Elbow

An elbow is a common pipe fitting used to change the direction of a piping system by connecting two pipes at an angle. These fittings typically have a 90-degree or 45-degree bend, but variations with other angles are also available to suit specific needs. Elbows come in various materials, including stainless steel, brass, PVC, and copper, allowing for compatibility with different types of piping systems and environments. They may have female or male threads, socket weld, or butt weld ends, depending on the application and installation requirements. Elbows are essential components in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial piping systems, enabling smooth fluid flow and efficient routing around obstacles or corners. They provide a reliable and leak-free connection between pipes while accommodating changes in direction, reducing friction, and minimizing pressure drop within the system.
