Description
125# Leaded Brass 45° Elbow
125# Leaded Brass 45° Elbows are threaded fittings designed to change the direction of compatible piping by 45 degrees. The shallower angle provides a smoother directional transition than a 90-degree elbow and is useful for offsets, routing changes, and compact piping layouts.
This product is identified as a 125# leaded brass fitting. Manufacturer dimensional, certification, and material safety documentation is provided below for reference.

45° Elbow Construction
A 45° elbow is used to redirect a compatible threaded piping run through a 45-degree turn. This provides a more gradual change in direction than a 90-degree elbow.
The fitting is useful for offsets and routing adjustments where a full right-angle turn is not required.
The threaded configuration allows connection to compatible threaded pipe, nipples, fittings, valves, or equipment.
