Asc Engineered Solutions 8700127304 1/2 in Black Iron Street Elbow

Product Description

The ASC Engineered Solutions 8700127304 is a 1/2 inch 90-degree street elbow, also known as a 1/4 bend, cast from malleable black iron. It features one male NPT end and one female NPT end, allowing it to change pipe direction without requiring a separate coupling. The fitting 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 install this type of fitting in gas distribution, compressed air, and general industrial piping systems where a tight directional change is needed at a threaded pipe end.

This street elbow is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where black iron is the required material. It is commonly used in gas supply lines, steam systems, and low-pressure air lines. The flat banded, straight-size design conforms to standard malleable iron fitting dimensions, making it a direct replacement for any standard 1/2 inch NPT 90-degree street elbow that meets the same ANSI and ASTM specifications.

Key Features

• 90-degree directional change with male NPT inlet and female NPT outlet
• Malleable black iron construction for strength and impact resistance
• Flat banded straight-size profile per ANSI B-16.3 dimensional standard
• Threads conform to ANSI B-2.1 pipe thread specification
• Meets ASTM A-197 requirements for chemical and physical properties
• Compliant with Federal Specification WW-P-521F

Compatibility

Designed as a standard OEM-style replacement for 1/2 inch NPT malleable iron 90-degree street elbows in gas, steam, compressed air, and general industrial black iron piping systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, IFGC, and IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten, as malleable iron threads can crack under excessive torque.
