Lindab BKMU 160 90 Degree Short Pressed Bend with Female Connection

The Lindab BKMU 160 is a high-quality 90-degree short pressed bend engineered for circular ventilation duct systems. With a diameter of 160 mm, this component is specifically designed to facilitate efficient airflow direction changes within HVAC networks. Constructed from durable galvanized steel, the bend offers excellent resistance to corrosion and mechanical wear, ensuring long-term reliability in various indoor climate control installations.

Advantages

The primary benefit of the Lindab BKMU 160 is its compact, short-pressed design, which allows for installation in tight spaces where standard long-radius bends might not fit. The female connection ensures a secure and airtight fit with compatible ducting, minimizing pressure loss and preventing air leakage. Its galvanized steel construction provides a robust solution that maintains structural integrity over time, making it an ideal choice for professional ventilation projects requiring precision and durability.

Suitable for

• Circular ventilation duct systems
• HVAC installations in residential and commercial buildings
• Air distribution networks requiring 90-degree turns
• Tight-space ventilation routing

When it may not be suitable

This component is not intended for use in systems requiring flexible ducting or non-circular connections. It is also not suitable for high-temperature industrial exhaust systems that exceed the thermal limits of galvanized steel or standard ventilation gaskets.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 160 mm
• Angle: 90 degrees
• Material: Galvanized steel
• Connection type: Female
• Design: Short pressed bend

How to use

To install the Lindab BKMU 160, ensure the ducting is cut cleanly and deburred. Slide the female end of the bend over the male end of the connecting duct. Secure the joint using appropriate fasteners such as self-tapping screws or rivets, and seal the connection with professional-grade duct tape or sealant to ensure an airtight seal according to local ventilation standards.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the diameter of your existing ductwork matches the 160 mm specification.
• Ensure the female connection is compatible with your current male-ended duct components.
• Check the available space to ensure the short-pressed radius is sufficient for your layout.

Usage recommendations

For optimal system performance, always ensure that all connections are properly sealed and supported by duct hangers to prevent sagging or vibration-induced noise within the ventilation network.
