The reason for this is that most 90* NPT elbows are drilled from both sides and have a large step in the corner than restricts flow. See photo below which explains it better than I ever could:
There are high flow fittings that don't restrict flow like the standard ones do.

I don't now if the fitting I bought is like that. It's a fragola one. Unsure if it would be the same way inside.

This is what I have: https://goo.gl/images/zB8NXl

Aeroflow makes full flow fittings in various configurations. I guess others would too but I like them.

Nice. Do they make an AN to NPT 90* like that too? I've never seen one, but it would be good if they do.
What I was referring in my earlier post was the typical 90* NPT elbow. Every one I've ever seen has a step left in the corner from when the elbow is drilled from each end.

I'm not sure if they make that. You can look on the site. They list everything. My shop is a dealer and stocks most of there stuff, so it's convenient for me to use and prices are good, because of the Australian dollar.
You can see from the pic that the bend is much thicker than the standard ones and that's why they flow more.
