Matco-norca mn-ft3l4504 Forged Steel 45-degree Elbow 3/4 in

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA mn-ft3l4504 is a forged steel threaded 45-degree pipe elbow rated for Class 3000 service. It is designed to change pipe direction by 45 degrees in high-pressure piping systems and connects via standard threaded ends. At 3/4 inch, this fitting suits a wide range of industrial and mechanical piping applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting where direction changes are required without welding. The Class 3000 pressure rating makes it appropriate for demanding service conditions involving steam, gas, oil, or water systems.

This elbow is used in residential and commercial piping systems where forged steel fittings are specified. Typical applications include steam distribution lines, compressed air systems, hydraulic lines, and general industrial piping. The threaded connection allows for tool-only assembly without hot work permits, making it practical for retrofit and repair work as well as new installation.

Key Features

• 45-degree change of direction for angled piping runs
• Forged steel construction for high-pressure and high-temperature service
• Class 3000 pressure rating suitable for demanding mechanical systems
• 3/4 inch threaded ends for standard pipe thread assembly
• No welding required — threaded makeup with standard pipe wrenches

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 3000 forged steel threaded piping systems using 3/4 inch pipe thread connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable codes such as the IPC or ASME B31 piping standards. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as this can crack fittings or damage threads.
