VICTAULIC® GROOVED ELBOWS: DIRECTIONAL CONTROL FOR HYDRAULIC ELEVATOR SYSTEMS

The Victaulic Black Grooved Elbow is an essential, robust, ductile iron fitting designed for reliable directional changes within modern high-pressure hydraulic elevator piping systems. Utilizing the proven grooved mechanical joining method, this component offers elevator contractors a fast, flame-free installation alternative that significantly reduces labor time and total installed cost compared to welding. When paired with flexible Victaulic couplings and the specialized Grade "T" Nitrile gasket, the elbow ensures a guaranteed, leak-proof seal against petroleum-based hydraulic fluids while providing superior vibration damping, which is critical for maintaining the quiet, smooth operation expected of premium elevator equipment worldwide.



Features


Ductile Iron (DI) Construction for strength in high-pressure applications.

Essential for High-Pressure Hydraulic Elevator Piping Systems.

Guarantees a Leak-Proof Seal against Petroleum-Based Hydraulic Fluids (using Grade 'T' Nitrile gaskets).

Enables Flame-Free Installation, dramatically reducing labor time and Total Installed Cost.

Provides crucial Vibration Damping for quiet, smooth elevator operation.

Fully compatible with Victaulic couplings and standard grooved carbon steel pipe.

Stocked Sizes for Elevator Pipe Systems


Our inventory is tailored to the most common requirements of hydraulic elevator systems:

  • 2" Victaulic Elbow (90° Directional Change)
  • 2-1/2" Victaulic Elbow (90° Directional Change)
  • 2" Victaulic Elbow (45° Directional Change)
  • 2-1/2" Victaulic Elbow (45° Directional Change)

To achieve a complete, high-integrity, leak-free connection for your hydraulic piping:

  • Victaulic Style 77 Couplings: Essential for joining the elbow to the pipe (available separately in corresponding sizes).
  • Grade “T” Gaskets: The specialized petroleum-compatible gasket required for oil service (included with Style 77 couplings).
  • Victaulic Reducers & Tees: Full range of fittings for custom piping layouts.
  • Grooved Carbon Steel Pipe: Matching grooved-end pipe for a complete system.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • . What are Victaulic Black Grooved Elbows used for?

    These elbows are essential ductile iron fittings used to create directional changes (90° or 45°) in high-pressure hydraulic elevator piping systems joined by the grooved method.

  • . What is the main material of the elbows?

    Victaulic Grooved Elbows are cast from robust ductile iron (DI), which provides the necessary strength and durability for demanding elevator hydraulic applications.

  • . How does the grooved system improve installation?

    The grooved mechanical joint enables a flame-free installation, eliminating the time, cost, and safety hazards associated with welding or threading the hydraulic oil line.

  • . Do these elbows help with vibration damping?

    Yes. When joined with flexible Victaulic couplings (like the Style 77), these fittings contribute to the system's ability to absorb shock and vibration damping, ensuring quiet and reliable elevator operation.

  • . What gasket is required for oil service with these fittings?

    For all petroleum-based hydraulic fluids, the connections must utilize a Grade "T" Nitrile gasket to ensure a durable and leak-proof seal against oil and vapors.
