K-Flex USA 90-degree elbow fitting
The K-Flex USA 801-LRE-048078 is a 90-degree elbow pipe fitting made from Buna-N rubber and PVC elastomeric insulation. It fits a 7/8 in inside diameter with a 1/2 in wall thickness for 1/2 in pipe sizes. The unslit design suits new plumbing and HVAC installations requiring a tight directional change.
Sustained temperature and fire performance
The closed-cell foam operates continuously from -297 °F to 220 °F without degrading. An R-value of 3.1 provides steady thermal resistance under long-term load. The material carries a flame spread index of 25 and a plenum rating, meeting fire safety requirements for extended service in air-handling spaces.
Replaces straight-run insulation at directional
This elbow replaces field-fabricated mitre joints on 1/2 in piping where a 90-degree turn occurs. The pre-formed shape eliminates gaps that reduce thermal efficiency and invite condensation. The jump is worth it when antimicrobial, flame-retardant performance and plenum compliance are specified for the system.

Questions about this item
Does the Buna-N rubber/PVC insulation stay flexible after running at 220 °F all day?
The material is rated for continuous use up to 220 °F and remains flexible across its full temperature range.
What pipe size must I already have for this 90-degree elbow to fit?
It is designed for 1/2 in pipe with a 7/8 in outside diameter.
Will the 3.1 R-value and plenum rating meet code when I add it to my existing insulated copper lines?
Yes, the fitting provides R-3.1, carries a 25 flame-spread index and is plenum rated for use alongside existing insulated runs.
