2 inch Galvanized Iron 90 Degree Street Elbow Female x Male

2 inch Galvanized Iron 90° Street Elbow – Threaded Elbow for Directional Transitions

The 2 inch Galvanized Iron 90° Street Elbow is a malleable iron fitting used to change direction in threaded piping systems, with a 90-degree bend and a street (male x female) configuration. One end features male NPT threads, while the other has female NPT threads, allowing direct connection to another fitting without the need for an additional nipple.

Hot-dip galvanized to resist corrosion, this elbow is intended for use in non-potable systems such as air, gas, oil, and water distribution lines. It is manufactured to meet ANSI and ASTM standards for malleable iron pressure fittings and is suitable for both new construction and retrofit applications.

Key Product Specifications

• Material: Hot-dip galvanized malleable iron (ASTM A197)
• Nominal Size: 2 inches
• Connection Type: NPT Female x NPT Male
• Design Standard: ASME B16.3
• Thread Standard: ANSI/ASME B1.20.1
• Coating: Zinc galvanizing per ASTM A153 for corrosion resistance

Performance Features

• ✅ Corrosion-Resistant Finish – Hot-dip galvanized coating provides protection in humid or exposed environments.
• ✅ Street Elbow Configuration – Allows for tighter radius bends without requiring additional pipe segments or couplings.
• ✅ Threaded Integrity – Machined NPT threads ensure full mechanical engagement and leak-resistant sealing when properly installed.
• ✅ Versatile Utility – Commonly used in fuel gas systems, compressed air piping, water supply lines (non-potable), and HVAC systems.
• ✅ Code Compliance – Designed to meet dimensional and pressure specifications for galvanized malleable iron fittings.

Installation Notes

Apply PTFE tape or approved thread sealant to male threads. Engage threads fully using appropriate torque, avoiding over-tightening to prevent cracking. Inspect for galvanizing defects, thread damage, or contamination prior to assembly. Do not weld galvanized fittings due to potential release of toxic fumes and damage to the protective coating.

Typical Applications

This 2 inch galvanized street elbow is used to redirect flow in pressure piping systems while minimizing overall fitting length. Ideal for transitions between vertical and horizontal pipe runs, appliance connections, or system terminations in mechanical rooms, basements, and utility corridors.

Usage Limitations

Not approved for potable water distribution unless certified lead-free per NSF/ANSI 372. Verify local code requirements before installation. For corrosive environments or potable systems, specify brass, copper, or lead-free alternatives.
