Designed for use in threaded pipe systems, this elbow changes flow direction at a 45-degree angle to route piping around obstructions or into angled runs. The 3\/8-inch size and extra heavy wall construction make it suitable for demanding service conditions where standard-weight fittings may not provide adequate strength. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in gas distribution, steam, and general-purpose piping systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 45-degree elbow is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping installations where threaded malleable iron fittings are required. Its black finish is standard for gas piping applications, and the extra heavy classification indicates heavier wall thickness compared to standard or heavy fittings, providing additional durability under elevated pressure or mechanical stress conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e45-degree angle changes pipe direction without a sharp 90-degree turn, reducing flow restriction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra heavy malleable iron construction for greater wall thickness and pressure capability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack finish commonly specified for gas piping systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8-inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight at 0.25 pounds for easy handling during installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems using 3\/8-inch nominal pipe size connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of threaded malleable iron fittings is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before disassembling any threaded connection. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly, following applicable code requirements such as the IFGC for gas piping or the IPC for water and general service piping. Do not over-tighten threaded fittings, as malleable iron can crack under excessive torque.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Extra Heavy Malleable Iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 45 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 777701202032\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BMI USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20203\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BMI USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346642698546,"sku":"20203","price":23.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310553732.jpg?v=1782086403","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/bmi-usa-20203-3-8-inch-45-degree-black-pipe-elbow","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
