Construction & Applications
Malleable Iron Construction
Manufactured from malleable iron castings conforming to ASTM A197 for dependable strength and durability in threaded piping systems.
45° Directional Change
The elbow changes piping direction by 45 degrees, making it useful where a more gradual turn is preferred over a 90-degree change.
Hot-Dip Galvanized Finish
The galvanized coating conforms to ASTM A153 and provides additional protection against rust and corrosion in moisture-prone and outdoor installations.
Why Use a 45 Degree Elbow?
Gradual Piping Offset
A 45-degree elbow is useful for creating offsets and less abrupt directional changes in threaded piping layouts.
Flexible Layout Options
45-degree elbows can be used individually or combined with additional fittings to route pipe around equipment, structural components, and other obstructions.
Typical Applications
Commercial & Mechanical Piping
- Commercial plumbing systems
- Mechanical piping
- Water distribution
- General utility piping
- Threaded pipe offsets
Galvanized Applications
- Outdoor piping
- Moist environments
- Water-service applications
- Industrial installations
- General galvanized piping systems
