Simple question regarding flanged reducers

[workingweekends]

Do suppliers have ductile iron reducing 45 bends? Thought I saw them somewhere now I can't find them. I suppose anything can be made custom, just not sure if this fitting is uncommon or simply doesnt exist.

Typically a specialty item. Use a short radius 45 deg ell with a straight reducer after.

Added to Ron's answer: depending on size and details a custom fabricated item (steel) might be simpler to mount and cheaper. Some manufacturers specialize in fast delivery and relatively cheap products.

Depending on your application, you might need to consider air pockets:

Thank you for the responses. Working on a rehab for a lift station. Existing dry pit for the pumps has limited space... will probably have to use some custom steel fittings.
