I have the soldered SS elbow shanks for a vertical tower.
like this:

My tower is 4" though.

Can I bend the elbow so it heads closer to the center of my tower?
or Would it snap or come loose?

Anyone who has any ideas or has done this in the past, please help.
 
SS tubing is very stiff. Maybe cut the elbow shorter so it's lined up with where you want it to aim. But why?
 
I am running 3 bev lines through a copper pipe to stay cold. The sharp 90 of the elbow creates a zig-zag in the hose that I don't want. A 45 elbow would create a nice gradual curve down through the copper and into the freezer.
