We looked at 22.5 deg joints but it's not so much the angle (well, 22.5 vs
90 yes, but...) as the sudden increase in outer diameter due to the joint.
Once you build some flexibility for the increase in diamater due to the
fitting, most of the problem of size for the angle is already deal with. If
there was a 0 degree joint (ie, just two fittings) you'd need to do 1/4"
flexibility. a 45 deg requires 1/2" flexibility, but once you'd invested
the time to do such a thing, 1/4 vs a 1/2" isn't as much of a deal.
