Brass Pipe Fitting, 90 Degree Street Elbow 1/4 Male x 1/4 Female Pipe

Manufactured by Anderson Metals, the 90-degree street elbow pipe fitting is crafted from brass barstock. This fitting features a female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded connection on one end, and a male NPT threaded connection on the other. The purpose of this 90-degree street elbow, or "street ell," is to connect two pipes together at a 90-degree angle, allowing for a change in the direction of flow between the pipes. One pipe has a male end while the other has a female end, enabling the connection of a male and a female threaded pipe.

The NPT threads on this fitting ensure a tight seal, making it suitable for various applications. Brass barstock, known for its corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability, is used in the construction of this fitting. This material is carefully machined to create a seamless, dense product that is highly resistant to splitting and leaking. Furthermore, brass can be connected to a variety of materials including copper, brass, plastic, aluminum, and welded steel.

Operating temperatures for this fitting range from -53 to 121 degrees C (-65 to 250 degrees F), making it versatile for a wide range of uses. The Anderson Metals 90-degree street elbow meets the quality assurance specifications of ASTM B584 and ASME/ANSI B16.
