Additional Information for Pipe Elbow
Pipe elbows are fittings used in plumbing and piping systems to change the direction of the flow. They are typically made of metal or plastic and are available in various sizes and angles. Pipe elbows are commonly used in applications where a change in direction is required, such as in water supply systems, HVAC systems, and industrial piping systems. They are designed to provide a smooth and efficient flow of fluids or gases while minimizing pressure drop and turbulence. Pipe elbows are essential components in the construction and maintenance of pipe systems, ensuring proper flow and preventing leaks or blockages.
