The STZ Industries 1-1/4 in. FIP x 1-1/4 in. MIP Galvanized Malleable Iron 45° Street Elbow is built to simplify tight-turn piping projects without compromising strength. Its galvanized finish stands up to moisture and corrosion, making it a dependable choice for threaded systems in plumbing, heating, and light-duty gas applications. With a lead-free composition, it’s designed with safety and longevity in mind for potable water or other demanding environments.
-
Connections and size: 1-1/4 in. FIP x 1-1/4 in. MIP (female iron pipe to male iron pipe) to fit standard threaded piping systems. The street elbow geometry offers a compact 45° offset for easier routing in confined spaces.
-
Material and finish: Malleable iron provides durable, ductile performance with reliable torque response; galvanized coating delivers robust corrosion resistance in wet or humid settings.
-
Pressure and temperature rating: rated up to 300 psi and 150°F, enabling use in hot-water lines, radiant heating, and other everyday threaded installations where code-compliant materials are required.
-
Lead-free formulation: average lead content is lead-free, supporting safer installations in potable-water systems.
-
Design advantages: 45° street elbow design reduces installation clearance and streamlines piping layouts, especially where space is at a premium or where multiple fittings must align precisely.
-
Packaging: bagged packaging for clean storage in workshops and on job sites, ready for quick inventory and fast job setup.
Ideal uses: connect galvanized or threaded steel piping in residential or commercial projects, header runs in heating systems, or repair work where a reliable 45-degree turn is needed without welded joints. It’s especially helpful when retrofitting existing hard-popper layouts or integrating with older pipe networks that rely on threaded fittings. For best results, pair with appropriate Teflon tape or pipe joint compound on male threads, ensure clean, dry threads, and tighten to the manufacturer’s recommended torque to maintain a leak-free seal.
In short, this STZ Industries 45° street elbow delivers dependable metal-to-metal connections, durable galvanization, and a precise 45-degree bend that helps you navigate tight spaces with confidence—without compromising safety or performance.
