Technical & Selection Guide

When to Use a 135° / 45° Angled Fitting

While a 90-degree elbow is the most common choice, you should select an angled fitting like the SPLD when:

The ideal path for your tubing is not a sharp right angle.

Using a 90-degree elbow would force the tube into a tight bend, potentially causing it to kink or restrict flow.

The overall aesthetics and neatness of the tubing layout are important.

Using the correct angle reduces stress on the tube and fitting, leading to a more reliable, longer-lasting connection.

FAQ

Frequently Asked questions

Q: Is this a 135-degree or a 45-degree fitting?

A: It can be described both ways. It creates a 45-degree turn from a straight line, resulting in a 135-degree angle between the two ports. "45-degree fitting" is the more common search term.

Q: Does this fitting swivel?

A: Yes. The SPLD series features a swivel design, allowing you to tighten the male thread first and then rotate the fitting body to the perfect orientation.

Q: Can this fitting be used for steam?

A: Yes, the 316 stainless steel body combined with the FKM O-ring makes this fitting suitable for low-pressure steam applications within its -20°C to 140°C temperature range.
