Elbow Configuration
Female NPT Inlet
One female threaded end accepts a compatible male NPT pipe, nipple, fitting, valve, or equipment connection.
45° Bronze Body
The angled body redirects the piping run by 45° for a more gradual change in direction than a 90° elbow.
Female NPT Outlet
The opposite female threaded end accepts a second compatible male NPT component of the matching nominal size.
Construction Details
Midland Bronze 45 Degree Elbows are manufactured from high-quality bronze to provide dependable mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life in compatible piping environments.
Precision-machined female NPT threads on both ends help provide consistent engagement with standard male-threaded piping components.
The 45° body configuration provides a more gradual routing change than a standard 90° elbow and can be useful where smoother transitions are preferred.
Why Choose a 45 Degree Elbow?
Gradual Direction Change
- Changes piping direction by 45°
- Useful for offsets and routing adjustments
- More gradual than a 90° turn
- Suitable for compact piping layouts
- Useful in new installations and repairs
Bronze Construction
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Dependable mechanical strength
- Good dezincification resistance
- Suitable for compatible fluid systems
- Designed for long-term service
45 Degree vs. 90 Degree Elbow
45° Elbow
A 45° elbow provides a gradual directional adjustment and is commonly used for offsets or less abrupt changes in piping direction.
90° Elbow
A 90° elbow creates a right-angle turn and is generally selected when a sharper change in direction is required.
Typical Applications
Plumbing & Water Systems
- Residential plumbing
- Commercial plumbing
- Water piping
- Routing offsets
- Maintenance and repairs
Commercial & Industrial
- Industrial piping systems
- Oil piping
- Air systems
- Mechanical piping layouts
- General fluid handling systems
Size Selection
Midland Bronze 45 Degree Elbows are available in multiple nominal pipe sizes.
Confirm the required pipe size and verify that both connected components use compatible male NPT threads before ordering.
Our pipe and fitting specialists can help review your nominal pipe size, NPT compatibility, system media, pressure, temperature, and routing requirements before you order.

What is a 45 degree bronze elbow used for?
It is used to change the direction of a threaded piping system by 45°.
What material is this fitting made from?
It is manufactured from bronze.
What type of connections does it use?
It uses female NPT threaded connections on both ends.
What connects to the female threaded ends?
Compatible male NPT pipe, nipples, fittings, valves, or equipment connections can be installed into each end.
How is a 45 degree elbow different from a 90 degree elbow?
A 45° elbow provides a more gradual directional change, while a 90° elbow creates a right-angle turn.
Can it be used for piping offsets?
Yes. A 45° elbow is commonly used where a gradual offset or routing adjustment is needed.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use an appropriate pipe-thread sealant or PTFE tape on NPT connections according to the application requirements.
What media can this fitting be used with?
The supplied product information identifies water, oil, air, and other compatible fluids.
Are multiple sizes available?
Yes. The supplied product information identifies multiple nominal pipe sizes.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm nominal pipe size, NPT compatibility, system pressure, temperature, media compatibility, and required piping direction.
