1 inch Galvanized Iron 90 Degree Street Elbow Female x Male

1 inch Galvanized Iron 90° Street Elbow – Malleable Iron Fitting for Threaded Line Offsets

The 1 inch Galvanized Iron 90° Street Elbow is a threaded malleable iron fitting used to make directional changes in pipe systems where a male-to-female connection is required. With a street design—male NPT on one end and female NPT on the other—it enables connection to another fitting without the need for a close nipple, minimizing space and material usage in the layout.

Hot-dip galvanized to ASTM A153 specifications and cast to conform with ASME B16.3 standards, this fitting is designed for indoor and non-corrosive outdoor applications. Commonly installed in low- to medium-pressure piping systems, it provides mechanical strength and corrosion protection in potable water, air, and low-pressure gas systems.

Performance Characteristics

• ✅ Galvanized Finish Zinc coating provides corrosion resistance in environments with intermittent moisture exposure.
• ✅ Street Elbow Profile Reduces component count in tight installations by eliminating the need for additional nipples.
• ✅ Cast Malleable Iron Body Offers structural strength suitable for piping systems up to 150 PSI nominal pressure.
• ✅ Precision Tapered Threads Complies with ASME B1.20.1 for NPT connections, enabling tight, leak-resistant joints with appropriate sealant.
• ✅ Thread Compatibility Accepts schedule 40 and 80 steel pipe and galvanized threaded fittings of matching size.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Malleable Iron, Zinc-Coated (Hot-Dip Galvanized)
• Nominal Size: 1 inch
• Ends: Female NPT x Male NPT
• Angle: 90 Degrees
• Compliance: ASTM A197, ASTM A153, ASME B16.3 and B1.20.1

Installation Requirements

Apply PTFE tape or approved pipe joint compound to male threads prior to installation. Thread fitting into mating component hand-tight and finish with a pipe wrench to manufacturer-recommended torque. Avoid over-tightening to prevent thread deformation. Use in above-ground piping systems where galvanic compatibility is ensured.

Application Environments

Used in water distribution, compressed air, and gas piping systems where a directional shift and close offset are required. Often installed in mechanical rooms, service risers, and structural pipe supports. Suitable for both residential and commercial service where galvanized malleable fittings are specified by code.

Engineering Note

Street elbows reduce system bulk and joint count. Galvanized fittings are suitable for systems not exposed to aggressive chemicals or continuous submersion. For corrosive applications or underground use, consult material specifications or select an alternative fitting finish.

The 1 inch Galvanized Iron 90° Street Elbow provides dimensional precision, system compatibility, and corrosion resistance required for long-lasting mechanical and plumbing performance. It is an essential component in threaded galvanized systems where directional changes and tight spaces must be addressed efficiently.
