Express Duct 30 Degree Bends

Express Duct 30 degree bends (also searched as a 30 degree bend pipe, 30 degree pipe bend, or ducting elbow) are part of the Express Duct clipped ducting range. They’re used when you need a 30° change of direction while keeping the same Express Duct connection style through the rest of the duct run.

These bends are supplied in a wide range of diameters, from 80mm to 500mm, and are made from galvanised steel.

Important: This information is general. If you’re unsure which ducting bend you need, speak to our team before ordering.

Sizing and compatibility (80mm–500mm)

Most customers choose their 30 degree ducting bend by diameter first (for example a 100mm ducting elbow), then match it to the rest of the Express Duct run.

If you’re connecting Express Duct to a different duct type, the product guidance notes that adapters can be supplied for systems such as spiral ducting and Nordfab clipped ducting (and other ductwork systems).

FAQ

What makes an Express Duct 30-degree bend different from standard spiral bends?
Express Duct bends use the Express Duct clipped connection style, rather than a standard spiral ducting joint.

When should I use a 30-degree bend instead of a 45 or 90-degree bend?
A 30° bend is simply used when you need a 30° change of direction. Which angle is best depends on your route and layout. If you’re unsure, tell us what you’re building and we’ll help you choose the right fitting.

What is the radius of these 30-degree ducting elbows?
The product pages list the bend radius as R (Radius) = 1 × D (Diameter).

Can these ducting bends handle heavy-duty materials like sawdust or grain?
Suitability depends on what’s being conveyed and the overall system specification. If you share what you’re moving through the ducting, we can advise on the most appropriate components.

Do I need sealant or screws for a 30-degree ducting elbow?
Express Duct components are designed to be clamped using quick clips/clamps (sold separately). Any additional sealing approach depends on the wider system and site requirements.

What are the most common sizes for small extraction lines?
Many customers start by matching the bend to their existing duct diameter (for example 100mm). If you tell us your duct size and what you’re connecting into, we can confirm the right option.
