90 Degree vs. 45 Degree Elbow

90° Elbow

A 90° elbow creates a right-angle turn and is commonly used where the piping needs to change direction sharply.

45° Elbow

A 45° elbow provides a more gradual directional change and is often used for offsets or less abrupt routing adjustments.

Typical Applications

Plumbing & Water Systems

Residential plumbing
Commercial plumbing
Water distribution systems
Pipe routing changes
Maintenance and repair

Commercial & Industrial

Industrial piping systems
Air piping
Oil piping
Mechanical piping layouts
General fluid handling systems

Size Selection

Midland Bronze 90 Degree Elbows are available in multiple nominal pipe sizes.

Confirm the required nominal pipe size and verify that both connected components use compatible male NPT threads before ordering.
