Aqualine GEL45-125 Galvanized 45 Degree Elbow 1.25 in

Product Description

The AQUALINE GEL45-125 is a 1.25-inch threaded galvanized steel 45-degree elbow fitting designed for directional changes in threaded pipe systems. This malleable iron or steel elbow redirects flow at a 45-degree angle, reducing turbulence compared to a sharper 90-degree turn. It is used in water supply, gas distribution, and general plumbing systems where a gradual change in pipe direction is required. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance suitable for indoor and moderate-exposure environments.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing and mechanical systems. A 45-degree elbow is commonly chosen in applications where reducing flow restriction and pressure drop is a priority over a tighter directional change. It is appropriate for use in water supply lines, irrigation headers, and threaded pipe assemblies where a 1.25-inch nominal pipe size connection is required. Installation typically takes place in utility rooms, mechanical spaces, and below-grade or above-grade pipe runs.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle provides a gradual directional change to reduce flow turbulence
• 1.25-inch threaded connection for standard NPT pipe compatibility
• Galvanized finish offers corrosion resistance for typical plumbing environments
• Threaded ends allow tool-assisted assembly without soldering or welding
• Order increment of 1 allows single-unit purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-stock fitting compatible with 1.25-inch nominal threaded pipe systems following NPT standards in residential and commercial plumbing applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the water or gas supply before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not overtighten threaded fittings, as this can crack the fitting or damage the threads.
