-
Material and finish: Galvanized malleable iron combines strength and ductility with corrosion resistance, ideal for both indoor and outdoor installations.
-
90-degree angle: Precisely engineered to navigate corners and obstacles without compromising flow or increasing stress on the system.
-
Pressure and temperature tolerance: Rated up to 300 psi and 150 °F, suitable for hot and cold water supply lines, light commercial runs, and other standard piping projects.
-
Packaging and handling: Bagged packaging protects the fitting during transport and storage, ready for immediate use on site.
Typical use cases include residential re-piping under sinks or behind appliances, irrigation line connections where space is limited, and small-scale heating or cooling loops that stay within the 150 °F limit. This elbow is ideal for plumbers, contractors, and DIY enthusiasts who value durability, safety, and straightforward installation.
Practical installation tips: use a potable-water-rated thread sealant or PTFE tape on male threads, apply evenly and avoid over-tightening, and ensure threads are clean and burr-free before assembly. Align the fitting before tightening to prevent cross-threading, then test the connection under low pressure before returning the system to full operation.
