An elbow fitting allows two pipes to be connected at right angles, ensuring that pipes can discreetly stick to the side of a house, or navigate effectively around a protruding object. Elbow fittings have FIP (Female Iron Pipe) on both ends, meaning that it connects to a MPT (Male Pipe Thread), which is most commonly found on pipes. It is possible to purchase a "street elbow", which has an FIP and an MPT at different ends. Elbows can also occasionally be seen with different angles – generally available are elbows at 45° and 22.5°.
