For more fun ;-)
Intersect a torus with a box so that only one quarter of the torus is 
visible. This will give you a rounded join like a bent pipe. (My values 

values.)


intersection {
  torus {
   0.750, 0.60
   rotate    <90.0, 0.0, 0.0>
   translate <0.720, 0.0, 0.0>
  }

  box {
   < -0.50,  -0.50,  -0.50 >,  < 0.50,  0.50,  0.50 >
   scale     <1.650, 1.650, 1.650>
   translate <-0.1080, 0.8270, 0.0>
  }

  texture{
   pigment { color rgb <1,0,0> }
   finish { phong 4.9}
  	}
  translate <0.030, 3.9980, 0.0>
}
