What is the difference between angled and regular Press-Tight® Connectors?

The only difference between these connectors is their shape. A Press-Tight® Connector is a straight tube; an angled Press-Tight® Connector has a slight bend in the middle (approximately 20 degrees), which reduces the need to bend the fused silica tubing when making a connection. This is of particular use in making a connection in a broken column, when you must make the connection within the coils. In most situations, the choice of Press-Tight® Connector conformation is a personal preference.
