45 Degree Elbow

Click Here for all Threaded Fittings

Description:

• A 45 Degree Elbow is a directional pipe fitting characterised by a 45-degree angle bend. It features female BSP threads on both ends, designed to receive male-threaded pipes or fittings.

Uses:

• 45 Degree Threaded Elbows are essential for introducing a 45-degree directional change in a pipe run.
• They are specifically used to connect two male-threaded pipes or fittings, creating a secure, angled joint.
• Commonly employed in plumbing systems to navigate around obstacles or to offset pipework at a precise 45-degree angle.

Advantages:

• The compact design, utilising female threads on both ends, allows for a tight and close-radius connection between two male pipes, saving valuable space in confined installations.
• Provides a smoother change of direction than a sharp bend, reducing fluid turbulence and pressure drop.

Installation:

• Installation is straightforward: Screw the 45-degree elbow firmly onto the male pipe thread until tight. The male tapered threads create a mechanical, leak-proof seal.

Size Classification:

• A threaded 45° elbow is classified by the nominal pipe size it accommodates. The size indicates the diameter of the male BSP thread it connects to.
• For Example: A 1/2" 45-degree elbow is designed to connect to a pipe with a 1/2" male BSP thread.

Also known as:

• 45 Pipe Elbow
• 45 Degree Fitting
• 45 Degree Plumbing Elbow

Alternate options:

• An alternative is a Street Elbow, which features a female thread on one end and a male thread on the other, allowing it to connect directly to a female fitting without a nipple.
• Another common alternative is a standard Pipe Elbow which, like this model, has female threads on both sides but may come in varying radii.

Materials:

• Manufactured in Stainless Steel 304 & 316

More Information:

A 45-degree pipe fitting is a fundamental component in plumbing, irrigation, and industrial piping systems, designed to facilitate a smooth 45-degree change in flow direction. These threaded fittings consist of a curved pipe section with female (internal) threads on both ends. This configuration allows for a rapid and secure connection to pipes or male-threaded fittings. The Stainless Steel 45 elbow features female BSP Parallel threads on both ports, enabling a quick and reliable installation by simply screwing them onto corresponding male-threaded pipes. Screwing onto BSP tapered threads ensures a progressively tighter fit, creating a robust, leak-proof seal that can withstand high pressure. This makes them suitable for a diverse range of applications, from residential plumbing and gas fitting to commercial infrastructure and industrial processing across Australia. The distinct 45-degree angle of this elbow provides a gentler curve compared to a 90-degree fitting. This design is ideal for redirecting fluid or flow around corners or obstacles while minimising flow resistance and pressure loss—a key consideration for maintaining system efficiency. Whether you need a stainless steel 45-degree elbow for a marine environment or a standard fitting for a domestic water line, this component, manufactured in both SS304 and SS316, guarantees longevity and lasting performance against corrosion.
