Construction Details
Midland Lead-Free Red Brass 45° Street Elbows are manufactured from premium lead-free red brass to provide dependable durability and corrosion resistance in compatible potable water and fluid handling applications.
Precision-machined male and female NPT threads provide secure engagement with compatible threaded components when installed using accepted piping practices.
The street elbow configuration allows direct connection into a female threaded fitting without requiring a separate pipe nipple, helping reduce overall assembly length and the number of threaded joints.
Why Use a Street Elbow?
Compact Installation
- Male and female connections integrated into one fitting
- Eliminates the need for a separate nipple in many installations
- Reduces overall assembly length
- Useful where installation space is limited
- Provides a clean threaded piping layout
45° Direction Change
- Changes piping direction by 45 degrees
- Creates a more gradual transition than a 90° elbow
- Useful for offset piping layouts
- Helps route piping around obstacles
- Suitable for compact mechanical assemblies
NPT Threaded Connections
Male NPT x Female NPT
The street elbow combines an external male NPT connection with an internal female NPT connection for direct installation between compatible threaded components.
Thread Sealing
Use an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on NPT threaded connections according to the system media, piping materials, and installation requirements.
