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

1/8 inch Galvanized Iron 90° Street Elbow – Compact, Corrosion-Resistant Directional Fitting

The 1/8 inch Galvanized Iron 90° Street Elbow is a compact, threaded fitting engineered for directional changes in pipe runs where space constraints demand a tight turning radius. With its female-to-male configuration, this elbow eliminates the need for an additional coupling, simplifying assembly and reducing material use in confined applications.

Benefits of a Galvanized Street Elbow

• High-Performance Coating: Zinc-galvanized finish offers reliable corrosion protection in environments subject to moisture or atmospheric exposure.
• Threaded Connections: Complies with ANSI B1.20.1 NPT specifications, ensuring consistent thread engagement and tight sealing performance.
• Space-Saving Geometry: Street elbow design provides a 90-degree change in direction while minimizing required pipe length and installation footprint.
• Code-Ready Manufacturing: Cast to ASME B16.3 dimensional standards, ideal for systems requiring mechanical integrity and code compliance.
• Versatile Functionality: Suitable for water, air, or steam lines in both residential and commercial systems where compact directional routing is required.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Hot-dipped galvanized malleable iron
• Nominal Size: 1/8 inch
• Connection Type: FIP x MIP (Female Iron Pipe x Male Iron Pipe)
• Standards: Meets ASME B16.3 and ASTM A197 for malleable iron castings

Installation Recommendations

Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads during assembly. Do not overtighten—use calibrated torque where possible to preserve thread form. Always inspect for burrs or debris before installation to ensure a clean, secure joint. For gas applications, follow local mechanical code requirements regarding approved sealants and pressure testing procedures.

Common Applications

This 90° street elbow is frequently used in small-diameter piping systems for:

• Branch offsets in water supply and drain lines
• Air and low-pressure steam distribution
• Retrofitting tight corner transitions without auxiliary fittings

Did You Know?

Street elbows are differentiated by their male/female configuration, making them ideal for inline transitions without requiring an additional coupling, particularly valuable in systems where compact layout is essential.

For directional changes in tight plumbing configurations, the 1/8 inch Galvanized Iron 90° Street Elbow offers durability, compatibility, and compliance. It’s a staple fitting for applications requiring corrosion resistance and mechanical reliability.
