1/2 inch Galvanized Iron 90 Degree Street Elbow Female x Male

1/2 inch Galvanized Malleable Iron 90° Street Elbow – MIP x FIP Threaded

The 1/2 inch galvanized malleable iron 90° street elbow is designed to provide a directional change in threaded piping systems while allowing a compact, space-efficient connection. With one male and one female NPT end, this fitting enables direct coupling to other threaded components without the need for additional nipples or couplings.

Manufactured from ASTM A197 malleable iron and hot-dip galvanized per ASTM A153, this fitting meets ASME B16.3 dimensional standards and is rated for Class 150 service. It is intended for use in non-potable water, low-pressure steam, compressed air, and gas systems where corrosion protection is required.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Galvanized Malleable Iron (ASTM A197)
• Finish: Hot-dip galvanized coating (ASTM A153)
• Size: 1/2 inch nominal pipe size
• Connection Type: Female NPT x Male NPT (FIP x MIP)
• Pressure Rating: Class 150 (non-shock, WOG)
• Compliance: ASME B16.3, ANSI B1.20.1 (thread standard)

Typical Applications

• • Water distribution (non-potable)
• • Natural gas and LP gas piping
• • Low-pressure steam or air systems
• • Structural and mechanical piping installations

Installation Guidelines

Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on male threads before tightening. Use standard pipe wrenches to make up the joint, avoiding over-torquing to preserve thread integrity. Install in accordance with relevant mechanical or plumbing codes.

Material Note

Galvanized malleable iron fittings are selected for their corrosion resistance and mechanical strength in both indoor and outdoor environments. They are not recommended for use in systems carrying potable water unless local code permits.
