Elbow Fittings

Elbow-type fittings are used to change the direction of flow within piping systems. Typically manufactured in 45°, 90°, or custom angles, these fittings connect two pipes while altering the flow path, enabling efficient routing in confined or complex layouts. Available in a variety of materials such as stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, and plastic, elbow fittings are selected based on pressure, temperature, and media compatibility.

Their primary purpose is to accommodate directional changes without compromising system integrity or flow performance. By providing a smooth transition, elbow fittings help minimize turbulence, pressure drops, and mechanical stress within the piping network. This contributes to system efficiency, extends component life, and reduces the risk of leaks or failures in directional junctions.

Elbow-type fittings are especially valuable in systems where space constraints or design geometry prevent straight-line routing. Their use supports compact installations and helps align piping with equipment or structural elements, enabling flexible system design. Threaded, welded, and flanged options provide compatibility with various connection standards and assembly preferences.

Widely used across general industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, HVAC, power generation, manufacturing, and water treatment, elbow fittings are vital in both liquid and gas handling systems. Their correct selection and installation ensure reliable flow control and long-term system performance in demanding industrial environments.
