Leyon Fire Fighting FM UL Black 120 45°Elbow

Elbows in pipe fittings refer to a type of piping component used to change the direction of a pipe. It is designed to allow the flow of fluid or gas to change direction smoothly, usually at 90 degree angles or other angles such as 45 degrees or 22.5 degrees. Elbows are commonly used in a variety of industries, including plumbing, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning), oil and gas, water treatment, and industrial processes.

Elbows are available in different materials such as steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and others, depending on the specific application and required properties. For example, steel elbows are often used in industrial settings where high strength and durability are required, while PVC elbows are commonly used in plumbing and water distribution systems due to their lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties.

Elbows are available in various configurations to suit different requirements:

45 Degree Elbows: These elbows create a 45 degree turn, allowing for a smoother change in flow direction than 90 degree elbows.
