Description
Blue Aluminum Bent Link Pipe for Compressed Air
Prevost PPS Blue Aluminum Bent Link Pipe provides a preformed offset section for compressed air piping installations where a straight pipe run cannot conveniently pass around an obstruction or change alignment. Its aluminum construction integrates with compatible Prevost PPS pipe and fittings for a clean, modular compressed air network.
Available in 1/2", 3/4", and 1" outside diameters, the bent link pipe provides a factory-formed transition that can simplify piping layouts while reducing the need to create an offset using multiple fittings.

Why Use a Bent Link Pipe?
Navigate Obstacles
- Provides a factory-formed offset in the pipe run
- Useful where straight pipe cannot maintain the required path
- Helps route piping around structural or mechanical obstacles
- Can simplify compact equipment-room layouts
- Maintains an organized piping installation
Simplify Installation
- Preformed shape eliminates field bending of straight aluminum pipe
- May reduce the need for multiple elbows in an offset
- Integrates directly into compatible PPS piping networks
- Lightweight construction simplifies handling
- Supports modular compressed air system layouts
Common Applications
Compressed Air Routing
- Routing around columns and structural members
- Passing around equipment
- Creating controlled offsets in pipe runs
- Wall and ceiling transitions
- Mechanical-room compressed air piping
Industrial PPS Networks
- Manufacturing facilities
- Machine shops
- Automotive service facilities
- Production areas
- Compressed air main and branch lines
Selecting the Correct Size
Select the bent link pipe according to the outside diameter of the Prevost PPS pipe used in the compressed air network. The pipe OD must match the compatible fittings and adjoining PPS components.
Also review the dimensional requirements of the installation. Dimensions A, B, and C vary by pipe size and should be checked against the available clearance before ordering.
Installation Considerations
- Confirm the required pipe outside diameter before ordering.
- Review dimensions A, B, and C to verify available installation clearance.
- Use compatible Prevost PPS fittings sized for the selected pipe OD.
- Keep pipe ends clean and free of damage before assembly.
- Prepare pipe connections according to Prevost PPS installation requirements.
- Support the piping network appropriately on both sides of the offset.
- Do not exceed the published maximum operating pressure of 232 PSI.
- Maintain the system within the published -4°F to 176°F operating temperature range.
- Pressure-test the completed compressed air network before normal operation.
- Installation should be completed by personnel familiar with compressed air piping systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bent link pipe used for?
A bent link pipe provides a preformed offset in a compressed air pipe run, helping the piping route around obstacles or transition between sections that are not directly aligned.
What sizes are available?
This listing includes 1/2", 3/4", and 1" outside-diameter options.
What is the maximum operating pressure?
The Prevost specification lists a maximum operating pressure of 232 PSI.
What is the operating temperature range?
The published operating temperature range is -4°F to 176°F.
Is this pipe made from aluminum?
Yes. The bent link pipe is part of Prevost's 100% aluminum PPS network.
Can this replace multiple elbows?
Depending on the piping layout, the preformed offset can reduce the number of individual fittings required to route a pipe around an obstruction.
Can this be connected to standard Prevost PPS blue pipe?
Yes. Select a bent link pipe with the same outside diameter as the adjoining compatible Prevost PPS pipe and fittings.
Are the dimensions the same for every size?
No. Dimensions A, B, and C vary by pipe outside diameter. Review the size-and-dimension table before ordering.
Is this intended for compressed air systems?
Yes. The blue bent link pipe is designed as a component of the Prevost PPS compressed air piping network.
Where can I review the manufacturer's dimensional information?
The Prevost specification sheet is linked in the Ask Willy section directly above.
