Asc Engineered Solutions 8700127205 1/4 in 90 Deg Street Elbow

Product Description

The ASC ENGINEERED SOLUTIONS 8700127205 is a 1/4-inch 90-degree street elbow fitting made from malleable black iron. It features one male NPT end and one female NPT end, allowing it to connect directly to a pipe or fitting without requiring a separate coupling. This configuration — sometimes called a 1/4 bend or street elbow — changes flow direction by 90 degrees in a compact installation footprint. It is produced to flat banded straight-size dimensions and meets Federal Specification WW-P-521F, ANSI B-16.3 for dimensions, ANSI B-2.1 for pipe threads, and ASTM A-197 for chemical and physical properties. Plumbers and pipefitters use this fitting in gas, water, and low-pressure air piping systems.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a 90-degree direction change is needed in a tight space. The street configuration eliminates the need for a close nipple in many installations, saving both time and space. It is appropriate for use in threaded black iron pipe systems, including natural gas, propane, and non-potable water distribution lines where black iron is code-acceptable. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IFGC or IPC code requirements for the intended service.

Key Features

• 90-degree street elbow changes pipe direction without a separate nipple
• Male NPT inlet and female NPT outlet for direct pipe-to-fitting connection
• Malleable black iron construction suitable for threaded gas and water piping
• Meets ANSI B-16.3 dimensional standards and ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread standards
• Manufactured to ASTM A-197 chemical and physical property requirements
• Compliant with Federal Specification WW-P-521F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1/4-inch NPT threaded black iron pipe systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with local code requirements under IFGC or IPC as applicable. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before cutting into any existing piping. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
