Description
Lead-Free Brass Street Elbow FIP x MIP 90° (Forged)
Lead-Free Brass Forged Street Elbows provide a 90-degree threaded transition between a female pipe-thread connection and a male pipe-thread connection. The street-elbow design allows the fitting to connect directly between compatible threaded components while changing piping direction in one compact fitting.
Forged lead-free brass construction provides durable performance and corrosion resistance for compatible potable-water, plumbing, agricultural, construction, industrial, water-transfer, and general fluid-handling applications where lead-free components are required.

Construction Details
The fitting features a durable forged lead-free brass body formed in a 90-degree street-elbow configuration.
One end provides an internal female pipe-thread connection while the opposite end provides an external male pipe-thread connection.
The forged street-elbow design combines the female and male threaded connections in one compact fitting, allowing a 90° directional change without requiring an additional nipple between two female-threaded components.
Connection Configuration
Female Pipe Thread - FIP
The female pipe-thread connection accepts a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, valve, adapter, or other piping component.
Male Pipe Thread - MIP
The male pipe-thread connection installs directly into a compatible female-threaded fitting, valve, coupling, manifold, or equipment connection.
How a 90° Street Elbow Works
A FIP x MIP street elbow connects compatible threaded piping components while redirecting the piping system by 90 degrees.
The male MIP end threads into a compatible female-threaded connection, while the female FIP end receives a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, valve, adapter, or fitting.
An appropriate thread-sealing method should be applied to applicable male pipe threads according to the fitting material, transferred media, and requirements of the piping system.

Forged Street Elbow Design
Female-to-Male Configuration
The street elbow combines a female threaded connection with a male threaded connection, allowing it to connect directly between compatible threaded components.
90° Direction Change
The elbow body redirects the piping system by 90 degrees while maintaining threaded connections on both ends.
Street Elbow vs. Standard Elbow
Street Elbow
FIP x MIP
A street elbow has one female threaded connection and one male threaded connection, allowing the fitting to install directly into a female-threaded port.
Standard Elbow
FIP x FIP
A standard threaded elbow commonly has female pipe-thread connections on both ends and typically requires male-threaded components at both connections.

Forged Lead-Free Brass Benefits
Forged lead-free brass provides durable metal construction for compatible plumbing and fluid-handling systems where lead-free fitting materials are required.
The street-elbow configuration combines a 90-degree directional change with male and female threaded connections in one compact fitting, helping simplify installation in confined or equipment-connected piping layouts.
Installation & Selection Considerations
- Confirm the required FIP and MIP connection sizes before ordering.
- Verify the required 90° orientation and street-elbow configuration.
- Use a thread-sealing method suitable for brass fittings and the intended media.
- Avoid excessive tightening that could damage the fitting or mating threads.
- Verify pressure, temperature, media, and lead-free application requirements before installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Lead-Free Brass Forged Street Elbow?
It is a forged brass 90-degree fitting with a female pipe-thread connection on one end and a male pipe-thread connection on the other.
What does FIP x MIP mean?
FIP refers to the female pipe-thread connection, while MIP refers to the male pipe-thread connection.
What does forged mean?
Forged refers to the manufacturing construction of the brass fitting body. This product is specifically identified as a forged street elbow.
What angle does this street elbow provide?
The fitting changes the piping direction by 90 degrees.
What connects to the FIP side?
The female pipe-thread connection accepts a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, valve, adapter, or other component.
What connects to the MIP side?
The male pipe-thread connection installs into a compatible female-threaded fitting, coupling, valve, manifold, or equipment port.
What is the difference between a street elbow and a standard elbow?
A street elbow has one female threaded end and one male threaded end, while a standard threaded elbow commonly uses female threaded connections on both ends.
Should thread sealant be used?
Use a thread-sealing method appropriate for brass pipe-thread connections, the transferred media, and the requirements of the piping system.
