Ceramic-Backed Elbow

  • This elbow has a jacket across the back of the core elbow which is approximately 1/2″ of ceramic compound
  • This compound has a Mohs hardness of 9+, second only to diamond which has a Mohs hardness of 10
  • The ceramic jacket and core elbow is then wrapped with an exterior material to maintain the hoop strength
  • Once the ceramic compound has been applied, it receives a finished coat of paint

Porcelain-lined Bends and Straights

  • These have a uniform coating of a specially formulated porcelain material that is added to the inside diameter of the bend to give it a very hard, slippery, glass-like surface
  • The hardness of the porcelain coating is between 5 and 6 on the Mohs Scale – as hard as glass and just as smooth
  • The exterior of the bend has the appearance of annealed steel and can be easily painted
