Street Elbow vs. Standard 45 Degree Elbow
Street Elbow
A street elbow uses one male and one female threaded connection, allowing it to screw directly into another female-threaded fitting.
Standard 45° Elbow
A standard threaded 45° elbow typically uses female threaded connections on both ends and may require an additional nipple when joining another female-threaded component.
Typical Applications
Plumbing & Water Systems
- Potable water piping
- Residential plumbing
- Commercial plumbing
- Fixture and valve connections
- Maintenance and repair
Commercial & Industrial
- Industrial piping systems
- Mechanical piping layouts
- Equipment connections
- General fluid handling systems
- Compact threaded piping assemblies

It is manufactured from bronze.
What type of connections does it use?
It uses one male NPT connection and one female NPT connection.
Why is it called a street elbow?
A street elbow has one male threaded end and one female threaded end, allowing it to connect directly into another female-threaded component.
How is it different from a standard 45 degree elbow?
A standard threaded 45° elbow typically has female connections on both ends, while a street elbow combines one male and one female connection.
Does it require a separate nipple?
Not necessarily. The male end can connect directly into a compatible female-threaded fitting, which may eliminate the need for a separate nipple.
