Elbow Configuration
Female NPT Connection
One end features a precision-machined female NPT connection for installation with a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, fitting, valve, or equipment connection.
45° Direction Change
The elbow redirects the piping system by 45 degrees, providing a more gradual change in direction than a standard 90-degree elbow.
Female NPT Connection
The opposite end also features a female NPT connection for joining another compatible male-threaded piping component.
Construction Details
Midland Aluminum 45° Elbows are manufactured from high-quality aluminum to provide dependable strength, corrosion resistance, and reduced fitting weight.
Precision-machined female NPT threads on both ends provide consistent engagement with compatible male-threaded components when installed using accepted piping practices.
The 45-degree body design provides a gradual directional change that can help simplify routing around equipment, structures, and other piping components.
Why Choose an Aluminum 45° Elbow?
Gradual Pipe Routing
- Changes piping direction by 45 degrees
- Provides a gentler directional transition than a 90° elbow
- Useful for offset piping arrangements
- Helps route piping around equipment and obstructions
- Suitable for new installations and repairs
Lightweight Aluminum Construction
- Lower weight than many steel alternatives
- Corrosion-resistant material
- Easy handling during installation
- Useful in weight-sensitive piping systems
- Designed for dependable threaded service
NPT Threaded Connections
Female NPT x Female NPT
Both ends use female NPT threads for connection to compatible male NPT pipe, nipples, fittings, valves, or equipment connections.
Thread Sealing
Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to mating male NPT threads according to the piping material, system media, and installation requirements.
Typical Applications
Pneumatic & Utility
- Compressed air systems
- Pneumatic piping
- Utility piping
- Equipment connections
- Offset pipe routing
Industrial & General Service
- Industrial piping systems
- Mechanical systems
- Maintenance and repair
- Fluid handling equipment
- Compatible general-purpose piping systems
Size Selection
Midland Aluminum 45° Elbows are available in multiple nominal pipe sizes.
Confirm the required nominal pipe size and verify that both mating components use compatible male NPT threads before ordering.
Our pipe and fitting specialists can help review your nominal pipe size, female NPT connections, 45° piping layout, system media, pressure, temperature, and material compatibility before you order.

What material is this elbow made from?
The fitting is manufactured from aluminum.
What type of connections does it use?
It uses female NPT threaded connections on both ends.
What angle does this elbow provide?
The fitting changes the direction of the piping system by 45 degrees.
Why use a 45° elbow instead of a 90° elbow?
A 45° elbow provides a more gradual directional change and can be useful for offset piping layouts or smoother routing around equipment and obstructions.
Are multiple sizes available?
Yes. Midland Aluminum 45° Elbows are available in multiple nominal pipe sizes.
Why choose aluminum?
Aluminum provides a lightweight, corrosion-resistant option for compatible threaded piping systems.
Should thread sealant be used?
Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to all mating NPT threaded connections according to the application requirements.
Can these elbows be used in pneumatic systems?
The supplied product information identifies pneumatic and general industrial piping among the intended applications.
Can aluminum be connected to dissimilar metals?
It may be used with compatible materials, but galvanic compatibility should be considered when aluminum is connected to dissimilar metals.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the nominal pipe size, mating male NPT threads, required 45-degree directional change, system pressure, temperature, media compatibility, and installation requirements.
