Description
150# Galvanized Malleable Iron 45° Elbow
150# galvanized malleable iron 45-degree elbows change the direction of threaded piping by 45 degrees while maintaining an equal-size flow path. The two female NPT connections provide a durable angled connection for commercial, industrial, plumbing, maintenance, and repair applications where added corrosion resistance is desired.

How a 45° Elbow Works
Each female NPT end threads onto a compatible male-threaded pipe, pipe nipple, valve, or fitting. The elbow redirects the piping route by 45 degrees, making it useful where a gradual directional change is preferred over a sharper 90-degree turn.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a galvanized malleable iron 45-degree elbow used for?
A threaded 45-degree elbow changes the direction of a piping run by 45 degrees while connecting two equal-size male-threaded components.
Does this elbow have female threads on both ends?
Yes. Both ends have female NPT threads designed for compatible male-threaded pipe, nipples, valves, or fittings.
How is a 45-degree elbow different from a 90-degree elbow?
A 45-degree elbow creates a gentler directional change, while a 90-degree elbow makes a right-angle turn.
What pressure class is this fitting?
This galvanized malleable iron 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.
Can this elbow be used with galvanized steel pipe nipples?
Yes. It is designed for compatible male NPT-threaded galvanized steel pipe, pipe nipples, valves, and approved threaded components.
Does the galvanized finish improve corrosion resistance?
Yes. The galvanized finish provides additional corrosion resistance compared with an unfinished black fitting, although suitability still depends on the environment, piping media, temperature, and application.
Can it be used for water, air, oil, gas, or steam?
It may be used in compatible water, compressed-air, oil, gas, 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 male NPT connections, selected for the piping media, pressure, temperature, applicable codes, and manufacturer recommendations.
Important Ordering Notes
- Select the required nominal pipe size before adding the product to your cart.
- The selected variation determines the Charman item number, price, weight, and cost.
- This is an equal-size 45-degree elbow with two female NPT connections.
- Confirm the nominal size and thread type of both mating components before ordering.
- Use an approved thread sealant suitable for the piping media and operating conditions.
- Do not overtighten the fitting, as excessive force can damage the threads or fitting body.
- Confirm pressure, temperature, media compatibility, corrosion exposure, and application requirements before installation.
- Support connected piping properly to avoid excessive mechanical stress on the elbow.
- Installation should be completed by qualified personnel and comply with applicable codes and standards.
- Manufacturer warranty coverage is subject to the terms, limitations, and exclusions in the linked warranty document.
