Asc Engineered Solutions 8700125407 Reducing Galvanized Elbow

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700125407 is a 3/4-inch by 1/2-inch 90-degree reducing galvanized elbow, also referred to as a 1/4 bend, manufactured from malleable iron with a flat banded exterior. This fitting changes both direction and pipe size in a single connection, making it a practical choice for tight-run pipe installations where a 90-degree turn and a reduction from 3/4 inch to 1/2 inch are needed at the same point. It meets Federal Specification WW-P-521F, ANSI B16.3 for dimensions, ANSI B2.1 for pipe threads, and ASTM A197 for chemical and physical properties. Plumbers and pipefitters use this fitting in threaded iron pipe systems across a wide range of service applications.

This reducing elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, mechanical piping, and general-purpose threaded pipe systems. It is commonly installed where branch lines step down from a main 3/4-inch run to a 1/2-inch supply line. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in dry or damp environments. The female NPT threads on both ends accept standard tapered pipe threads per ANSI B2.1.

Key Features

• 90-degree turn with simultaneous size reduction from 3/4 inch to 1/2 inch in one fitting
• Malleable iron construction per ASTM A197 for strength and impact resistance
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in damp or exposed environments
• Flat banded exterior pattern, standard malleable iron style
• Meets ANSI B16.3 dimensional standards and ANSI B2.1 pipe thread specifications
• Complies with Federal Specification WW-P-521F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard threaded malleable iron pipe systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working with threaded iron pipe systems. Shut off and depressurize the line before removing or installing any fitting. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe compound to the male threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Work complies with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements for threaded pipe fittings.
