Street Elbow Construction
A 45° street elbow redirects a piping run through a 45-degree turn while incorporating different thread genders on each end.
The male-threaded end can connect directly into a compatible female-threaded fitting, valve, or equipment port, while the female-threaded end accepts a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, or fitting.
The chrome-plated exterior provides a finished appearance for compatible exposed plumbing and mechanical applications.
