The John Guest Speedfit 12mm Flow Bend is designed to create a smooth 90-degree bend in 12mm semi-rigid water pipe without kinking or restricting water flow. It is ideal for caravans, motorhomes, campervans, boats and horseboxes where pipework needs to be routed neatly around cupboards, lockers and furniture.
Unlike a standard elbow fitting, the flow bend supports the pipe externally, allowing it to maintain a smooth radius while reducing the number of push-fit joints in your plumbing system. Fewer joints can help minimise potential leak points while maintaining good water flow.
Manufactured from durable engineering plastic, the flow bend simply clips over 12mm John Guest Speedfit or Whale semi-rigid pipe, providing support exactly where it is needed. It is suitable for both hot and cold fresh water systems.
A flow bend supports 12mm semi-rigid pipe as it passes around a 90-degree corner, helping to prevent the pipe from kinking while maintaining good water flow.
In many installations, yes. A flow bend allows the pipe to curve naturally, reducing the number of push-fit fittings and potential leak points in your plumbing system.
Yes. It is designed for 12mm John Guest Speedfit pipe and is also compatible with 12mm Whale semi-rigid pipe.
No. The smooth bend radius helps maintain water flow better than a tightly bent pipe and prevents the pipe from collapsing or kinking.
