Double Flange 90° Duckfoot Bend
- Material: The bend is typically made from various materials such as cast iron, ductile iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, or other suitable materials depending on the application requirements.
- Size: The bend is available in various sizes ranging from small diameters to large diameters, which are determined based on the pipeline system requirements.
- Flange Dimension: The double flange on one end of the bend is designed to match the flange dimensions of the connecting pipes or equipment. The dimensions of the flange, such as outer diameter, inner diameter, and bolt hole pattern, should be specified according to the system requirements.
- Duck Foot Shape: The other end of the bend has a duck foot shape, which allows for smooth flow transition and reduces pressure drop in the system. The dimensions and shape of the duck foot should be specified based on the flow requirements and compatibility with the connecting pipes.
- Pressure Rating: The bend should be rated for a specific pressure class or pressure rating, indicating the maximum pressure it can withstand in the pipeline system.
- Coating: To protect against corrosion and enhance durability, the bend may have a coating or lining, such as epoxy, fusion-bonded epoxy, or other suitable coatings, as per the application requirements.
- Standards: The bend should be manufactured in compliance with relevant industry standards, such as ANSI/ASME, ASTM, ISO, DIN, or other applicable standards.
- Efficient Flow Redirection: The smooth curve of the duckfoot bend reduces turbulence and pressure loss during fluid movement, ensuring consistent performance in the system.
- High-Quality Materials: Manufactured from ductile iron, these fittings are designed to withstand heavy loads and resist breakage under stress.
- Corrosion Resistance: The epoxy coating protects against rust and corrosion, extending the lifespan of the fitting, especially in water supply systems.
- Flanged Design: The flanged duckfoot bend allows for easy installation, removal, and maintenance, making it an ideal choice for systems requiring frequent inspection or repair.

Introduction to Duckfoot Bend
A duckfoot bend is a critical component in modern piping systems, specifically designed to facilitate a smooth 90-degree turn in pipelines. These bends are often used in water supply networks and other fluid transport systems where durability and efficient flow are essential. Named for its distinctive shape, resembling a duck’s foot, the duckfoot bend allows fluid to change direction without significant pressure loss, making it a preferred choice for projects requiring high-quality and reliable fittings.
Material and Coating for Durability
Manufactured primarily from ductile iron, the duckfoot bend stands out for its strength and flexibility. Ductile iron is an excellent material for high-pressure applications, ensuring the bend can withstand heavy loads and resist damage in harsh environments. This makes it ideal for use in water distribution systems, where constant pressure and durability are critical.
To enhance its performance, the duckfoot bend is typically treated with an epoxy coating. This epoxy powder coating adds an additional layer of protection, guarding against corrosion and ensuring the bend can maintain its structural integrity even in demanding environments. Whether exposed to water, soil, or chemicals, this coating prolongs the lifespan of the fitting.
Application in Piping Systems
The duckfoot bend is an essential fitting in piping systems for efficiently redirecting water flow. Its unique shape helps maintain consistent water pressure by minimizing turbulence, making it a valuable component in water supply networks, pump stations, and underground pipelines. Additionally, the flanged duckfoot bend version is widely used because the flange allows for easy installation, maintenance, and adjustments.
Due to its robust design, the duckfoot bend is capable of handling high-pressure flows in both municipal and industrial water systems. Its corrosion-resistant properties make it an excellent choice for long-term projects, ensuring reliability and minimal maintenance over time.
