3/4 inch Galvanized Iron 45 Degree Elbow Female x Female

3/4 inch Galvanized Iron 45° Elbow – Threaded Malleable Iron Fitting

The 3/4 inch Galvanized Iron 45 Degree Elbow is a malleable iron pipe fitting designed for directional changes in pressure piping systems. It provides a 45° offset between two female-threaded pipe connections, ensuring a secure path while minimizing flow disruption in water, air, and low-pressure steam lines.

This elbow is hot-dip galvanized after casting, offering corrosion resistance for both interior and exterior exposure. It meets applicable ANSI/ASME B16.3 and ASTM A197 specifications, making it a dependable component for code-compliant installations in residential, commercial, or light industrial settings.

Performance and Construction Benefits

• ✅ Hot-Dip Galvanized Finish – Zinc coating protects against oxidation and galvanic wear, extending product life in corrosive environments.
• ✅ Threaded Female x Female Ends – Compatible with NPT pipe threads for straightforward integration into existing pipe networks.
• ✅ Smooth Cast Interior – Enhances flow characteristics, reducing turbulence at directional changes.
• ✅ Pressure Rated – Suitable for up to 150 psi for water or 300 psi for non-shock air applications depending on pipe schedule.
• ✅ Code-Approved – Complies with national plumbing and mechanical codes when properly installed.

Technical Specifications

• Material: Malleable galvanized iron (ASTM A197)
• Finish: Hot-dip zinc-coated per ASTM A153
• Size: 3/4 inch nominal pipe size
• Connection: NPT (female) x NPT (female)
• Angle: 45 degrees
• Compliance: ASME B16.3 / UL/FM where applicable

Applications

Commonly installed in pressurized plumbing, heating, and gas systems to navigate pipe direction around structural obstacles or to reduce pipe stress from sharp angular transitions. Ideal for use in supply branches, horizontal offsets, or vent line redirection.

Field Note

Galvanized iron elbows are especially effective in non-potable applications where corrosion resistance is needed but stainless steel is not economically justified. For potable water systems, verify regional code compliance and thread sealant compatibility before installation.

The 3/4 inch Galvanized Iron 45° Elbow is engineered to provide durable service in a wide range of mechanical and plumbing applications. Proper installation with approved thread sealants will ensure long-term integrity and leak-free performance.
