A socket weld 45° elbow gives a 45° change of direction in small-bore lines with a strong fillet-welded joint.

Socket weld fittings are forged fittings with a socket bore into which the plain-end pipe is inserted and fillet welded. They are widely used for small-bore process, steam, instrument and hydraulic lines where a strong, leak-tight joint is needed.
