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

- Street elbow configuration
- Male pipe thread x female pipe thread
- Provides a compact directional change
- Can connect directly into a compatible female-threaded component
- Helps reduce the need for a separate threaded nipple
- Suitable for compatible exposed plumbing and industrial installations

Construction Details
The fitting features a durable brass body formed in a street elbow configuration with one male threaded end and one female threaded end.
The male end can install directly into a compatible female-threaded fitting, valve, manifold, adapter, or equipment port, while the female end 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, 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 Street Elbow Works
A street elbow changes the direction of a threaded piping connection while also transitioning directly between male and female threaded components.
Because one end is male threaded, the fitting can thread directly into a compatible female connection. The opposite female end then accepts another male-threaded component.
This configuration can reduce the number of separate fittings required in compact piping layouts.
Street Elbow vs. Standard Elbow
Street Elbow
Male Thread x Female Thread
One end can thread directly into a female connection, which can help eliminate the need for a separate nipple.
Standard Elbow
Commonly Female Thread x Female Thread
Requires compatible male-threaded components on 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, and industrial applications.
Chrome Plated Finish
The chrome plated exterior provides a smooth, polished appearance and added surface protection for compatible exposed installations.

Selecting the Correct Chrome Plated 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. |
| Directional Requirement | Confirm the elbow orientation matches the intended piping layout. |
| 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 street elbow orientation matches the intended piping layout.
- 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.
Our plumbing, brass fitting, and industrial product specialists can help review your street elbow size, male and female thread requirements, chrome plated brass material, piping layout, and application before you order.

What is a Chrome Plated Brass Street Elbow?
It is a threaded elbow fitting with one male connection and one female connection used to change direction in a compatible piping system.
What makes a street elbow different from a standard elbow?
A street elbow has one male threaded end and one female threaded end, while a standard threaded elbow commonly uses female threads on both ends.
Why use a street elbow?
The male threaded end can install directly into a compatible female connection, which can reduce the need for a separate threaded nipple.
What material is this fitting made from?
The fitting has a brass body with a chrome plated exterior finish.
Why is the street elbow chrome plated?
Chrome plating provides a smooth, clean appearance and added surface protection for compatible exposed installations.
How do I select the correct size?
Confirm the sizes of both mating threaded connections and make sure the male x female configuration matches the 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 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 configuration uses male and female threaded connections.
- Confirm both connection sizes and thread configuration before ordering.
- Use an appropriate thread-sealing method and avoid overtightening.
- Verify material, pressure, temperature, media, and application compatibility before use.
