Cambridge Resources 506371 45-degree Elbow 1 Inch Galvanized

Product Description

The CAMBRIDGE RESOURCES 506371 is a 1-inch galvanized 45-degree elbow fitting designed for use in piping systems where a moderate directional change is required. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance suited to standard plumbing and mechanical piping applications. This type of fitting is typically installed by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on water supply, drainage, or general mechanical systems. The 45-degree angle allows for gradual directional transitions, reducing turbulence compared to sharper 90-degree bends. Sold as a single unit, the 506371 is a straightforward OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting.

This fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial piping applications where a 1-inch galvanized steel elbow at a 45-degree angle is specified. It suits installations involving water supply lines, mechanical room piping, or other systems that call for galvanized steel construction. Typical scenarios include rough-in plumbing work, system repairs, and retrofit piping runs where corrosion-resistant metallic fittings are required by code or specification.

Installation Notes

Installation of galvanized steel fittings should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and depressurize the line before removing or installing any fitting. Use appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape on threaded connections as required. Inspect mating pipe threads for damage or corrosion before making up the joint.
