Anglo Stainless supplies stainless steel socket weld 45° elbows for changing pipe direction through 45 degrees within a socket weld system. Also known as SW 45 elbows or socket weld 45 degree elbows, these fittings locate the pipe in a machined socket before welding, giving accurate alignment and a strong, leak-resistant joint. Our socket weld elbows are held in stock in the UK for fast despatch and supplied with full material certification.
We stock socket weld 45° elbows in two ranges: a 150LB range in cast grade CF8M (316) stainless steel, and a 3000LB range in forged 316/316L stainless steel for higher-pressure pipework. The 3000LB range is manufactured to ANSI B16.11 / BS3799. Between the two ranges we cover sizes from 1/4″ to 2″ (DN8–DN50). If you need a size or rating not shown, larger sizes are available to order — contact our team to check availability.
A 45° elbow is used where a pipe run needs a gradual change of direction, offering lower flow resistance than a 90° bend. Socket weld 45 elbows are widely specified in petrochemical, oil and gas, marine and process pipework where durable, vibration-resistant connections are essential. For a right-angle change of direction, see our socket weld 90° elbows.
