1 inch x 3/4 inch Galvanized Iron 90 Degree Reducing Elbow Female x Female

1" x 3/4" Galvanized Iron 90° Reducing Elbow – Threaded FIP x FIP

The 1" x 3/4" Galvanized Iron 90° Reducing Elbow is designed for directional changes in piping systems where a reduction in line size is required. Constructed from galvanized malleable iron, this fitting features a 90-degree turn with female iron pipe threads (FIP) on both ends for secure and standardized connections across a wide range of water and air applications.

Manufactured to meet applicable ASTM and ANSI standards, this elbow is corrosion-resistant and pressure-rated for standard plumbing systems. The hot-dip galvanized finish provides a protective zinc coating that enhances durability in both interior and exterior environments. Its high mechanical strength and precise threading allow for effective sealing and long-term service life.

Key Specifications

• Material: Galvanized Malleable Iron
• End Connections: Female NPT x Female NPT
• Nominal Sizes: Inlet – 1 inch; Outlet – 3/4 inch
• Configuration: 90° Elbow, Reducing

Product Advantages

• Precision-Cut Threads: Tapered for a leak-tight seal using standard thread sealants or PTFE tape
• Dimensional Accuracy: Machined within tolerance for proper fit with adjacent fittings or pipe
• High Structural Integrity: Resists deformation and splitting under normal load-bearing conditions
• Corrosion Resistance: Zinc coating defends against rust and surface degradation in damp or exposed environments
• Versatility: Suitable for use in hydronic heating, compressed air lines, irrigation, drainage, and water distribution networks

Installation Guidance

This elbow is compatible with standard threaded steel, brass, or galvanized pipe. Thread sealant should be applied to all male threads prior to assembly. Torque should be applied evenly with an appropriate pipe wrench to avoid overtightening, which may cause damage to threads. All installations should comply with local plumbing and mechanical codes.

Typical Applications

Used primarily in water distribution, compressed air systems, fire protection, and industrial fluid handling, the 90° galvanized reducing elbow is ideal for branch takeoffs and tight-direction changes in limited-space layouts. Commonly specified in commercial, industrial, and residential systems where long-term performance and corrosion resistance are required.

Technical Note

Malleable iron fittings are preferred in threaded applications due to their shock resistance and ductility. The galvanizing process provides added protection but should not be used for systems conveying acids or highly corrosive substances unless compatibility has been verified.

For reliable system performance and compliance with mechanical standards, the 1" x 3/4" Galvanized Iron 90° Reducing Elbow offers a dependable solution for transitioning flow paths and reducing line sizes in pressure-rated piping installations.
