Asc 8700128203 Black Iron 45 Deg Street Elbow 1/2 in Npt

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700128203 is a 1/2 inch 45-degree street malleable black iron elbow designed for low-pressure gas, air, and fluid piping systems. Often called a quarter-bend street fitting, it features one male NPT end and one female NPT end, allowing it to connect directly to a female-threaded pipe or fitting without a separate coupling. The flat banded construction meets standard malleable iron dimensional tolerances. Typical installers are journeyman plumbers and pipefitters working on gas distribution lines, compressed air headers, or general industrial pipe runs.

This fitting is sized at 1/2 inch and is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a 45-degree directional change is needed in a tight space. The street configuration eliminates one connection point compared to a standard elbow and nipple combination, saving time and reducing potential leak points. It is sold individually and is appropriate for new construction and retrofit work alike.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) depending on the service. Shut off and depressurize the line before threading or removing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the intended service medium to all NPT connections before assembly. Do not use black iron fittings on potable water systems without verifying local code acceptance.
