Asc 8700128450 3/8 in Galvanized Street Elbow 45 Deg

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700128450 is a 3/8 inch, 45-degree galvanized malleable iron street elbow, also referred to as a 1/8 bend fitting. It is manufactured from malleable iron with a galvanized finish for corrosion resistance and is produced to flat banded straight-size dimensions. This fitting connects directly to a pipe or fitting without requiring a separate coupling, making it useful for compact piping assemblies. It is a standard threaded pipe fitting installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters in both residential and light commercial piping systems.

This street elbow is suited for use in threaded pipe systems where a 45-degree directional change is needed without adding a nipple between fittings. Typical applications include gas distribution piping, water supply lines, and general industrial piping where galvanized malleable iron fittings are specified. The 3/8 inch size is common in branch lines and low-flow service connections. Installers working to Federal Specification WW-P-521F requirements will find this fitting meets those standards.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction meets ASTM A-197 chemical and physical property requirements
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for extended service life
• 45-degree street configuration eliminates need for an additional nipple at directional changes
• Dimensions conform to ANSI B-16.3 standard for malleable iron fittings
• Threaded to ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread specification for reliable sealed connections
• Flat banded straight-size profile for consistent fitting-to-fitting alignment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/8 inch threaded malleable iron piping systems conforming to Federal Specification WW-P-521F and ANSI B-16.3 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before threading or unthreading any fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten; use a pipe wrench sized for the fitting to achieve a proper thread engagement without cracking the fitting body.
