Ninety-degree elbows in a piping system can significantly affect water flow by introducing additional friction and turbulence, which can lead to pressure losses. These fittings change the direction of flow abruptly, increasing resistance and potentially reducing the overall efficiency of the system. To mitigate these effects, engineers often use gradual bends or multiple smaller-angle elbows to minimize pressure drop.
