Notes
- Clamp × clamp elbows: 90° (2CMP) and 45° (2KMP), both on the same centreline radius per size; a short straight sits between each face and the bend (0.5 in, 4 in: 0.625 in).
- Centre to face is measured from the intersection of the two leg centrelines to the face; that is the number to lay out a run with.
- Faces: ISO 2852 profile (2.85 mm rim, 1.6 mm gasket recess, 20° back cone) on the BPE flange diameters ½–¾ in 25.0, 1–1½ in 50.5, 2 in 64.0, 2½ in 77.5, 3 in 91.0, 4 in 119.0 mm; tube OD 12.7 / 19.05 / 25.4 / 38.1 / 50.8 / 63.5 / 76.2 / 101.6 mm, wall 1.65 mm (4 in: 2.11). The gasket-groove diameter on ½, ¾ and 4 in is derived (flange − 7.0 / 7.5 mm, the land width of every size ISO 2852 lists); the rest is from the standard.

Questions
What is the centre-to-face of a 2 in sanitary 90° clamp elbow?
3.50 in (88.9 mm), on a 3.0 in (76.2 mm) centreline radius; the 45° is 1.75 in (44.5 mm).
Are ½ and ¾ in clamp elbows the same size?
Yes: both use the 25.0 mm mini flange and a 1.625 in centre to face (90°).
Do these mate with real sanitary fittings?
Yes: the faces are the ISO 2852 / BPE profile, so a standard clamp and gasket join them to any clamp fitting of the same size.
