APPLICATIONS OF THE 90 DEGREE ELBOW

common applications for 90 degree elbows:
90-degree elbows are used in marine applications, including water and waste management, fuel systems and hvac (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems. they are also commonly used in fishing vessels and yachts where they play a vital role in maintaining the overall integrity of the piping system.

characteristics of 90 degree elbows
features of 90 degree elbows
the elbow is used to change the direction of flow in a piping system.
elbows are available in a variety of materials including stainless steel, carbon steel and alloy steel.
elbows are available in a range of sizes from 1/8″ to 48″.
elbows are available in various angles, including 90 degrees, 45 degrees and 180 degrees.

elbows are used in a variety of applications including automotive, plumbing and hvac.

the primary use of a 90 degree elbow is to change the direction of flow in a piping system. 
this is essential where bending a pipe would cause potential damage or a reduction in flow. for example, if a pipe needs to pass through a wall and continue along another wall, a 90 degree elbow is used to make the transition. 90-degree elbows are also used to connect a pipe to a fitting or piece of equipment at right angles to the pipe. another common use of a 90 degree elbow is to reduce friction losses in the system.
