An elbow pipe is a type of pipe fitting that allows for a change in the direction of the piping system. It is designed to facilitate a change in the flow direction of fluids (liquids or gases) within a pipeline.

Elbow pipes are typically curved and come in various angles, most commonly 90 degrees and 45 degrees, although other angles are also available. They are used when a change in the direction of flow is needed, allowing pipes to be connected at different angles instead of in a straight line.

These fittings are crucial for routing pipelines around obstacles, navigating tight spaces, or simply changing the direction of fluid flow within a system. Elbow pipes are available in different materials such as metal (like stainless steel or copper), PVC (polyvinyl chloride), or other plastics, chosen based on the specific requirements of the application and the nature of the substances being transported within the piping system.
