Elbow Configuration
Female NPT Connection
One end features a precision-machined female NPT connection for use with compatible male-threaded pipe, nipples, fittings, valves, or equipment.
45° Direction Change
The elbow redirects the piping system by 45 degrees, providing a more gradual directional change 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 XH Bronze 45° Elbows are manufactured from high-quality bronze to provide dependable mechanical strength and excellent corrosion resistance in demanding piping environments.
The extra heavy wall construction provides increased material thickness and durability compared with standard-weight fitting configurations.
Precision-machined female NPT threads on both ends help provide consistent engagement with compatible male-threaded piping components when installed using accepted piping practices.
Why Choose an XH Bronze 45° Elbow?
Gradual Pipe Routing
- Changes piping direction by 45 degrees
- Provides a gentler turn than a 90° elbow
- Useful for offsets and gradual routing changes
- Connects two male-threaded piping components
- Suitable for new installations and repairs
Extra Heavy Bronze Construction
- Robust fitting body
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Dependable mechanical strength
- Suitable for demanding piping environments
- Designed for long-term 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
Use PTFE tape or an appropriate thread sealant on mating male NPT threads according to the system media, pressure, temperature, and installation requirements.
Typical Applications
Plumbing & Commercial
- Commercial plumbing systems
- Water distribution piping
- Mechanical piping
- Equipment connections
- Maintenance and repair
Industrial & Marine
- Industrial piping systems
- Marine piping applications
- Compatible oil and air systems
- Utility piping
- General fluid handling systems
Size Selection
Midland XH Bronze 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, extra heavy requirements, system media, pressure, temperature, and material compatibility before you order.

What material is this elbow made from?
It is manufactured from bronze.
What does XH mean?
XH stands for Extra Heavy and identifies the more robust construction of the fitting.
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 piping direction 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 offsets or piping layouts where a full right-angle turn is not required.
Why choose bronze?
Bronze provides dependable mechanical strength and excellent corrosion resistance in compatible plumbing, commercial, industrial, and marine piping environments.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use PTFE tape or an appropriate pipe-thread sealant on mating male NPT connections according to the application requirements.
What media can this elbow be used with?
The supplied product information identifies water, oil, air, and other compatible fluid systems as possible applications.
Are multiple sizes available?
Yes. The supplied product information identifies multiple nominal pipe sizes.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm nominal pipe size, both mating male NPT connections, 45-degree routing requirements, system pressure, temperature, media compatibility, and installation requirements.
