Meet the STZ Industries 2 in. FIP x 2 in. MIP Galvanized Malleable Iron 45-degree Street Elbow — a rugged, ready-to-use fitting engineered for dependable piping in tight spaces. With a galvanized finish and lead-free composition, it delivers lasting performance for demanding installations where reliability matters as much as fit.
Why this elbow stands out
-
Dual-thread design: one end is FIP (female iron pipe) and the other is MIP (male iron pipe), each 2 inches in diameter, enabling a clean 45-degree turn between sections of pipe.
-
Space-saving 45-degree angle: direction change that helps you navigate around obstacles and maintain smooth flow in restricted areas.
-
Durable malleable iron with a corrosion-resistant galvanized finish, built to withstand everyday use in damp, outdoor, or basement environments.
-
Lead-free construction adds peace of mind for long-term safety in plumbing applications.
-
Solid pressure and temperature ratings: rated up to 300 psi and works in environments up to 150 °F, making it suitable for a variety of water and utility piping tasks.
-
Practical packaging: bagged packaging keeps the elbow protected during shipping and storage.
Ideal applications
- Residential and light commercial piping where a 45-degree redirect is needed without sacrificing pipe integrity.
- Water distribution lines, irrigation systems, and other iron pipe installations that require reliable threaded connections.
- Areas with limited space or awkward layouts where a straight elbow won’t fit.
Installation tips
- Prepare threads by cleaning and checking for debris.
- Apply PTFE tape to the MIP (male) threads and, if appropriate, a compatible pipe-thread sealant to the FIP (female) threads.
- Hand-tighten and then snug with a wrench. Avoid overtightening to prevent thread damage.
- Inspect joints after assembly and test for leaks before pressurizing the system.
