Description
150# Black Malleable Iron 90° Street Elbow
150# black malleable iron 90° street elbows create a compact 90-degree change in piping direction using one male NPT connection and one female NPT connection. The street-elbow configuration allows the male end to thread directly into a compatible female fitting, valve, manifold, or equipment connection, often eliminating the need for a separate close nipple.

How a 90° Street Elbow Works
The male NPT end threads directly into a compatible female NPT opening, while the female NPT end accepts a male-threaded pipe, nipple, or fitting of the same nominal size. The fitting changes direction by 90 degrees and can shorten the completed assembly by eliminating a separate close nipple.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a 90° street elbow used for?
A 90° street elbow changes piping direction by 90 degrees while connecting one male-threaded end directly into a female-threaded opening.
Does this fitting have one male and one female connection?
Yes. It has one male NPT connection and one female NPT connection of the same nominal pipe size.
How is a street elbow different from a standard elbow?
A standard elbow normally has female threads on both ends. A street elbow has one male and one female threaded end, which can eliminate the need for a separate close nipple.
Does this fitting change pipe size?
No. This is an equal-size street elbow. The male and female connections are the same nominal pipe size.
What pressure class is this fitting?
This black malleable iron 90° street elbow is manufactured as a 150# or Class 150 threaded fitting.
What sizes are available?
Available product variations range from 1/8" through 6" nominal pipe size. Select the required size from the product options above.
Can it be used with black steel pipe and nipples?
Yes. It is designed for compatible NPT-threaded black steel pipe, pipe nipples, malleable iron fittings, valves, and equipment connections.
Can it be used for gas, water, oil, air, or steam?
It may be used in compatible gas, water, oil, compressed-air, steam, and general-service systems when the application remains within applicable pressure, temperature, media, code, and manufacturer requirements.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use an approved pipe-thread sealant or thread tape on both threaded connections, selected for the piping media, pressure, temperature, applicable codes, and manufacturer recommendations.
