IPS 45° x 48" STANDARD RADIUS ELBOWS - ABOVE GROUND

An ideal choice for professionals seeking dependable, high-performance solutions for conduit installations. Whether for utilities, data centers, or wastewater treatment plants, these fiberglass elbows offer exceptional durability, cost-effectiveness, and installation efficiency. Engineered with a unique low-friction interior, they protect cables from wear while maintaining integrity under demanding conditions. As industries increasingly recognize the benefits of fiberglass over traditional materials, 

Superior Cable Protection 

45° x 48" Radius Elbows are designed with a low coefficient of friction, achieved through a single-circuit winding process that gives the inner surface a smooth finish. This design protects cables from burn-through during installation, significantly reducing wear and the likelihood of costly repairs. Traditional steel or PVC-coated conduits often create friction that can degrade cable quality, but Champion’s fiberglass solution ensures cables glide through with minimal resistance. This feature is particularly beneficial for data centers and utility applications where protecting cable integrity is essential.

Lightweight Construction for Fast Installation 

Compared to traditional steel or PVC-coated elbows, These Elbows are considerably lighter, making them easier to transport, handle, and install. This reduction in weight translates to faster installation times and lower labor costs. According to NECA labor rates, fiberglass conduit systems reduce installation time substantially, especially with larger diameters, where handling weightier materials can slow down work. The lightweight nature of fiberglass is not only advantageous for reducing physical strain on workers but also for keeping project timelines on track, an essential consideration for contractors and engineers.

Customizable Transition Options

One of the standout features of 45° x 48" Radius Elbows is their flexibility in adapting to various conduit systems. These elbows come with a range of end configurations, allowing seamless integration with different materials, including galvanized rigid conduit (GRC) and PVC-coated systems. We offers factory-fitted transition and termination fittings, so the elbows arrive on-site ready for installation, saving time and labor. Customers can specify configurations such as plain ends, PVC or fiberglass couplings, and male or female adapters, making these elbows a versatile solution across different conduit systems.

Certified Quality Standards

45° x 48" Radius Elbows are manufactured in the USA and are ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certified. These certifications ensure the highest quality standards, from production processes to environmental responsibility and occupational safety. ISO 9001 certification confirms a focus on consistent quality, ISO 14001 underscores a commitment to environmental management, and ISO 45001 ensures workplace safety. With these certifications, contractors and engineers can trust that our products meet rigorous standards, making them a reliable choice for critical infrastructure projects.

Key Features:

• Enhanced Cable Protection: Low-friction, smooth interior prevents cable wear and burn-through, ensuring cable longevity and reducing maintenance costs.
• Quick and Easy Installation: Lightweight fiberglass construction allows for quicker installations compared to steel or PVC-coated alternatives, saving time and labor costs.
• Versatile Transition Options: Customizable end configurations, including plain ends, couplings, and adapters, allow seamless integration with various conduit systems.
• Certified Quality Assurance: Manufactured in the USA with ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications, guaranteeing top-tier quality, environmental care, and safety.
• Wide Range of Sizes and Configurations: Available in multiple bends and radii, with custom options for customer-specific end fittings, making these elbows adaptable for diverse applications.

Flexible Sizing and Custom Options

We understands that different projects may require specific sizes and configurations, so they offer a range of bend sizes and radii on request. Customers can also choose from various end configurations, including deep socket PVC couplings for secure fits. This flexibility makes these Elbows ideal for a wide array of applications. For added convenience, ordering codes make specifying custom options easy, with suffixes like “-1F” for one fiberglass coupling or “-2D” for two deep socket PVC couplings. This customization streamlines ordering and ensures that the elbows fit perfectly with other components.

Applications and Ordering Details

45° x 48" Radius Elbows are suitable for use across several industries, including utility infrastructure, data centers, and wastewater treatment facilities. These elbows’ corrosion-resistant fiberglass construction makes them ideal for challenging environments where other materials may degrade over time. For installations that require transitions from fiberglass to other conduit systems, Champion’s factory-fitted adapters allow for seamless connections.
