Elbow Fitting for Pipes

Posted by max dsouza on April 23rd, 2021

An elbow is installed between two lengths of pipe (or tubing) to allow a change of direction, usually a 90° or 45° angle; 22.5° elbows are also available. The ends may be machined for butt welding, threaded (usually female), or socketed. When the ends differ in size, it is known as a reducing (or reducer) elbow.

A pipe elbow is frequently used in pressurized applications and is available in various shapes and sizes for use in different applications. A pipe elbow is a fitting installed between two lengths of pipe or tube allowing a change of direction, usually in the 90° or 45° direction.

Elbows come in a variety of connections, including threaded, weldable, socketed and flanged. When it comes to threaded elbows, male-x-male and female-x-female connections are most common. “Street elbows”, however, come in male-x-female configurations.>

Elbows normally have the same size connection on both ends. When one is smaller than the other, that fitting is called a “reducing elbow”. These should be used with caution, as the change in pipe diameter will result in a change in pressure.
