Brass 45° Elbows
A brass 45° elbow is a brass fitting with two female-threaded ends that turns a threaded water or air line by 45 degrees. It gives a smoother turn than a 90° elbow.
It is used for line offsets under walls and counters, sloped routes and connections where low flow loss is wanted. Sizes and stock vary by model.
Main Applications
- Line offsets with two 45° elbows
- Routes under counters and washbasins
- Sloped pipelines
- Low-loss turns in compressed air lines
- Angled transitions at combi boiler and calorifier connections
- In-wall and recess passages

How to Choose?
- Determine the angleChoose 45° for smooth turns and offsets, 90° for corners.
- Measure the sizeDetermine the pipe or part size in inches; ask for stock.
- Calculate the offset lengthThe pipe length between two elbows sets the offset.
- Confirm the mediumUse brass for water, heating and air.
