Description
A 45 Degree Welding Elbow – Schedule 40 is a type of pipe fitting designed to create a 45-degree change in direction within a piping system. The Schedule 40 designation refers to the wall thickness of the pipe, which is standard for many fluid transfer applications, providing a balance between durability and cost-effectiveness.
This elbow fitting is made for welding, ensuring a permanent, leak-proof connection when joined to pipes. It is commonly used in irrigation, plumbing, and various industrial and agricultural systems where a reliable directional change is needed to navigate the layout of the pipeline or accommodate specific system designs.
The 45-degree angle helps create smoother transitions in piping compared to sharper turns, reducing turbulence, minimizing pressure loss, and supporting efficient flow. The material of these elbows can vary, often being constructed from steel, aluminum, or other metals suited for different environmental conditions and fluid types.
