2 inch x 1 inch Black Iron 90 Degree Reducing Elbow Female x Female

2” x 1” Black Iron 90° Reducing Elbow – Threaded FIP x FIP

The 2” x 1” Black Iron 90 Degree Reducing Elbow is a threaded malleable iron fitting used to change direction and reduce pipe size within gas, oil, steam, or air distribution systems. Manufactured to standard dimensions, it provides a smooth directional transition in piping layouts while maintaining system integrity.

Constructed from black malleable iron conforming to ASTM A197, this fitting features female National Pipe Thread (NPT) connections on both ends. It is designed for use in non-corrosive environments and is commonly specified for fuel gas systems, hydronic loops, and low-pressure air handling infrastructure.

Performance Characteristics

• ✅ 90° Reducing Bend: Facilitates size reduction and directional change in a single component, optimizing space in tight configurations.
• ✅ Threaded FIP x FIP: Machined to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 standards for consistent sealing and torque compatibility.
• ✅ Cast for Durability: High-strength malleable iron construction with uniform wall thickness supports long-term mechanical load and system pressure.

System Benefits

• ✅ Reduces component count by combining direction and size transition in one fitting.
• ✅ Enhances layout flexibility in gas distribution or mechanical piping systems.
• ✅ Supports high-temperature and moderate-pressure applications with proper sealants.

Installation Notes

Apply pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Use standard pipe wrenches, taking care to avoid over-tightening. This fitting is intended for use with Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 pipe in rigid piping systems where welding is not used. Follow local mechanical or fuel gas codes for all installations.

Technical Specifications

• Nominal Size: 2” x 1”
• Connection Type: Female Threaded x Female Threaded (NPT)
• Material: Black Malleable Iron
• Compliance: Conforms to ASTM A197, ASME B16.3, and ASME B1.20.1

Common Applications

This 90° reducing elbow is widely used in commercial, industrial, and residential gas and fluid distribution networks. It allows compact directional changes near structural obstructions or within mechanical rooms, boiler systems, and equipment tie-ins.

Material Insight

Black iron fittings are favored in gas distribution and utility piping due to their strength, temperature resistance, and compatibility with threaded steel piping. Their uncoated finish is suitable for dry or interior use where corrosion resistance is not critical.

The 2” x 1” Black Iron 90 Degree Reducing Elbow offers reliable performance in threaded systems requiring both a directional and dimensional change in a single, compact fitting.
