A street elbow is a threaded elbow with a male connection on one end and a female connection on the other. This differs from a conventional threaded elbow, which typically has female threads on both ends.

• Male connection threads directly into a compatible female port
• Female connection accepts a compatible male-threaded pipe or fitting
• Provides a compact connection
• Can eliminate a separate nipple in some piping layouts

• Step 1: Identify the nominal threaded pipe size.
• Step 2: Confirm a 90-degree piping turn is required.
• Step 3: Confirm a male x female street connection is preferred.
• Step 4: Match the nominal size to the correct Midland part number.
• Step 5: Verify the fitting is appropriate for the piping system and application.

• Verify nominal thread size before installation.
• Inspect both male and female threads for damage or contamination.
• Use thread sealant appropriate for the piping application.
• Start threaded connections carefully to avoid cross-threading.
• Orient the elbow before completing final tightening.
• Avoid excessive torque that could damage the fitting or mating component.
• Support connected piping to minimize mechanical stress on the elbow.
• Test the completed piping system according to applicable requirements.
