Description
Midland Lead-Free Red Brass 45 Degree Elbow
Midland Lead-Free Red Brass 45 Degree Elbows provide a dependable angled connection between two compatible male-threaded pipes, nipples, fittings, or equipment connections.
The 45-degree configuration changes piping direction with a more gradual transition than a standard 90-degree elbow. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant lead-free red brass, these fittings feature female NPT threaded connections on both ends and are available in multiple nominal pipe sizes.

45 Degree Elbow Configuration
Female NPT Connection
One end features a precision-machined female NPT connection for installation with compatible male threaded pipe, nipples, fittings, valves, or equipment connections.
45° Direction Change
The angled body redirects the piping system by 45 degrees, providing a more gradual directional transition than a 90-degree elbow.
Female NPT Connection
The opposite end also features a female NPT connection for connection to another compatible male-threaded component.
Construction Details
Midland lead-free red brass 45-degree elbows are manufactured from corrosion-resistant red brass for dependable performance in compatible plumbing and water distribution systems.
The red brass body provides excellent resistance to corrosion and dezincification in compatible service conditions.
Precision-machined female NPT threads on both openings help provide consistent engagement with compatible male threaded components when installed using accepted piping practices.
Why Use a 45 Degree Elbow?
Gradual Direction Change
- Changes piping direction by 45 degrees
- Creates a smoother transition than a 90-degree elbow
- Useful for offset piping layouts
- Helps route piping around obstacles
- Provides flexibility in threaded piping systems
Threaded Installation
- No welding or soldering required
- Female NPT connections on both ends
- Compatible with standard male NPT components
- Suitable for maintenance and system modifications
- Available in multiple nominal sizes
NPT Threaded Connections
Female NPT x Female NPT
Both ends use female NPT threads for connection to compatible male NPT pipe, nipples, fittings, valves, or other threaded components.
Thread Sealing
Use an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape on the mating male NPT threads according to the system media, piping materials, and installation requirements.
Available Sizes
- 3/4"
- 1"
- 1-1/2"
Select the elbow size that matches the nominal pipe size of both mating male NPT components.
