Sanitary Tri-Clamp 45 Degree Elbow
The Sanitary Tri-Clamp 45 Degree Elbow is a hygienic pipe fitting designed to redirect process flow at a 45-degree angle, offering a gentler flow transition compared to the 90-degree elbow. Its tri-clamp end connections on both ends allow quick, tool-free assembly, making it ideal for applications that require frequent dismantling for inspection or cleaning. Manufactured from 304 or 316L sanitary-grade stainless steel, this elbow meets strict hygiene regulations and is suitable for use in food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic processing environments. The 45-degree angle reduces turbulence and pressure drop in the pipeline, making it a preferred choice for flow-sensitive applications.
