B K Mueller 510-200HC Galv 45 Deg Elbow 1/8 Inch

Product Description

The B K Mueller Industries 510-200HC is a 1/8-inch galvanized 45-degree elbow designed for use in threaded pipe systems. This fitting changes the direction of a pipe run at a 45-degree angle, reducing turbulence compared to a sharper 90-degree turn. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor applications. This type of fitting is commonly installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on gas distribution, water supply, or general mechanical piping systems. Each package contains 25 fittings, making it practical for contractors stocking up for multiple jobs.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where 1/8-inch threaded fittings are required. The 45-degree angle makes it a common choice in tight runs where a gradual directional change is preferred. It is typically used in low-pressure gas lines, water supply branches, or compressed air distribution where NPT-threaded steel fittings are specified. The galvanized finish adds a layer of protection in environments prone to moisture exposure.

Key Features

• 1/8-inch pipe size for use in small-diameter threaded pipe systems
• 45-degree bend angle for gradual directional changes in pipe runs
• Galvanized steel construction for corrosion resistance
• Threaded fitting compatible with standard NPT pipe connections
• Sold in a package of 25 fittings to support multi-job or bulk installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitting for 1/8-inch NPT threaded pipe systems in plumbing, gas, and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling or adding fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all threaded connections before assembly. Do not overtighten, as this can crack fittings or distort threads.
