Abstract
An elbow connection includes a first conduit, a second conduit, and a bend. The first conduit defines a first open end. The first open end is configured to connect to a first external component and establish fluid communication between the first conduit and the first external component. The second conduit defines a second open end. The second open end is configured to connect to a second external component and establish fluid communication between the second conduit and the second external component. The bend extends between the first and second conduits. The bend defines a channel extending between the first and second conduits. The channel establishes fluid communication between the first and second conduits. The bend has a ramped surface that at least partially defines the channel and extends between the first and second conduits. The bend orients the first conduit at an angle relative to the second conduit.
