Requirement– Galaxy Plastics was approached by their customer for a required custom bend for their PVC potable waterline project.

Challenges – To build a fitting that meets a precise angle of 58° in a timely manner to meet the customer’s tight timeline. Typically, product offering would see this type of product be a cut and weld technique. This method would not only extend the delivery timeline but as well result in a reduced pressure rating and an overall weaker fitting.

Proposal – Galaxy Plastics has the ability to fabricate 1-piece bends from 1° – 60°. In this particular instance we fabricated a 1-piece bend in a short timeline to meet the needs of the customer. In addition, Galaxy Plastics was able to rate this fitting to full pressure (235psi) with no compromise to the customer’s project!
