AI Technical Summary
Conventional tools like pipe wrenches and adjustable wrenches face difficulties in tightening threaded pipe fittings due to interference from protrusions or limited access in narrow spaces, making it challenging to secure the elbow effectively.
A tool with a hole at one end of a square pipe allows the elbow to be inserted perpendicular to the tightening direction, enabling the use of a wrench away from the elbow's mounting position, thus avoiding interference and ensuring proper alignment and secure tightening.
This approach facilitates secure tightening of threaded pipe fittings by allowing wrench access from a different angle, overcoming obstacles posed by protrusions and confined spaces.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention makes it easier to thread pipe fitting elbows. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, tools used to tighten the elbow of a threaded pipe joint have been pipe wrenches or adjustable wrenches. [Prior art documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention] To tighten the elbow of a threaded pipe fitting, a pipe wrench or adjustable wrench is placed on the elbow itself at a right angle to the threading direction and held in its mouth. This had the following drawbacks: (a) If there is a protrusion in an adjacent location, it will be difficult to tighten the pipe wrench or spanner if it interferes with the protrusion. (b) The same applies as (a) in narrow or recessed places where wrenches and spanners cannot be turned. The present invention has been made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] A hole (2) is provided at one end of the square pipe (1) through which the outer diameter of the elbow passes. The present invention is a tool for tightening the above-described threaded pipe joint elbow. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] When turning a square pipe, you can use a wrench or similar tool away from the elbow's mounting position, allowing you to tighten the pipe without being affected by protrusions or other objects. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
[0007] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present invention. [Figure 2] FIG. [Figure 3] Cross-sectional view of the present invention [Figure 4] FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0008] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Insert the elbow from a direction perpendicular to the tightening direction of the elbow temporarily attached to the tightening location, aligning the inner angle of the elbow with the drilling surface of the square pipe (Drawing 4-1). Rotate the square pipe 90 degrees to align the pipe axis with the screw-in direction (Drawing 4-2). Use a wrench or similar tool to tighten the square pipe. (Drawing 4-3) One side of the hole (reference number 3 in drawing 1) is to prevent deviation due to misalignment when screwing in, and to prevent the elbow from falling if it is positioned on the vertical or bottom surface.

Claims
[Claim 1] A tool that allows you to drill a hole in the end of a square pipe and screw in an elbow for a threaded pipe fitting.
