Product Advantages and Industrial Applications

The Atlas Copco 2811500480 elbow offers specific technical advantages designed to optimize network efficiency and plant operations:

• Low Pressure Drop: By utilizing a 45° angle instead of a sharp 90° bend, this fitting ensures a smoother volumetric flow. This configuration drastically minimizes pressure drop losses throughout the compressed air network, enhancing overall compressor efficiency.
• Advanced Push-to-Fit Connection: Upgraded for post-2015 configurations, the socket design enables quick compression installation without requiring welding, threading, or specialized tools, significantly cutting down on pipeline assembly and maintenance timelines.
• Corrosion and Leak Resistance: Constructed from specialized high-performance composite engineering plastics, the component eliminates risk of rust or internal pipe scaling, ensuring downstream air quality remains uncompromised.
• System Compatibility and Flexibility: It is fully backwards compatible with older networks that utilize the previous 2810500400 part number. The fitting is typically utilized in industrial facilities to safely route piping around structural obstacles such as existing utility lines, I-beams, pillars, or ceiling rafters.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the part number 2811500480 fully compatible with older systems using 2810500400?

Yes. Part number 2811500480 is the official upgraded version of the legacy part number 2810500400. It is fully backwards compatible and can directly replace the older component in existing AIRnet aluminum piping layouts without any structural adjustments.

What medium is this fitting approved to transport?

This fitting is strictly designed for official AIRnet systems conveying compressed air, vacuum systems, and inert gases.

Does this elbow require professional welding tools for setup?

No, it does not. The fitting features Atlas Copco’s proprietary push-to-fit mechanism. It allows secure, leakproof, female-to-female compression connection directly onto 50 mm outside diameter pipes without the need for complex tools.

What is the pressure limit for this specific accessory?

The fitting is rated for a maximum working pressure of up to 16 bar or 232 psi, aligning with the standard operational limits of industrial-grade AIRnet aluminum pipe networks.
