Description
Chrome Plated 45° Street Elbow Brass Fitting
Chrome Plated 45° Brass Street Elbow Fittings provide a compact 45-degree directional change while combining one male threaded connection with one female threaded connection. The street-elbow configuration allows the fitting to connect directly between compatible male- and female-threaded components without requiring a separate nipple.
The brass body provides durable construction and corrosion resistance, while the chrome plated finish offers a smooth, clean appearance for compatible exposed plumbing, instrumentation, industrial, construction, maintenance, and general fluid-handling installations.

- Chrome plated brass construction
- 45° street elbow configuration
- Male thread x female thread
- Provides a gradual directional change
- Helps reduce the need for a separate threaded nipple
- Compact threaded fitting design
- Suitable for compatible exposed plumbing and industrial installations

Construction Details
The fitting features a durable brass body formed in a 45-degree street elbow configuration with one male threaded end and one female threaded end.
The male connection can install directly into a compatible female-threaded fitting, valve, adapter, manifold, or equipment port, while the female connection accepts a compatible male-threaded component.
A chrome plated exterior provides a smooth finished appearance and additional surface protection for compatible exposed installations.
Connection Configuration
Male Thread Connection
The male threaded end installs directly into a compatible female-threaded fitting, valve, adapter, manifold, regulator, or equipment connection.
Female Thread Connection
The female threaded end accepts a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, fitting, valve, adapter, or other component.
How a 45° Street Elbow Works
A 45° street elbow combines a gradual directional change with a male-to-female threaded transition.
The male threaded end installs directly into a compatible female connection, while the opposite female end accepts another compatible male-threaded component.
This design can help reduce fitting count in compact piping layouts while providing a less severe directional change than a 90-degree street elbow.
45° Street Elbow vs. 90° Street Elbow
45° Street Elbow
Provides a gradual change in direction while maintaining the male-thread x female-thread street elbow configuration.
90° Street Elbow
Provides a full right-angle directional change while also connecting directly between compatible male- and female-threaded components.
Street Elbow vs. Standard Elbow
Street Elbow
Male Thread x Female Thread
The male end can install directly into a compatible female connection, which can help eliminate a separate threaded nipple.
Standard Elbow
Commonly Female Thread x Female Thread
A standard female elbow requires compatible male-threaded components at both connections and may require an additional nipple depending on the piping layout.
Chrome Plated Brass Construction
Brass Body
Brass provides durable metal construction and corrosion resistance for compatible plumbing, instrumentation, pneumatic, construction, and industrial applications.
Chrome Plated Finish
The chrome plated exterior provides a smooth, polished appearance and added surface protection for compatible exposed installations.
Common Applications

Selecting the Correct Chrome Plated 45° Street Elbow
| Selection Point | What to Confirm |
|---|---|
| Connection Size | Confirm the required size of both threaded connections. |
| Thread Configuration | Verify the application requires a male-thread x female-thread street elbow. |
| Angle Requirement | Confirm the piping layout requires a 45° directional change. |
| Material & Finish | Confirm chrome plated brass is suitable for the media and installation environment. |
| Operating Conditions | Verify pressure, temperature, media, and application requirements before installation. |
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the fitting size and male x female thread configuration before ordering.
- Verify the piping layout requires a 45° street elbow.
- Inspect mating threads for damage or contamination before installation.
- Use a thread-sealing method suitable for brass fittings and the intended media.
- Avoid overtightening and verify pressure, temperature, media, and application compatibility.

What is a Chrome Plated 45° Street Elbow?
It is a brass elbow fitting with one male threaded connection and one female threaded connection that changes piping direction by 45 degrees.
What makes this a street elbow?
A street elbow combines one male threaded end with one female threaded end, allowing it to connect directly into a compatible female-threaded component.
Why use a 45° street elbow?
It provides a gradual directional change while also reducing the need for a separate nipple between compatible threaded components.
What material is this fitting made from?
The fitting has a brass body with a chrome plated exterior finish.
What is the difference between a 45° and 90° street elbow?
A 45° street elbow provides a more gradual directional change, while a 90° street elbow creates a full right-angle turn.
How do I select the correct size?
Confirm the required male and female thread sizes and make sure the 45° configuration matches the intended piping layout.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use a thread-sealing method appropriate for brass threaded fittings, the transferred media, and the requirements of the piping system.
Can the fitting be overtightened?
Yes. Excessive tightening can damage the brass fitting or mating threads, so appropriate installation practices should be followed.
Important Ordering & Installation Notes
- Construction is brass with a chrome plated finish.
- Street elbow angle is 45°.
- Confirm both connection sizes and the male x female thread configuration before ordering.
- Use an appropriate thread-sealing method and avoid overtightening.
- Verify material, pressure, temperature, media, and application compatibility before use.
