What Is a Reducing 90 Degree Elbow?
A reducing 90-degree elbow combines two piping functions in a single threaded fitting: it changes the direction of the piping run by 90 degrees while transitioning from one nominal pipe size to another.
- Changes piping direction by 90 degrees
- Transitions between different pipe sizes
- Female threaded connections accept compatible male-threaded components
- Can eliminate the need for a separate reducing fitting in certain layouts
- Available in numerous size combinations for threaded piping systems
Why Use a Reducing Elbow?
Change Direction
Creates a 90-degree turn in a compatible threaded piping system.
Reduce Pipe Size
Transitions between different nominal pipe sizes at the same point where the piping changes direction.
Compact Installation
Combining the elbow and reduction into one fitting can simplify piping layouts where space is limited.
Common Applications
Commercial & Mechanical
- Threaded piping systems
- Mechanical rooms
- Heating equipment piping
- Utility piping
- Equipment connections
- Maintenance and repair
Industrial
- Black pipe installations
- Plant piping
- Equipment piping
- Process-support piping
- Threaded distribution systems
- Piping modifications
Understanding the Size
Each variant lists two nominal connection sizes. For example, a 2" x 1-1/2" reducing elbow connects compatible 2" and 1-1/2" threaded piping while providing a 90-degree change in direction.
Always verify both connection sizes before ordering. These fittings are not equal-size elbows.
How to Select the Correct Reducing Elbow
- Step 1: Identify the larger nominal pipe connection.
- Step 2: Identify the smaller nominal pipe connection.
- Step 3: Confirm a 90-degree change in direction is required.
- Step 4: Confirm female threaded connections are required on both ends.
- Step 5: Match both dimensions to the correct Midland part number.

Installation Guidance
- Verify both nominal pipe sizes before installation.
- Inspect threads for damage or contamination before assembly.
- Use thread sealant appropriate for the piping system and application.
- Start threaded connections carefully to avoid cross-threading.
- Tighten using appropriate tools and installation practices.
- Avoid excessive torque that could damage the fitting or mating component.
- Support connected piping to minimize mechanical stress on the elbow.
- Test the completed piping system according to applicable requirements.
Our pipe, fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your pipe sizes, threaded connection requirements, 90-degree piping layout, fitting selection, and application before you order.

What is a reducing 90-degree elbow?
A reducing elbow changes piping direction by 90 degrees while connecting two different nominal pipe sizes.
Are both connections female threaded?
Yes. This listing is configured for female pipe thread connections on both ends for use with compatible male-threaded piping components.
How do I read a size such as 1-1/2" x 3/4"?
The two dimensions identify the nominal sizes of the two threaded connections. In this example, the elbow transitions between 1-1/2" and 3/4" piping.
Can a reducing elbow replace an elbow and separate reducer?
In compatible piping layouts, a reducing elbow can provide both the 90-degree turn and size transition in a single fitting.
Are out-of-stock variants included?
Yes. All source variants shown with pricing are included in this listing regardless of the inventory status displayed by the source.
What is the largest configuration?
The largest configuration shown in this listing is 4" x 2", Midland part number 65152.
Important Ordering Notes
- This listing contains 28 priced Midland black reducing elbow configurations.
- All source variants shown have pricing and are included.
- Priced out-of-stock variants are retained in the listing.
- Verify both nominal pipe connection sizes before ordering.
