3/4 inch Galvanized Iron 90 Degree Street Elbow Female x Male

3/4 inch Galvanized Iron 90° Street Elbow – Threaded MPT x FPT, Schedule 40

The 3/4 inch galvanized iron 90-degree street elbow is a threaded pipe fitting designed for directional changes in rigid piping systems. Featuring one male NPT and one female NPT connection, this elbow is ideal for joining pipes at a right angle where a standard elbow would require an additional nipple. Its street design simplifies connections in tight configurations while minimizing overall fitting count.

Manufactured from cast malleable iron and hot-dip galvanized for added corrosion resistance, this fitting conforms to ANSI and ASTM dimensional and pressure requirements for threaded fittings used in water, air, and gas systems.

Product Features

• ✅ Connection Type: Male NPT x Female NPT for direct joining to female-threaded and male-threaded components respectively.
• ✅ Galvanized Coating: Zinc finish enhances resistance to oxidation in indoor and outdoor environments.
• ✅ Pressure-Rated: Suitable for use in systems operating under moderate pressure, including hydronic and gas lines.
• ✅ Compact Design: Eliminates the need for additional short nipples in directional transitions, saving space and material cost.
• ✅ Code-Conforming: Complies with ASME B16.3 and ASTM A197 standards for malleable iron pipe fittings.

Installation Recommendations

Install using standard pipe wrenches and approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to ensure a leak-tight seal. Do not overtighten—follow torque guidelines based on pipe size and material. This elbow is compatible with Schedule 40 galvanized or black steel pipe systems. Confirm material compatibility and use only in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes.

Applications

This 90° street elbow is commonly installed in compressed air systems, water distribution lines, steam piping, and gas supply systems. It is particularly useful in mechanical rooms, wall penetrations, and confined routing where standard elbows and couplings are impractical.

Material Notes

Galvanized iron fittings are selected for their durability and cost-efficiency in corrosive and non-potable systems. While suitable for many indoor and outdoor applications, they are not recommended for potable water systems in regions where zinc coatings may violate code requirements.
