Elbow Configuration
Female NPT Connection
One end features a precision-machined female NPT connection for installation with a compatible male-threaded pipe, nipple, fitting, valve, or equipment connection.
45° Direction Change
The elbow redirects the piping system by 45 degrees, providing a more gradual transition than a standard 90-degree elbow.
Female NPT Connection
The opposite end also features a female NPT connection for joining another compatible male-threaded piping component.
Construction Details
Midland Lead-Free Bronze 45° Elbows are manufactured from premium lead-free bronze to provide dependable mechanical strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and long-term performance in demanding threaded piping systems.
Precision-machined female NPT threads on both ends provide consistent engagement with compatible male-threaded components when installed using accepted piping practices.
The 45-degree body design provides a gradual directional change that can help simplify offset piping arrangements and routing around equipment or structural obstructions.
Why Choose a Lead-Free Bronze 45° Elbow?
Gradual Pipe Routing
- Changes piping direction by 45 degrees
- Provides a gentler directional transition than a 90° elbow
- Useful for offset piping arrangements
- Helps route piping around equipment and obstructions
- Suitable for new installations and repairs
Lead-Free Bronze Construction
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Dependable mechanical strength
