The 22.5° angle provides optimal versatility for tight spaces and custom routing applications where standard angles are too sharp or too gradual. This precise angle offers smooth water flow with minimal turbulence, making it ideal for architectural applications requiring subtle direction changes. It's particularly valuable for complex building designs and professional installations requiring precision positioning.
