Galvanized elbow pipes are a type of elbow pipe with a zinc coating applied to the surface to enhance their corrosion resistance. They are available in two types: hot-dipped galvanized and electro-galvanized, with the former having a thicker zinc layer and the latter being more cost-effective but less smooth. Elbow pipes are categorized into cold-dipped and hot-dipped, with the former being banned and the latter still recommended by the state for temporary use.

In production, galvanized pipes sold directly are used, which are commonly used for bending. Another method is to apply galvanizing after the production process.
