90-degree elbow​ welded fittings

// 90° elbow for precise pipe joints in stainless steel balustrade construction.

For modern design and clean lines: our 90° stainless steel corner pieces as welded fittings. Unlike traditional pipe bends, these components provide a sharp 90° turn without a large radius. Ideal for building rectangular frames, modern railings and structures in V2A and V4A.

Corner fitting vs. pipe elbow: what’s the difference?

Whilst a pipe elbow (type 3) gently bends the pipe in a curve, the corner fitting creates a ‘sharp edge’. This affects both appearance and function:

The corner piece (here)

  • Appearance: Angular, cubic, modern. Looks as if it has been ‘mitred’.
  • Application: Designer railings, furniture construction, door frames.
  • Flow: Unsuitable for liquids (high resistance), perfect for structural applications.

For comparison: Pipe bend

  • Appearance: Classically curved (radius).
  • Applications: Standard balustrades, pipework.
  • Flow: Ideal for water/gas.

Workmanship & quality

Our 90° elbow fittings are solid or hollow welded fittings that ensure a quick and stable connection:

  • Weld ends: The ends are precisely matched to the pipe diameter and feature a chamfer (V-groove preparation) for a deep root weld.
  • Materials:
    • V2A (1.4301): For indoor use and normal outdoor conditions.
    • V4A (1.4404): For coastal areas, swimming pools or high chemical exposure.
  • Surface finish: Available in unpolished (for structural applications/industrial use) or polished (K240/K320) for visible designer balustrades.
Tip for fitters:
The corner piece saves you the hassle of making a mitre cut on the tube. Simply cut the tube to length straight across and weld the corner piece in between. This guarantees a perfect 90° angle without any sawing tolerances.
