Construction & Applications
Malleable Iron Construction
Manufactured from malleable iron castings conforming to ASTM A197 for dependable strength and durability in threaded piping installations.
90° Directional Change
The fitting changes the direction of the main piping path by 90 degrees while maintaining threaded connections on the run.
Integrated Side Outlet
An additional threaded outlet provides a third connection point for branching from the elbow without requiring a separate tee and elbow combination.
Why Use a Side Outlet Elbow?
Two Functions in One Fitting
A side outlet elbow combines a 90-degree turn and a branch connection, helping simplify layouts where both functions are needed at the same location.
Compact Piping Layout
The three-way configuration can reduce the number of fittings and threaded joints required in tight mechanical spaces or complex piping assemblies.
Typical Applications
Industrial & Mechanical Piping
- Industrial piping systems
- Commercial plumbing
- Mechanical piping
- General utility piping
- Compact branch layouts
Common Service Applications
- Water piping

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 90-degree side outlet elbow?
A side outlet elbow is a three-way fitting that creates a 90-degree directional change while providing an additional threaded outlet for a branch connection.
How is a side outlet elbow different from a standard 90-degree elbow?
A standard 90-degree elbow has two connections. A side outlet elbow adds a third connection that can be used for branching.
How is a side outlet elbow different from a tee?
A tee typically provides a straight run with a perpendicular branch. A side outlet elbow combines a 90-degree turn with an additional branch outlet.
What type of connections does this fitting use?
The fitting uses female NPT threaded connections.
Can a side outlet elbow reduce the number of fittings required?
Yes. In layouts that need both a 90-degree turn and a nearby branch, a side outlet elbow can replace a separate elbow and tee arrangement.
What material standard applies?
The supplied product information states that the malleable iron castings conform to ASTM A197.
What dimensional standard applies?
Malleable fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.3.
What thread standard applies?
NPT threads conform to ASME B1.20.1.
Is this fitting UL Listed and FM Approved?
The supplied product information states that Class 150 fittings are UL Listed and FM Approved at 300 PSI.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm all three nominal connection sizes, the required outlet orientation, thread type, system service, and application requirements before ordering.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Confirm all three nominal connection sizes before ordering.
- Verify the side outlet orientation matches the intended piping layout.
- The fitting combines a 90° directional change with an additional branch connection.
- All threaded connections should be matched with compatible male NPT pipe or fittings.
- NPT threads conform to ASME B1.20.1.
- Malleable fitting dimensions conform to ASME B16.3.
- Use compatible threaded pipe, fittings, and thread sealant appropriate for the intended system.
- Verify pressure, temperature, media compatibility, applicable codes, and approval requirements before installation.
- Refer to the specification sheet and Certificate of Conformance for additional product information.
