45 Degree Elbow Configuration
Female Threaded Connection
One end features a female threaded connection for installation with a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, fitting, valve, or equipment connection.
45° Direction Change
The angled fitting body redirects the piping system by 45 degrees, providing a more gradual transition than a standard 90-degree elbow.
Female Threaded Connection
The opposite end also features a female threaded connection for joining another compatible male-threaded piping component.
Construction Details
The red brass body offers dependable strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life in compatible piping systems.
The Extra Heavy pattern provides a more substantial fitting body than standard-pattern elbows for applications requiring increased durability.
Precision-machined female threads help provide secure engagement with compatible male-threaded components when installed using accepted threaded piping practices.
