Can the standard steel elbow be modified to give a small radius elbow, for tighter bends when routing pipe? The "Elbow-Generic-Standard" is fine but the radius is a bit too big for me. I am using Carbon Steel - schedule 40 pipe)

I think that “Elbow – Generic Standard” is a quite tight bend already. If we take for example that specific Revit OOTB fittings family, in the Nominal Diameter 125.0 mm, it has Fitting Outside Diameter: 128.2 mm and Center to End distance: 70.4 mm. That means that the Center to End distance is only 6.3 mm bigger than Fitting Outside Radius, i.e., pretty tight. I don’t think one could find an elbow much tighter than that.

Still in need of small radius elbow for stainless steel pipe - I only have the large version. Could someone upload one, or direct me where it can be obtained?

Or is there a fitting available for this?
What is your pipe diameter and what radius do you want the elbow to be?

It should be possible to export the lookup table from the standard elbow family, edit the values and import it back in to your modified “short radius” family.
You’ll need to calculate, or get from the manufacturer, the centre-to-end values.
