GI Threaded Long Bend

A GI threaded long bend refers to a type of pipe fitting commonly used in plumbing and piping systems. “GI” stands for Galvanized Iron, indicating that the pipe or fitting is made from iron or steel coated with a layer of zinc to prevent rust and corrosion.

A long bend, in plumbing terminology, typically refers to a curved pipe fitting used to change the direction of a pipeline gradually. These fittings are designed to allow pipes to navigate around obstacles or to adjust the direction of flow without sharp angles that could impede the flow or create pressure points in the system.

The term “threaded” indicates that the ends of the fitting have threads cut into them, allowing it to be screwed onto other threaded pipes or fittings, creating a secure and sealed connection without the need for welding.

Overall, a GI threaded long bend is a galvanized iron pipe fitting that is curved, threaded at both ends, and used for changing the direction of a pipeline while maintaining the threaded connection with other components in the plumbing or piping system.
