Description
304 Stainless Steel 150# 45° Threaded Elbow - SP112
Charman Inc 304 Stainless Steel 150# 45° Threaded Elbows - SP112 provide a corrosion-resistant solution for changing the direction of a threaded piping system by 45 degrees. Available in nominal pipe sizes from 1/8" through 4", these stainless steel elbows are designed for industrial, commercial, mechanical, utility, and process-piping applications.
The female NPT connections at both ends allow compatible male-threaded pipe, nipples, fittings, and equipment connections to be joined without welding. The 45-degree configuration provides a more gradual directional change than a 90-degree elbow and can be useful where piping layout, clearance, or routing requirements call for a less abrupt turn.

What Is an SP112 45° Threaded Elbow?
The Charman Inc SP112 45° elbow is a stainless steel threaded fitting designed to change the direction of a piping run by 45 degrees. Female NPT connections at both ends accept compatible male-threaded piping components of the same nominal size.
A 45-degree elbow provides a less abrupt directional change than a 90-degree elbow. It is commonly used to create offsets, route piping around equipment or structural obstacles, and transition piping where a full right-angle turn is unnecessary.
Why Choose a 304 Stainless Steel SP112 45° Elbow?
304 Stainless Steel Construction
- Provides good general corrosion resistance
- Suitable for many industrial and commercial piping environments
- Durable construction for threaded piping systems
- Useful where stainless steel piping components are specified
- Well suited for process, utility, and mechanical installations
45° Directional Change
- Changes piping direction by 45 degrees
- Useful for gradual offsets and directional transitions
- Can simplify routing around equipment and obstructions
- Female NPT connections at both ends
- No welding required for threaded assembly
Common Applications
Industrial & Process Piping
- Process piping systems
- Industrial utility piping
- Equipment connections
- Threaded stainless steel assemblies
- Maintenance and repair installations
Commercial & Mechanical Systems
- Commercial plumbing systems
- Mechanical piping installations
- Pipe routing around equipment
- Offset piping arrangements
- Fabricated threaded assemblies
45° Elbow vs. 90° Elbow
A 45° elbow changes piping direction by 45 degrees, while a 90° elbow creates a right-angle turn. A 45° elbow is often selected when a more gradual change in direction, an offset, or additional routing flexibility is needed.
The SP112 fittings in this listing are equal-size 45° elbows with female NPT connections at both ends.
Where an SP112 45° Elbow Makes Sense
- Creating a 45-degree change in piping direction
- Building offsets in threaded piping runs
- Routing pipe around equipment or structural obstacles
- Reducing the need for an abrupt 90-degree turn
- Connecting threaded components in angled piping layouts
- Industrial equipment and utility connections
- Maintenance, repair, and retrofit installations

Installation & Selection Guidance
- Confirm the required nominal pipe size before ordering.
- Verify that both mating components have compatible male NPT connections.
- Confirm that a 45-degree directional change is appropriate for the piping layout.
- Confirm that 304 stainless steel is compatible with the intended service.
- Inspect fitting and mating threads for damage or contamination before assembly.
- Use a thread-sealing method appropriate for the system media, temperature, pressure, and application.
- Begin threaded assembly carefully to reduce the risk of cross-threading.
- Tighten connections using appropriate tools and accepted threaded-piping practices.
- Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the fitting or mating threads.
- Support connected piping to avoid excessive mechanical loading on the elbow.
- Confirm system pressure and temperature requirements before installation.
- Pressure-test completed piping assemblies where required.
- Installation should be completed by qualified personnel and in accordance with applicable codes and specifications.
Product Selection Considerations
Nominal Pipe Size
Select the SP112 45° elbow based on the nominal pipe size of the male NPT piping components being connected. Both openings on each elbow are the same nominal size.
Required Direction Change
Choose a 45° elbow for a gradual directional change or piping offset. For a full right-angle change in direction, a 90° threaded elbow may be more appropriate.
