Brass Pipe Fitting, 90 Degree Street Elbow, 1/2 Male Pipe x 1/2 Female Pipe

Manufactured by Anderson Metals, the 90-degree street elbow pipe fitting is crafted from brass barstock. It features female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on one end and male NPT threads on the other, allowing for the connection of pipes with different ends at a 90-degree angle. This street elbow fitting, also known as a "street ell," effectively changes the direction of flow between pipes.

The brass construction of this fitting ensures corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. The brass barstock material is seamlessly machined to prevent splitting and leaking, making it suitable for connecting copper, brass, plastic, aluminum, and welded steel pipes.

Meeting ASTM B584 and ASME/ANSI B16 specifications for quality assurance, this fitting is designed to operate within a temperature range of -53 to 121 degrees C (-65 to 250 degrees F). It provides a tight seal due to the NPT threads, offering enhanced reliability compared to straight threads.

Pipe fittings play a crucial role in various industries for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and altering the direction of piping. When selecting fittings, it is essential to consider the application, which influences the material, shape, size, and durability requirements. Fittings are available in threaded or unthreaded options, with different shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules based on the pipe wall thickness.
