Asc 8700126454 Galvanized Malleable Iron 45 Deg Elbow 1/8 in

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700126454 is a 1/8-inch, 45-degree galvanized malleable iron elbow, commonly called a 1/8 bend, used to change pipe direction at a 45-degree angle in low-pressure piping systems. Constructed from malleable iron meeting ASTM A-197 chemical and physical property standards, this fitting features a flat banded body and NPT-threaded ends conforming to ANSI B-2.1. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in exposed or moderately humid environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in residential and light commercial gas, water, and steam distribution systems where a shallow directional change is needed.

This 45-degree elbow is suited for residential and commercial piping applications requiring a gradual direction change without the abrupt turn of a 90-degree fitting. It is manufactured to Federal Specification WW-P-521F and ANSI B-16.3 dimensional standards, ensuring consistent thread engagement and fitment with standard pipe and fittings. Typical install scenarios include branch piping, riser connections, and offset runs in gas, water, and low-pressure steam systems.

Key Features

• 45-degree bend angle for gradual directional changes in pipe runs
• Malleable iron construction per ASTM A-197 for impact resistance and thread integrity
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in exposed or humid conditions
• Flat banded body style for secure wrench grip during installation
• NPT threads conforming to ANSI B-2.1 for reliable, leak-resistant connections
• Dimensional compliance with ANSI B-16.3 and Federal Specification WW-P-521F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1/8-inch NPT threaded pipe systems in residential and light commercial gas, water, and low-pressure steam applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code. Shut off supply pressure and depressurize the line before disassembly or fitting installation. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before makeup; do not overtighten, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive torque. Pressure-test the system after installation per code requirements before returning to service.
