Asc Engineered Solutions 1.BM45L 45 Deg Pipe Elbow 1 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 1.BM45L is a 45-degree malleable iron pipe elbow rated for 150 lb service. It features female NPT (FNPT) threads on both ends and measures 1 inch in diameter. This fitting is finished in black and is manufactured domestically. It is used to change pipe direction at a 45-degree angle in gas, air, water, and steam distribution systems. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics install this fitting in both new construction and retrofit applications where a gradual directional change is required in threaded pipe assemblies.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems. It is commonly used in natural gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, and water supply piping where threaded malleable iron fittings are specified. The 150 lb pressure rating makes it appropriate for standard-pressure service lines. Its black finish is standard for gas piping applications and distinguishes it from galvanized fittings used in water service.

Key Features

• 45-degree bend angle for moderate directional changes in threaded pipe runs
• 1-inch FNPT threads on both ends for standard threaded pipe connections
• 150 lb pressure class rating for standard-pressure service applications
• Malleable iron construction provides strength and machinability for threaded fittings
• Black finish standard for gas piping identification and corrosion resistance in dry service
• Domestic manufacture supports project specifications requiring US-made materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for 1-inch threaded malleable iron pipe systems rated at 150 lb service class.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before cutting into an existing line or removing fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up threaded joints. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive force.
