Description
Chrome Plated 45° Elbow Brass Fitting
Chrome Plated 45° Brass Elbow Fittings provide a smooth directional change in compatible threaded piping and equipment connections. The 45-degree elbow configuration is useful when a less severe change in direction is preferred compared with a standard 90-degree elbow.
The brass body provides durable construction and corrosion resistance, while the chrome plated finish offers a clean, polished appearance for compatible exposed plumbing, instrumentation, industrial, construction, maintenance, and general fluid-handling installations.
Product Highlights
- Chrome plated brass construction
- 45° elbow configuration
- Threaded fitting design
- Provides a gradual change in piping direction
- Durable brass body
- Smooth chrome plated exterior finish
- Suitable for compatible exposed plumbing and industrial installations

Construction Details
The fitting features a durable brass body formed in a 45-degree elbow configuration for use in compatible threaded piping systems.
A chrome plated exterior provides a smooth finished appearance while adding surface protection to the underlying brass material.
The 45-degree angle allows piping direction to change more gradually than with a 90-degree elbow, making it useful where routing, clearance, or alignment requirements call for a softer turn.
How a 45° Elbow Works
Gradual Direction Change
The elbow changes the direction of the piping connection by 45 degrees, providing a more gradual turn than a 90-degree elbow.
Threaded Installation
The threaded ends connect to compatible mating fittings, valves, adapters, manifolds, or equipment connections as required by the piping layout.
45° Elbow vs. 90° Elbow
45° Elbow
Provides a gradual directional change and is commonly used where the piping layout needs to shift direction without making a full right-angle turn.
90° Elbow
Provides a right-angle change in direction for piping layouts that require a sharper turn.
Chrome Plated Brass Construction
Brass Body
Brass provides durable metal construction and corrosion resistance for compatible plumbing, instrumentation, pneumatic, construction, and industrial applications.
Chrome Plated Finish
The chrome plated exterior provides a smooth, polished appearance and added surface protection for compatible exposed installations.
Common Applications
Plumbing & Instrumentation
- Threaded plumbing connections
- Fixture connections
- Gauge and instrument piping
- Valve connections
- Regulator assemblies
- Manifold connections
Industrial & General Service
- Pneumatic equipment
- Industrial equipment connections
- Construction applications
- Maintenance and repair work

- Compatible general fluid-handling systems
Selecting the Correct Chrome Plated 45° Elbow
| Selection Point | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Connection Size | Confirm the required size of both threaded connections. |
| Thread Configuration | Verify the fitting threads match the components being connected. |
| Angle Requirement | Confirm the piping layout requires a 45° directional change. |
| Material & Finish | Confirm chrome plated brass is suitable for the media and installation environment. |
| Operating Conditions | Verify pressure, temperature, media, and application requirements before installation. |
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the fitting size and thread configuration before ordering.
- Verify the application requires a 45° directional change.
- Inspect mating threads for damage or contamination before installation.
- Use a thread-sealing method suitable for brass fittings and the intended media.
- Avoid overtightening and verify pressure, temperature, media, and application compatibility.
Our plumbing, brass fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your 45° elbow size, thread configuration, chrome plated brass material, piping layout, and application before you order.

What is a Chrome Plated 45° Brass Elbow?
It is a threaded brass fitting designed to change the direction of a compatible piping or equipment connection by 45 degrees.
Why use a 45° elbow instead of a 90° elbow?
A 45° elbow provides a more gradual change in piping direction and is useful where the layout does not require a full right-angle turn.
What material is this fitting made from?
The fitting has a brass body with a chrome plated exterior finish.
Why is the fitting chrome plated?
Chrome plating provides a smooth, polished appearance and added surface protection for compatible exposed installations.
How do I select the correct size?
Confirm the sizes and thread configuration of the mating components and make sure the application requires a 45° directional change.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use a thread-sealing method appropriate for brass threaded fittings, the transferred media, and the requirements of the piping system.
Can the fitting be overtightened?
Yes. Excessive tightening can damage the fitting or mating threads, so appropriate installation practices should be followed.
How do I know if this elbow is right for my application?
Confirm the fitting size, thread configuration, 45° angle requirement, brass compatibility, operating pressure, temperature, and transferred media before ordering.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Construction is brass with a chrome plated finish.
- Elbow angle is 45°.
- Confirm both connection sizes and thread configuration before ordering.
- Use an appropriate thread-sealing method and avoid overtightening.
- Verify material, pressure, temperature, media, and application compatibility before use.
