Product Description
Brass Flare 45 Degree Elbow is a brass fitting used to create a 45-degree change in direction for flared pipes or tubing in systems that need fluid or gas flow. The brass composition makes the fitting strong and corrosion-resistant, thus suitable for long-term, safe connections in high-pressure systems. This fitting is constructed with flare connections on both ends and is typically applied in gas, pneumatic, hydraulic, and plumbing systems. Its strength also makes brass flare elbows suitable for use where temperature changes and physical contact are prevalent. Brass Flare 45 Degree Elbow is a strong and dependable fitting utilized to form secure, leak-free connections in systems where there is a need for a 45-degree direction change.
