Asc Engineered Solutions 3.BM45L 3 in Malleable Iron 45 Elbow

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 3.BM45L is a 3-inch malleable iron 45-degree pipe elbow rated for 150 lb service. It features female NPT (FNPT) threads on both ends and a standard black finish. This fitting is used to change pipeline direction at a 45-degree angle in threaded piping systems. It is domestically manufactured and suited for gas, steam, water, and industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit work where a gradual direction change is required.

This elbow is designed for threaded pipe installations in residential and commercial settings. The 3-inch size and FNPT connection make it a standard choice for larger-diameter gas distribution lines, steam heating systems, and compressed air piping. The 150 lb pressure rating covers the demands of typical building service piping. Installation follows standard threaded pipe assembly practices using compatible NPT pipe and fittings.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for gradual direction changes in threaded pipe runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use fitting for 3-inch NPT threaded 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 codes, including the International Plumbing Code (IPC) or International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where applicable. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded fittings, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive torque.
