Asc Engineered Solutions 2D.BM45L 45 Deg Elbow 2-1/2 in

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 2D.BM45L is a 45-degree pipe elbow rated for 150 lb service, designed for threaded piping systems in commercial and residential applications. Manufactured from black malleable iron with female NPT (FNPT) threads on both ends, this fitting measures 2-1/2 inches and is domestically produced. Malleable iron construction provides the toughness and ductility needed to handle mechanical stress and thermal cycling in gas, steam, and water distribution systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting where a 45-degree directional change is required in a threaded iron pipe run.

This 45-degree elbow is suited for use in low-pressure gas piping, steam lines, and water distribution systems where black iron threaded fittings are specified. It is commonly installed in commercial mechanical rooms, industrial facilities, and residential gas supply lines. The 150 lb pressure class makes it appropriate for standard-service threaded piping governed by ASME B16.3 fitting standards. Black finish is standard for gas service applications where a protective coating is required.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for directional changes in threaded pipe runs
• 2-1/2 inch FNPT threads on both ends for standard threaded pipe connections
• 150 lb pressure class rating suitable for gas, steam, and water service
• Malleable iron construction resists mechanical shock and thermal cycling
• Black finish appropriate for gas distribution and general-purpose piping
• Domestically manufactured to ASME B16.3 malleable iron fitting standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-1/2 inch threaded malleable iron piping systems rated at 150 lb service class.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including IFGC requirements for gas piping applications. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-tight using a pipe wrench — do not over-torque malleable iron fittings. Verify system pressure rating does not exceed the 150 lb class limit of this fitting.
