Matco-norca mn-ft3lst9005 Forged Steel 90 Street Elbow 1 in

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA mn-ft3lst9005 is a Class 3000 forged steel threaded 90-degree street elbow designed for high-pressure piping systems in commercial and industrial applications. Built from forged steel for strength and durability, this street elbow features one male threaded end and one female threaded end, allowing it to connect directly to a pipe or fitting without an additional nipple. Rated at Class 3000, it is suited for demanding pressure and temperature conditions. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in steam, gas, oil, and water piping systems where reliable directional changes are required.

This forged steel street elbow is intended for use in high-pressure threaded piping systems found in commercial mechanical rooms, industrial process piping, and heavy-duty plumbing installations. The 1-inch nominal size fits standard NPT threaded pipe. Its 90-degree angle redirects flow perpendicular to the incoming pipe run, making it a common choice for tight-space routing where a standard elbow and nipple combination would add unnecessary length.

Key Features

• Class 3000 pressure rating for high-pressure service applications
• Forged steel construction for superior strength over cast fittings
• 90-degree street configuration with male and female NPT threaded ends
• 1-inch nominal pipe size with standard NPT thread form
• Compact design eliminates need for an additional nipple at the turn

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1-inch NPT threaded high-pressure piping systems rated at Class 3000.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten to the fitting manufacturer recommendations without over-torquing, which can crack threaded connections. Inspect for leaks after restoring system pressure.
