Construction & Applications
Malleable Iron Construction
Manufactured from malleable iron castings conforming to ASTM A197 for dependable strength and durability in threaded piping installations.
Street Pattern
The male x female configuration allows one end of the elbow to thread directly into another female-threaded fitting, reducing the need for additional nipples or adapters.
45° Direction Change
The elbow changes piping direction by 45 degrees, making it useful for compact layouts and installations requiring a less abrupt change than a 90° elbow.
Why Use a Street Elbow?
More Compact Connections
A standard elbow typically has female threads on both ends. A street elbow adds a male-threaded end that can connect directly into another fitting, helping shorten the overall piping assembly.
Fewer Components
Because the male end can thread directly into a compatible female connection, a separate nipple may not be required between fittings.
Typical Applications
Industrial & Mechanical Piping
- Industrial piping systems
- Mechanical piping
- Commercial installations
- Compact threaded assemblies
Common Services
- Water piping
- Gas piping
- Oil piping
- Fire protection systems
