PE100 30 Degree Light-Wall Seamless Bend SDR 17 — Economy Small-Angle Sweep for Rural & Farm Pipeline Work
The PE100 30° light-wall seamless bend (SDR 17) is the economy small-angle fitting for rural and farm pipeline networks. Dual-rated Water PN10 (1.0 MPa) and Gas 6 Bar, it is mandrel-bent from solid PE100 pipe — continuous wall, no mould parting line, smooth bore — at a lighter weight and lower cost than SDR 11.
On pasture water pipelines, the 30° bend lets the line drop gently between troughs and avoid fence corners. Under village and field roads, it makes the small transition angle between the open trench and the road crossing casing. On orchard irrigation mainlines, it follows the row spacing with a gentle turn instead of a kinked elbow run. It also suits low-pressure farm gas and biogas lines where 6 Bar is the design pressure.
Where SDR 11 would be over-specified for a PN10 rural network, this light-wall bend saves material, freight and weld time — without giving up the continuous-wall seamless quality.
Typical Applications
- Pasture and livestock water pipeline small-angle turns
- Village road and field crossing transition angles
- Orchard and vineyard irrigation mainline alignment
- Farmstead water supply offsets around pump sheds and tanks
- Low-pressure farm gas / biogas distribution sweeps
Key Features & Benefits
- Economy SDR 17 light wall — lower material cost, lighter freight, easier to handle on remote sites
- Small 30° angle — precise turn for route alignment, road crossings and farm offsets
- Dual-rated — Water PN10 and Gas 6 Bar in one fitting
- Mandrel-bent seamless — continuous wall, no mould seam, smooth bore
- Long sweep radius — standard 3D, up to 10D on request; low head loss on long irrigation mains
- Fewer welds than two elbows — one continuous bend instead of two close-coupled 45° fittings
- Butt fusion ends — welds directly to SDR 17 PE100 pipe per DVS 2207
When to upgrade to SDR 11?
If your duty includes a pump discharge above PN10, a pressurised gas main above 6 Bar, a municipal water main, or a buried depth with high external load, step up to the SDR 11 version (PN16 / 10 Bar). For gravity-fed pasture supply, orchard irrigation and village low-pressure networks, SDR 17 is the cost-effective choice.

Product Standards & Certifications
All spigot fittings are manufactured from certified PE100 virgin material and tested against international piping system standards. Production is backed by ISO 9001 and ISO 29001 quality management systems.
- EN 12201-3 / ISO 4427-3 — PE fittings for water supply (PN10)
- EN 1555-3 / ISO 4437-3 — PE fittings for gas distribution (6 Bar)
- DVS 2207 / ISO 21307 — Butt fusion jointing procedures for PE pipes and fittings

Note: suitable for potable water and low-pressure gas duty. Material certificates and test reports supplied on request.
Shipping & Delivery Information
Light-wall bends are noticeably lighter than SDR 11 — an advantage when a truckload of fittings has to be driven out to a remote farm or orchard.
After-Sales Service & Warranty
We support rural and farm pipeline projects long after delivery — with welding guidance, angle selection for field alignment and spare-part supply for orchard and village networks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our 30° SDR 17 economy small-angle seamless bend
Should I choose SDR 11 or SDR 17 for a 30 degree seamless bend?+
Choose SDR 11 (PN16 / 10 Bar) for municipal water mains, pressurised gas transmission, pump discharge and any duty above PN10. Choose SDR 17 (PN10 / 6 Bar) for rural irrigation, pasture water, village water supply and low-pressure farm gas — it is lighter, cheaper and easier to handle on remote sites.
What is SDR 17 rated for?+
SDR 17 is dual rated: Water PN10 (1.0 MPa) and Gas 6 Bar. It is the economy light-wall class for rural water supply, gravity-fed distribution and low-pressure gas networks.
Where is a 30 degree light-wall bend typically used on a farm?+
Typical farm uses are small-angle turns on long irrigation mainlines, crossings under village and field roads, offsets around pasture troughs and pump sheds, and gentle sweeps on low-pressure farm gas or biogas lines.
Which sizes are available?+
The 30° light-wall seamless bend is available from d20mm to d500mm, with d63-315mm in standard stock and larger sizes produced on request.
Can custom angles be made?+
Yes — beyond the standard 30°, we can produce 11°, 22°, and custom angles (e.g. 15°, 25°, 35°) to match your survey, with MOQ starting at 10 pieces.
