If you can, I eliminate all 90 deg bends (not elbows), if you are using any. The bends may cause cavitation. To maintain laminar flow any angle (turn in direction) should be smooth.

What is the saying: one 90 elbow causes the same pressure drop as 3 ft of line?

Carrol Smith's book on plumbing has some good advice!
