In pneumatic systems and high-flow liquid lines, a 45° elbow reduces turbulence and pressure loss compared to a sharp 90°.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBSP Thread Standards\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBSP (British Standard Pipe) is the thread standard used throughout Australian industrial and trade plumbing. There are two types: BSPP (parallel) and BSPT (tapered). Tapered threads seal by thread engagement and sealant; parallel threads require a face seal or O-ring to achieve a pressure-tight joint. Most Australian pneumatic fittings use BSPP with a bonded seal or thread tape. Confirm the thread type of your existing installation before ordering to ensure compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePressure Ratings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrass elbow fittings are widely used in pneumatic systems operating at standard shop air pressures (up to 20 bar for many standard fittings) and in low-to-medium pressure fluid systems. For high-pressure hydraulic systems, specify fittings rated for the operating pressure of your system — standard brass fittings are not rated for high-pressure hydraulics. Check the working pressure specification before use in any pressurised application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrder Brass Elbows from AIMS Industrial\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAIMS Industrial supplies brass elbow fittings in a full range of sizes and configurations.
