180-degree elbow

In piping systems, elbows are pipe fittings used to change the direction of the pipeline. They come in three commonly used angles: 45°, 90°, and 180°. Additionally, elbows with other non-standard angles, such as 60°, are available as needed for engineering purposes. Materials for elbows include cast iron, stainless steel, alloy steel, malleable cast iron, carbon steel, non-ferrous metals, and plastics.

Connection methods to pipes include: direct welding (common method), flange connection, hot melt connection, electric melt connection, threaded connection, and socket weld connection, etc. Categorized by production process, they are: welding elbow, stamped elbow, expanded elbow, cast elbow, and socket welding elbow, etc. Other names: 90-degree elbow, right-angle elbow, etc.
