45° Elbow Configuration
Female NPT Inlet
One female NPT opening accepts compatible male-threaded pipe or fittings.
45° Forged Body
The forged elbow body redirects the piping run through a 45-degree angle for a more gradual change in direction.
Female NPT Outlet
The second female NPT opening connects to the adjoining male-threaded pipe or fitting.
Construction Details
These 3000# threaded 45° elbows are manufactured from normalized ASME SA105N forged carbon steel. Forged fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.11, while NPT threads conform to ASME B1.20.1.
The precision-machined female NPT connections provide compatibility with suitable male-threaded piping components, while the 45-degree forged body provides a gradual directional change within a compact fitting.
Why Choose a Forged Steel Threaded 45° Elbow?
Gradual Directional Change
- Changes pipe direction by 45 degrees
- Female NPT connections on both ends
- Provides a less abrupt change than a 90° elbow
- Compact forged fitting configuration
- Designed for compatible 3000# threaded systems
Forged Steel Construction
- Manufactured from forged carbon steel
- Material conforms to ASME SA105N
- Normalized material condition
- Dimensions conform to ASME B16.11
- Manufactured in an ISO-certified facility
45° Elbow vs. 90° Elbow
Threaded 45° Elbow
A 45° elbow provides a gradual directional change and is useful where the piping route needs to shift without making a full right-angle turn.
Threaded 90° Elbow
A 90° elbow changes the piping direction by a full right angle and is commonly used where a sharper directional transition is required.
Typical Applications

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 3000# forged steel threaded 45° elbow?
It is a forged steel fitting with two female NPT connections designed to change the direction of compatible threaded piping by 45 degrees.
What type of connections does this elbow use?
This fitting uses female NPT threaded connections on both ends.
Why use a 45° elbow instead of a 90° elbow?
A 45° elbow provides a more gradual directional change when the piping layout does not require a full 90-degree turn.
What material standard applies?
The supplied product information states that forged steel fitting material conforms to ASME SA105N.
Is the material normalized?
Yes. The supplied product information specifies normalized forged carbon steel.
What dimensional standard applies?
Forged steel fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.11.
What standard applies to the NPT threads?
NPT threads conform to ASME B1.20.1.
What standards apply to related forged steel products?
Forged steel socket weld inserts conform to MSS-SP-79, unions conform to MSS-SP-83, and outlet fittings conform to MSS-SP-97.
Is the manufacturing facility ISO certified?
Yes. The supplied product information states that the manufacturing facility is ISO certified.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the nominal pipe size, 3000# class, female NPT connection requirements, material requirements, and applicable piping-system specifications before ordering.
