1-1/2 inch Black Iron 45 Degree Street Elbow Female x Male

1-1/2” Black Iron 45° Street Elbow – For Pressure-Grade Directional Changes

The 1-1/2” Black Iron 45 Degree Street Elbow is engineered to provide smooth directional transitions in gas and liquid piping systems. Featuring a street-style connection with one female and one male threaded end, this elbow is ideal for configurations requiring compact, angled offsets without the need for an additional nipple or coupling.

Manufactured to conform with ANSI/ASME B16.3 and ASTM A-197 standards, this malleable iron fitting is designed for use in non-corrosive environments, including natural gas distribution, air, steam, and oil lines. The black finish provides scale resistance for indoor applications where galvanized coatings are unnecessary.

Key Advantages

• ✅ Threaded End Configuration – Female NPT x Male NPT, offering quick alignment in tight spaces without additional components.
• ✅ Malleable Iron Construction – High tensile strength and impact resistance for heavy-duty service in industrial or commercial systems.
• ✅ Precision Casting – Threads comply with ANSI B1.20.1, ensuring accurate mating with compatible piping.
• ✅ Pressure Rated – Suitable for up to 150 psi steam and 300 psi water/gas/oil applications at ambient temperature.
• ✅ Long-Term Reliability – Resists deformation under load, maintaining joint integrity over time.

Technical Specifications

• Size: 1-1/2 inch nominal pipe size
• Material: ASTM A-197 malleable iron
• Finish: Black (oil-coated for corrosion resistance)
• Connection: FNPT x MNPT
• Standards: ASME B16.3, UL/FM/CSA certified where applicable

Recommended Use

Commonly deployed in gas distribution systems, hydronic heating lines, and pressurized air circuits. Particularly beneficial where changes in direction must be achieved with minimal space, or where thread engagement depth is critical.

Installation Notes

Thread sealant or PTFE tape is essential for creating a leak-free joint. Torque specifications should be followed based on pipe size and material to prevent thread deformation. Always check compatibility with surrounding system materials to avoid galvanic corrosion.

Spec the 1-1/2” Black Iron 45° Street Elbow when your project demands performance-rated fittings with reliable thread engagement, structural durability, and compliance with code. Built for the field, ready for the pressure.
