Bmi Usa 20374 1/2 Inch Xh Black Street 90 Elbow

Product Description

The BMI USA 20374 is a 1/2-inch extra-heavy malleable iron street 90-degree elbow finished in black. Street elbows feature a male fitting on one end and a female fitting on the other, allowing a direct connection without a nipple between fittings. The extra-heavy (XH) wall rating makes this fitting suited for high-pressure piping systems where standard fittings are not adequate. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in black iron gas piping, steam lines, and industrial process piping applications.

This street 90-degree elbow is used in residential and commercial piping systems that require a direction change at the fitting itself. The male-by-female configuration reduces the number of threaded joints in tight spaces, making it a practical choice for gas distribution lines, compressed air systems, and steam piping where a clean 90-degree turn is needed in a confined layout.

Key Features

• Extra-heavy (XH) malleable iron construction for high-pressure service
• Street configuration: male NPT on one end, female NPT on the other
• 90-degree turn in a single fitting, reducing joint count in tight runs
• Black finish suited for non-potable water, gas, steam, and compressed air lines
• 1/2-inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threading

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2-inch NPT threaded black iron piping systems in gas, steam, and industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before threading or unthreading any fittings. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; tighten to snug plus a few turns by hand and finish with a pipe wrench to avoid cracking the casting.
