Introducing the STZ Industries 1-1/2 in. FIP x 1-1/2 in. MIP Galvanized Malleable Iron 45 Degree Street Elbow — a compact, dependable bend designed to navigate tight spaces without sacrificing flow or durability. Built with lead-free malleable iron and a galvanized finish, this elbow combines rugged performance with corrosion resistance for long-lasting service in potable water and general piping applications.
Key advantages
-
Lead-free, potable-water ready design supports safe, compliant installations where drinking water quality matters.
-
1-1/2" FIP to 1-1/2" MIP configuration simplifies connections by integrating female and male ends in a single fitting, reducing assembly time and leak points.
-
Galvanized malleable iron delivers impressive strength with outstanding resistance to corrosion in damp environments, extending the life of your piping run.
-
45-degree offset turns minimize stress on the pipe while navigating obstacles, enabling cleaner routes in crawlspaces, basements, or behind fixtures.
-
Pressure and temperature tolerance rated up to 300 psi and 150°F, making it suitable for a wide range of residential and light commercial systems.
-
Reliable, ready-to-install with a bagged packaging approach that protects the fitting during shipping and storage.
Ideal uses and scenarios
- Reconfiguring water supply lines in tight utility spaces where a straight run isn’t possible, such as behind sinks, in closets, or under stairs.
- Routing a supply line around cabinets or appliances where space is at a premium, while maintaining a secure FIP-to-MIP connection.
- Repairs and remodels where minimizing the number of parts (no extra nipples needed) reduces installation time and potential leak points.
- Plumbing upgrades in both residential and commercial settings that require durable, corrosion-resistant joints in moderate-pressure systems.

Practical installation tips
- Prepare mating surfaces by ensuring threads are clean and free of debris before assembly.
- Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the MIP end threads to ensure a reliable, leak-free joint; the FIP side typically mates with a corresponding male-threaded pipe or fitting.
- Hand-tighten, then give a final quarter-turn with a wrench to recommended torque—avoid over-tightening to protect the threads and the fittings.
- Support and secure piping after installation to reduce stress on the elbow and connected joints.
