluid and environmental conditions.
Service / maintenance: Opt for designs that allow easy disassembly for cleaning, inspection, or replacement.
Summary
Lever lock 90° & 45° bends provide an elegant, efficient solution for directional control in hose systems using lever-lock couplings. They balance ease of connection/disconnection with mechanical integrity and are vital in systems where flow needs to be routed safely around corners without undue stress or leakage.
