£20.25 (inc VAT: £24.30)
Summary
The Honeywell VESDA Radius Bend is a high-quality pipe fitting designed for use in aspirating smoke detection systems. Manufactured from red ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), these radius bends are produced under a stringent quality control system to ensure consistent, reliable performance in fire detection installations.
ABS is widely regarded as one of the most suitable materials for aspirating detection pipework, offering an excellent combination of tensile strength, chemical resistance, ductility, weatherability, heat stability and processability. The distinctive fire red colour makes VESDA pipework instantly identifiable within a building, aiding maintenance, inspection and compliance checks.
Whether you are installing a new aspirating smoke detection network or extending an existing system, the VESDA Radius Bend provides a dependable, standards-compliant solution that is straightforward to work with and built to last.

FAQ
What material is the VESDA Radius Bend made from?
The VESDA Radius Bend is manufactured from ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), a robust and durable polymer chosen for its suitability in aspirating smoke detection systems. It offers excellent tensile strength, chemical resistance, ductility, weatherability, heat stability and processability.
Why are VESDA pipe fittings supplied in red?
Standard VESDA pipe and fittings are supplied in fire red to clearly identify their service as part of a fire detection system. This makes the pipework easy to distinguish from other building services during installation, maintenance and inspection.
What certifications does the VESDA Radius Bend hold?
The VESDA Radius Bend is certified to BS EN ISO 9001, EN54-20, and EN61386-1 Class 1131 ABS, ensuring it meets recognised quality and performance standards for fire detection applications.
Is the VESDA Radius Bend compatible with other VESDA pipe and fittings?
Yes, the VESDA Radius Bend is designed to be used as part of the wider VESDA aspirating smoke detection pipework system and is compatible with other standard VESDA pipe and fittings.
How does the VESDA Radius Bend compare to metal pipe fittings?
The ABS construction makes the VESDA Radius Bend significantly lighter than equivalent metal pipe fittings, making it easier to handle and install. It also offers good chemical resistance without the risk of corrosion associated with some metal alternatives.
Who manufactures the VESDA Radius Bend?
The VESDA Radius Bend is manufactured by Honeywell Security, a globally recognised leader in fire detection and building automation solutions.
