Asc D.BM45L Malleable Iron 45 Deg Elbow 1/2 in Fnpt 150lb

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions D.BM45L is a 45-degree pipe elbow designed for threaded piping systems in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical installations. Manufactured from malleable iron with a black finish, this fitting is rated at 150 lb and accepts half-inch female National Pipe Taper (FNPT) connections on both ends. The malleable iron construction provides reliable strength and ductility, making it suitable for moderate-pressure applications where a directional change is required in the line. Domestically produced, this elbow meets standard expectations for dimensional accuracy and thread quality common in Ward Mfg fittings.

This 45-degree elbow is used wherever a piping run requires an angled change in direction without the sharp turn of a 90-degree fitting. It is a common component in gas supply lines, steam systems, air lines, and water distribution systems. The FNPT thread pattern allows direct connection to standard threaded pipe or nipples. It is appropriate for residential gas piping, boiler room work, compressed air distribution, and light industrial mechanical systems.

Key Features

• 45-degree angle change for gradual directional routing in threaded pipe systems
• Half-inch FNPT threads on both ends for standard pipe connection
• 150 lb pressure rating suitable for moderate-pressure gas, air, and fluid service
• Malleable iron construction offers strength and resistance to cracking under stress
• Black finish provides corrosion resistance appropriate for interior piping applications
• Domestic manufacture for consistent dimensional and thread quality

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard half-inch NPT threaded pipe systems used in residential and commercial plumbing, gas, and mechanical applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC requirements for gas systems, or IPC requirements for water and drainage systems. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply appropriate thread sealant or tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten; hand-tighten first and use a pipe wrench for final make-up to avoid damaging threads.
