Applications The 45 degree Locking Elbow is the first syphon elbow to feature a pinless design. The Locking Elbow is designed for high-speed, small roll diameter applications. The stainless steel horizontal body is secured to the vertical leg using a proprietary locking mechanism. As an integral component of the steam joint, the Locking Elbow is a maintenance-free, reliable syphon elbow.
(2) Increase the life of your existing syphon elbow
by upgrading to the spring-lock syphon elbow. This simple,
inexpensive upgrade installs quickly and easily using your
existing joint and syphon pipes. The corrosion-resistant materials
and increased robustness of the syphon elbow assembly
improves syphon performance and reduces maintenance
downtime.
The spring-lock elbows are available off-the-shelf for immediate delivery.
Spring-lock design Spring-locking elbows consist of the standard gravity-lock elbow and a spring-lock assembly. The spring-lock
assembly consists of five parts:
(2) Pipe collars, stainless steel (identical parts)
(2) Collar straps (identical parts)
(1) Locking spring, ...
The conventional 60° elbow has a large bearing area for the hinge pin and the material greatly increases yield and tensile strengths.
Determining Length of Syphon Pipe Used With 60° Elbow
1. Calculate dimension "A" by dividing the internal roll diameter by 2. 2. Subtract the desired syphon clearance (dimension “B”) from "A" and multiply this result by 1.155 to find dimension "C". 3. Find "D" in the chart and subtract “D” from "C" to find the length of the angle pipe over the thread.
Applications The Pivot Body syphon elbow allows a syphon pipe to be inserted into a dryer through the dryer journal, without the need for a hand hole or manhole. Unlike conventional syphon elbows, the Pivot Body syphon elbow does not rely on a hinge pin to hold vertical and horizontal bodies together. Its unique pinless design provides improved performance, increased reliability, and easier installation.
