2 inch Galvanized iron 45 Degree Iron Elbow Female x Female

2 inch Galvanized Iron 45-Degree Elbow – Built for Directional Pipe Transitions

The 2 inch Galvanized Iron 45-Degree Elbow is engineered for directional changes in piping layouts where corrosion resistance and mechanical strength are essential. Designed for use in systems transporting water, air, oil, or gas, this malleable iron fitting delivers solid performance under pressure.

Performance Features

• Material: Galvanized malleable iron offers reliable corrosion resistance, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
• Angle: 45-degree elbow provides a smoother directional transition than a 90-degree elbow, reducing flow resistance and minimizing wear from turbulence.
• Connection Type: Threaded female ends comply with ANSI B1.20.1 for secure and leak-resistant installation.
• Compliance: Manufactured to conform with ASTM A197 and A153 standards for material quality and galvanizing process.

Recommended Applications

Commonly installed in commercial, industrial, and residential plumbing systems, this elbow is well-suited for black or galvanized pipe runs in compressed air, low-pressure steam, drainage, and general utility piping systems. Its strength and chemical resistance make it an excellent choice for mechanical rooms, plant maintenance, and structural pipe assemblies.

Installation Guidelines

Use thread sealant (e.g., PTFE tape or pipe dope) during assembly to ensure a watertight seal. Torque threads to manufacturer-recommended values to avoid overstressing the pipe wall or distorting the fitting. Always verify system pressure and temperature limitations to maintain safe operation.

Technical Summary

• Nominal Size: 2 inches
• Wall Type: Standard Schedule 40 compatibility
• Galvanization: Hot-dip zinc coating for added protection against rust and degradation
• Working Pressure: Dependent on pipe system; verify against system specifications

Note:

Galvanized fittings are not recommended for use in potable water systems in some jurisdictions due to potential leaching. Always confirm local plumbing code compliance prior to use in drinking water applications.
