Legines 45 Degree Street Elbow 1/2" NPT Male x 1/2" NPT Female Brass Pipe Fitting (Pack of 2)

• 45-degree street elbow for connecting a male-ended and a female-ended pipe at an angle
• 1/2" Female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threads on one end and 1/2" male NPT threads on the other for connecting pipes with different ends
• Brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability
• 1200 PSI working pressure, Temperature range of -65°F to 250°F (-53°C to 121°C)
• These fittings contain lead and are not allowed by federal law to be installed for potable water use in the U.S.A. and its territories.

The 45-degree street elbow pipe fitting is made of brass barstock and has a 1/2" female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded connection and a 1/2" male NPT threaded connection. This 45-degree street elbow fitting, or "street ell," connects two pipes, one with a male end and the other with a female end, at a 45-degree angle to change the direction of flow between pipes. It has female NPT threads on one end and male NPT threads on the other for connecting a male and a female threaded pipe. The NPT threads create a tighter seal than straight threads. This fitting is made from brass barstock for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. Brass barstock is machined to creating a seamless, dense material that resists splitting and leaking. Brass can be connected to copper, brass, plastic, aluminum, and welded steel. The operating temperatures for this fitting range from -53 to 121 degrees C (-65 to 250 degrees F). Pipe fittings are components used for connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and changing the direction of piping in many different industries. When purchasing pipe fittings, consider the application, as this will affect material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available threaded or unthreaded, in many shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules (pipe wall thickness).
