A flanged offset elbow is a specialized pipe fitting designed to change both the direction and alignment of piping systems while providing flanged ends for secure bolted connections. Unlike a standard elbow that only redirects flow at an angle (typically 45° or 90°), an offset elbow also shifts the pipeline laterally or vertically, helping to navigate around structural obstacles or equipment. Commonly made from steel, stainless steel, or PVC, these components are widely used in industrial piping, HVAC systems, chemical plants, and other applications requiring precise alignment and robust joint integrity.
