Asc D.NM45L 45 Deg Pipe Elbow 1/2 in Fnpt 150 Lb Galvanized

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions D.NM45L is a 45-degree pipe elbow fitting rated at 150 lb, designed for threaded pipe assemblies in residential and commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical systems. Constructed from malleable iron with a galvanized finish, this fitting changes flow direction by 45 degrees using female NPT (FNPT) connections on both ends. At 1/2 inch nominal pipe size, it suits a wide range of light- to medium-duty piping applications. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in exposed or moderately humid environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors are the typical installers.

This elbow is suited for use in low-pressure gas piping, potable water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and general industrial piping where a 45-degree directional change is required. The 1/2 inch FNPT thread pattern is compatible with standard Schedule 40 threaded pipe. Domestic manufacture supports compliance requirements on projects that specify USA-made materials. The 150 lb pressure class meets the demands of most residential and light commercial mechanical installations.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for precise directional changes in threaded pipe runs
• 150 lb pressure class suitable for low- to medium-pressure service
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and impact resistance
• Galvanized finish for added corrosion resistance in exposed installations
• 1/2 inch FNPT connections on both ends for standard threaded pipe
• Domestically manufactured to support buy-American project requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style threaded fitting for use with standard 1/2 inch Schedule 40 threaded pipe in 150 lb-rated piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements for the system type. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus the appropriate number of turns for the pipe size per standard practice. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive force.
