45° Street Elbow Construction
A 45° street elbow redirects a threaded piping run through a 45-degree turn while combining male and female threaded connections in a single fitting.
The male end can thread directly into a compatible female-threaded fitting, valve, or equipment port, while the female end accepts a compatible male-threaded pipe or fitting.
This configuration can simplify some piping layouts by combining a directional change and direct male-threaded connection in one fitting.
