Description
125# Lead Free Brass Street 45° Elbow
125# Lead Free Brass Street 45° Elbows are threaded fittings designed to provide a 45-degree change in direction while connecting a female-threaded component directly to a male-threaded component. The street elbow configuration combines male and female threaded ends, helping create a compact offset without requiring a separate pipe nipple in many installations.
These fittings conform with the lead-content requirements for lead-free plumbing as defined by the U.S. Safe Drinking Water Act and are certified to contain ≤0.25 weighted average % lead. Manufacturer dimensional, certification, and material safety documentation is provided below.

Street 45° Elbow Construction
A street 45° elbow provides a gradual directional change while incorporating male threads on one end and female threads on the other.
The male end can thread directly into a compatible female-threaded valve, fitting, or equipment connection, while the female end accepts a compatible male-threaded pipe or fitting. This can help create a shorter, cleaner assembly than using a standard elbow with an additional nipple.
Lead free brass construction makes this fitting suitable for applications requiring compliance with applicable lead-content requirements for plumbing products.
