Description
Leaded Import Chrome Plated 45° Elbow
Leaded Import Chrome Plated 45° Elbows are threaded fittings designed to create a 45-degree change in piping direction while providing the appearance and surface protection of a chrome-plated finish. These fittings are well suited for compatible plumbing, mechanical, and general-service piping applications where a more gradual directional change is needed.
This product is identified as a leaded import chrome plated fitting. Manufacturer dimensional and certification documentation is provided below for reference.

45° Elbow Construction
A 45° elbow is used to redirect a piping run through a partial-angle turn rather than a full 90-degree change. This can be useful where a smoother or more gradual change in routing is preferred.
The threaded connection allows installation with compatible pipe, nipples, fittings, valves, or equipment connections.
The chrome-plated exterior provides a finished appearance for compatible exposed plumbing and mechanical applications.
