1/8 inch Black Iron 90 Degree Street Elbow Female x Male

1/8 inch Black Malleable Iron 90° Street Elbow – Precision Fit for Gas and Water Line Transitions

The 1/8 inch Black Malleable Iron 90° Street Elbow is designed for directional changes in piping systems where a compact, right-angle turn is required. With one male and one female National Pipe Thread (NPT) connection, this fitting provides a streamlined solution for transitions in limited space, often eliminating the need for an additional nipple fitting.

Product Highlights

• Material: ASTM A197 malleable iron for high mechanical strength and impact resistance
• Finish: Black oxide coating for dry-environment corrosion resistance
• Connection Type: NPT Female x Male threaded ends
• Angle: 90 degrees for right-angle directional change
• Conformance: Threads manufactured to ASME B1.20.1 standards

Performance and Reliability

• Compact Transition: Ideal for use where space constraints prevent full elbow-nipple combinations
• Leak-Resistant Threads: Threaded ends are precision-machined to provide reliable joint sealing with thread sealant or PTFE tape
• Versatile Application: Commonly used in natural gas, air, oil, and low-pressure steam systems
• System Compatibility: Integrates easily with other black iron and steel pipe components

Installation Guidance

For proper installation, apply thread sealant or approved Teflon tape to male threads before tightening. Avoid over-torque to prevent thread cracking or distortion. This fitting is intended for above-ground use in systems where corrosion from moisture is not a concern. Professional installation is recommended for systems under pressure or involving hazardous media.

Use Cases

Often utilized in commercial and residential mechanical systems, the 1/8 inch street elbow is ideal for piping layouts in HVAC lines, fuel gas systems, air compressors, and closed-loop hydronic installations. Its space-saving profile makes it especially valuable in confined areas such as boiler rooms and wall chases.

Did You Know?

Street elbows differ from standard elbows by including one male-threaded end, making them a preferred choice for creating directional changes without requiring a coupling or nipple.

The 1/8 inch Black Malleable Iron Street Elbow offers the toughness and compact versatility required for demanding installations. Rely on this fitting for dependable, code-compliant performance in gas and fluid transfer systems.
