Female Elbow 45 degree

The 45-degree Female Elbow is a specialized pipe fitting designed to redirect the flow of fluids or gases at a gentle 45° angle, providing a smooth and efficient change in piping direction. With female threads on both ends, it seamlessly connects two male-threaded components, making it an ideal solution for tight spaces where a subtle directional shift is needed without disrupting flow dynamics.

Unlike the more abrupt 90° elbow, the 45° female elbow offers a gradual transition—minimizing pressure drops and turbulence, which is especially valuable in high-performance systems like hydraulic circuits, fuel lines, and chemical processing pipelines.

Whether you’re working in plumbing, HVAC, aerospace, or fluid handling applications, this fitting ensures a leak-free, durable connection while optimizing the layout of your system.

Features

  • Smooth 45° Angular Flow : Provides a gentle directional change in piping systems, minimizing pressure drop and flow turbulence.
  • Female Threaded Ends : Features internal threads (NPT/BSPT/BSPP) on both sides for easy and leak-tight connections to male-threaded components.
  • Corrosion Resistant : Available in materials like SS 304 / SS 316, brass, and other corrosion-resistant alloys for durability in aggressive environments.
  • High Pressure & Temperature Handling : Suitable for systems operating up to 6000 PSI and temperatures ranging from −65°F to 800°F (depending on material).
  • Compact & Space-Efficient : Designed for tight installations where a 90° elbow would be too restrictive or abrupt.
  • Robust Construction : Manufactured to industry standards with precision machining for reliable mechanical strength and performance.
  • Wide Compatibility : Offered in various thread standards and sizes to integrate easily with existing pipe networks.
  • Ideal for Critical Flow Applications : Commonly used in instrumentation, hydraulic, pneumatic, gas, and chemical processing systems.
