Anvil International Inc 8700127304 Black Street Elbow

Product Description

The ANVIL INTERNATIONAL INC 8700127304 is a 1/2 inch black street elbow rated at 90 degrees, used to redirect threaded pipe runs in gas, air, and water piping systems. A street elbow differs from a standard elbow by featuring one male-threaded end and one female-threaded end, allowing it to thread directly into a fitting without requiring a nipple between connections. This design reduces the overall number of fittings in tight spaces and keeps assemblies compact. Plumbers, pipefitters, and gas fitters install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial applications where a direction change is needed within a limited clearance envelope.

This 90-degree street elbow is suited for use in black iron pipe systems commonly found in natural gas and propane distribution lines, as well as compressed air and other compatible fluid service applications. The 1/2 inch size is a standard thread size frequently encountered at appliance connections, valve inlets, and branch takeoffs. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters are the typical installing trades for gas-service applications. Compressed air and water piping installations may be performed by pipefitters or mechanical contractors depending on jurisdiction.

Key Features

• 90-degree directional change in a single fitting, eliminating the need for an intermediate nipple
• Street configuration with one male NPT end and one female NPT end for direct fitting-to-fitting connection
• 1/2 inch thread size fits standard pipe and fittings in gas, air, and compatible fluid systems
• Black finish typical of black malleable or black iron fittings used in gas distribution piping
• Sold as a package of 75 individual units per package quantity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard trade fitting for 1/2 inch NPT black iron pipe systems in residential and commercial gas, air, and compatible fluid piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or gas fitter where required by local code, in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or applicable mechanical code. Shut off and verify zero pressure at the gas or fluid supply before disassembling or connecting any fitting. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings; use proper pipe wrenches and follow standard pipefitting practice to avoid cracking the fitting body.
