1 inch Galvanized Iron 90 Degree Elbow Female x Female

1" Galvanized Malleable Iron 90° Elbow – Built for Corrosion-Resistant Performance

The 1" Galvanized 90° Elbow is a threaded malleable iron fitting used for changing pipe direction in plumbing and mechanical systems. It offers a secure 90-degree turn, ideal for routing water, air, or non-potable fluids in confined areas. The elbow is hot-dip galvanized for enhanced corrosion resistance, making it suitable for use in both indoor and outdoor installations where exposure to moisture is a concern.

Key Features

• ✅ Material: Malleable cast iron, hot-dip galvanized for corrosion protection
• ✅ Connection: Female National Pipe Thread (NPT) ends for compatibility with standard steel piping
• ✅ Angle: 90° elbow for right-angle changes in flow direction
• ✅ Pressure Rating: Conforms to ANSI/ASME B16.3, suitable for low to medium-pressure systems
• ✅ Finish: Zinc coating for extended life in wet or humid environments

Applications

This elbow is commonly used in:

• • Water distribution systems (non-potable only)
• • Compressed air systems
• • Fire sprinkler systems (where permitted)
• • Agricultural and irrigation infrastructure
• • Light industrial process piping

Installation Notes

Threaded fittings like this elbow require proper sealing with PTFE thread sealant tape or pipe joint compound to ensure leak-free performance. Use of pipe wrenches and attention to torque are important to avoid overtightening or cracking. For systems requiring NSF or lead-free compliance, alternative materials such as brass or stainless steel should be considered.

Did You Know?

Galvanized malleable iron fittings are often selected for outdoor or exposed installations due to their rust-resistant zinc coating. Though no longer recommended for potable water systems, they remain widely used in mechanical and HVAC piping due to their rugged reliability and resistance to corrosion in non-potable applications.

The 1" Galvanized 90° Elbow provides professional-grade durability and directional control for demanding installations. Its robust construction and corrosion resistance make it a dependable choice for plumbing infrastructure built to last.
