GI (Galvanized Iron) straight elbow is a pipe fitting, usually 90 or 45 degrees, made from galvanized iron that changes the direction of fluid flow in plumbing or piping systems. Its "straight" design can refer to a 90-degree "straight" angle for a sharp turn or to "street elbow" where one end is male-threaded (like a pipe nipple) and the other female, allowing direct connection to a fitting. The purpose of a GI straight elbow is to efficiently and affordably change pipe direction while providing the durability and rust resistance of galvanized iron.
