1/2 inch Carbon Steel 407 2G 90 Degree Gas Press Street Elbow Fitting x Press

1/2" Carbon Steel 90° Press Street Elbow – Designed for Pressurized Gas System Routing

The 1/2" Carbon Steel 90 Degree Gas Press Street Elbow is engineered for directional transitions in gas distribution systems using press connection technology. This fitting combines a press end and a street (male) end, allowing for compact layouts and direct mating with other press fittings, reducing the need for additional couplings.

Constructed from ASTM-grade carbon steel and coated with corrosion-resistant zinc plating, the elbow is suitable for natural gas, propane, and compressed air systems when installed according to manufacturer guidelines. The press connection system ensures fast installation with consistent joint integrity across high-cycle, high-pressure environments.

Key Performance Features

• ✅ Press x Street Configuration: Simplifies assemblies by allowing direct insertion into another press fitting, eliminating one joint in the system.
• ✅ Carbon Steel Construction: Provides high tensile strength and pressure tolerance in gas piping networks.
• ✅ Zinc-Coated Exterior: Offers resistance to surface oxidation, extending the service life in exposed or enclosed applications.
• ✅ Leak Detection Feature: Incorporates a press ring design that aids in identifying unpressed joints during system testing (per manufacturer specification).

Technical Specifications

• Material: Carbon Steel, zinc-plated
• Nominal Size: 1/2 inch
• Connection Type: Press x Street (male)
• Fitting Angle: 90 degrees
• Standards: Designed to comply with ANSI LC-4, NFPA 54, and ASME B31 codes for fuel gas systems

Installation Guidelines

Installation requires a compatible press tool with approved jaws for carbon steel press systems. Ensure that pipe ends are properly deburred, marked for insertion depth, and aligned before pressing. Use of leak detection solutions during pressure testing is recommended. Follow all applicable local codes and the fitting manufacturer’s published instructions.

Common Use Applications

This elbow is commonly utilized in confined gas piping layouts—such as mechanical rooms, appliance hookups, or retrofit projects—where minimal space and reduced joint count are priorities. It supports directional changes while maintaining compliance with system layout constraints.

Material Insight

Carbon steel fittings are preferred for their strength-to-weight ratio, thermal stability, and pressure-handling capabilities. Press connections provide flame-free installation, making them suitable for use in finished spaces and occupied structures.

The 1/2" Carbon Steel 90° Press Street Elbow is a field-proven solution for contractors installing or modifying gas distribution systems where reliability, speed, and space optimization are key project requirements.
