Grooved 45° Elbows
A grooved 45° elbow turns the line by half a right angle, making it easy to route around obstacles and change direction gradually. Both ends of the ductile iron body are grooved and joined to the line with couplings.
It is used for passing under beams and ducts, for offsets made with two 45° elbows and on headers where low flow resistance matters. Sizes run from 1¼” to 12″, with a 76.1 mm pipe option for 2½”.
Main Applications
- Passing under beams and ventilation ducts
- Line offsets made with two elbows
- Gradual branch routing on headers
- Gentle direction changes in pump rooms
- Avoiding obstacles on sprinkler lines

Which material? An offset needs a short pipe spool and two more couplings between the two 45° elbows; remember these couplings in the parts list.
