Vis Brass Pipe Fitting, 90 Degree Street Elbow, Female x Male (Pack of 1)

Made of brass, the 90-degree street elbow pipe fitting features a female National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded connection on one end, and a male NPT threaded connection on the other. This fitting is designed to connect two pipes, one with a male end and the other with a female end, at a 90-degree angle in order to change the direction of flow between them. The female NPT threads provide a tighter seal compared to straight threads, ensuring a secure connection.

Manufactured from brass, this fitting offers corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability. It is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from -53 to 121 degrees C (-65 to 250 degrees F). However, it is important to note that these fittings contain lead and are not permitted by federal law for use in potable water systems in the U.S.A. and its territories.

Pipe fittings play a critical role in various industries by connecting, terminating, controlling flow, and altering the direction of piping. When selecting pipe fittings, it is crucial to consider the specific application to determine the appropriate material type, shape, size, and required durability. Fittings are available in a range of options, including threaded or unthreaded, and come in various shapes, styles, sizes, and schedules to accommodate different needs.

In summary, the 90-degree street elbow fitting is ideal for connecting pipes with different ends at a 90-degree angle. With its brass construction, NPT threaded connections, and resistance to corrosion, this fitting is a reliable choice for changing the direction of flow in piping systems.
