Fibre-metal 69029108838 45 Degree Elbow 2-1/2 in Forged Steel

Product Description

The FIBRE-METAL 69029108838 is a 45-degree threaded pipe elbow rated for 3000 lb service in forged carbon steel. Manufactured to ASTM A105 material standards, this forged steel elbow is built for high-pressure piping systems where reliable directional change and leak-tight threaded connections are required. The 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe size and full-size configuration make it a straightforward drop-in fitting for demanding mechanical and process piping applications. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting when routing pipe runs at a 45-degree offset within pressurized systems.

This fitting is suited for use in commercial and industrial piping systems handling steam, water, oil, or gas at elevated pressures. The 3000 lb pressure class and A105 forged steel construction make it appropriate for boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, and industrial process lines where socket-weld or threaded Class 3000 fittings are specified. It follows standard ASME B16.11 forged fitting dimensions for threaded ends, ensuring compatibility with standard NPT piping connections in 2-1/2 inch nominal size.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for low-angle directional changes in threaded pipe runs
• 3000 lb pressure class rating for high-pressure piping service
• ASTM A105 forged carbon steel construction for durability in demanding conditions
• Full-size 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe size, threaded end connections
• Forged construction provides consistent wall thickness and mechanical strength

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 3000 threaded forged steel piping systems using 2-1/2 inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT threaded connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable mechanical codes such as the ASME B31.1 or B31.3 piping codes. Depressurize and isolate the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male NPT threads per the sealant manufacturer instructions before making up connections. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as this can damage the fitting threads or cause stress cracking in forged fittings.
