Description
304 Stainless Steel 150# 90° Street Elbow - SP112
Charman Inc 304 Stainless Steel 150# 90° Street Elbows - SP112 provide a compact way to make a 90-degree directional change while transitioning directly between female and male NPT connections. Available in nominal pipe sizes from 1/8" through 4", these 304 stainless steel street elbows are suited for industrial, commercial, mechanical, utility, and process-piping applications.
Unlike a standard threaded elbow with female connections at both ends, the SP112 street elbow combines one female NPT connection with one male NPT connection. The male end can thread directly into a compatible female fitting, valve, manifold, or equipment connection, helping eliminate the need for an additional pipe nipple in many installations.

What Is an SP112 90° Street Elbow?
The Charman Inc SP112 90° street elbow is a threaded stainless steel fitting with a female NPT connection on one end and a male NPT connection on the other. It changes piping direction by 90 degrees while allowing the male end of the elbow to connect directly into a compatible female-threaded component.
This male-by-female configuration distinguishes a street elbow from a standard threaded elbow and can create a more compact assembly by eliminating a separate close nipple between the elbow and a female-threaded fitting, valve, manifold, or equipment connection.
Why Choose a 304 Stainless Steel SP112 Street Elbow?
304 Stainless Steel Construction
- Provides good general corrosion resistance
- Suitable for many industrial and commercial environments
- Durable construction for threaded piping systems
- Useful where stainless steel piping components are specified
- Well suited for process, utility, mechanical, and equipment applications
Male x Female Configuration
- Female NPT connection on one end
- Male NPT connection on the other end
- Creates a 90-degree directional change
- Can connect directly into compatible female-threaded components
- Can reduce the number of fittings needed in compact assemblies
Common Applications
Industrial & Process Piping
- Process piping systems
- Industrial utility piping
- Equipment connections
- Instrumentation assemblies
- Threaded stainless steel piping
Mechanical & Equipment Connections
- Valve connections
- Manifold assemblies
- Commercial mechanical piping
- Compact equipment connections
- Maintenance and repair installations
Street Elbow vs. Standard 90° Elbow
A standard threaded 90° elbow typically has female NPT connections at both ends. A street elbow has one female NPT connection and one male NPT connection.
The male end of the SP112 street elbow can thread directly into a compatible female NPT fitting, valve, manifold, or equipment port. This can shorten the assembled connection and eliminate the separate nipple that may otherwise be required between two female-threaded components.
Where an SP112 Street Elbow Makes Sense
- Making a compact 90-degree change in piping direction
- Connecting directly into female-threaded valves or equipment
- Reducing the need for additional pipe nipples
- Building compact manifold and instrumentation assemblies
- Routing piping where installation space is limited
- Industrial process and utility connections
- Maintenance, repair, and retrofit installations

Installation & Selection Guidance
- Confirm the required nominal pipe size before ordering.
- Verify that the female end will mate with a compatible male NPT connection.
- Verify that the male end will mate with a compatible female NPT connection.
- Confirm that a 90-degree directional change is appropriate for the piping layout.
- Confirm that 304 stainless steel is compatible with the intended service.
- Inspect male and female threads for damage or contamination before assembly.
- Use a thread-sealing method appropriate for the system media, pressure, temperature, and application.
- Begin threaded assembly carefully to reduce the risk of cross-threading.
- Tighten using appropriate tools and accepted threaded-piping practices.
- Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the fitting or mating components.
- Orient the elbow appropriately for the required piping direction during assembly.
- Support connected piping to avoid excessive mechanical loading on the fitting.
- Confirm pressure and temperature requirements for the complete piping system.
- Installation should be completed by qualified personnel and in accordance with applicable codes and specifications.
Product Selection Considerations
Connection Configuration
Select a street elbow when the installation requires a female NPT connection on one side and a male NPT connection on the other. For female NPT connections at both ends, select a standard threaded 90° elbow instead.
Nominal Pipe Size
Select the SP112 street elbow that matches the nominal pipe size of the mating threaded components. The male and female connections on each elbow are the same nominal pipe size.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Charman Inc SP112 90° street elbow?
It is a 304 stainless steel 150# threaded fitting with one female NPT connection and one male NPT connection that creates a 90-degree directional change.
What connections does the SP112 street elbow have?
The fitting has a female NPT connection on one end and a male NPT connection on the other.
What material are these street elbows made from?
The SP112 street elbows in this listing are manufactured from 304 stainless steel.
What sizes are available?
This listing includes 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4", 1", 1-1/4", 1-1/2", 2", 2-1/2", 3", and 4" nominal pipe sizes.
Are the male and female connections the same nominal size?
Yes. Each SP112 street elbow in this listing has equal-size male and female NPT connections.
What is the difference between a street elbow and a standard threaded elbow?
A street elbow has one male and one female threaded connection. A standard threaded elbow typically has female threaded connections at both ends.
Why use a street elbow instead of an elbow and nipple?
The male end of a street elbow can connect directly into a compatible female-threaded component, which can eliminate a separate nipple and create a more compact assembly.
Does the SP112 street elbow require welding?
No. It connects through its male and female NPT threads and does not require welding for normal threaded installation.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use a thread-sealing method appropriate for the system media, pressure, temperature, fitting materials, and applicable installation requirements.
