Needle Valve:
A needle valve is a type of valve with a small port and a threaded,
needle-shaped plunger. It allows precise regulation of flow, although it is
generally only capable of relatively low flow rates.

Miter Bend
Miter bends are not standard pipe fittings they are fabricated from pipes. Usually, they are preferred for size
10” & above because large size elbow is expensive. Use of miter bend is restricted to the low-pressure
water line. Miter bend can be fabricated in 2, 3, & 5 pieces.
45 Degree Elbow
45 Degree elbow is installed between the pipe to change the direction of the pipe by 45 Degree.
