Matco-norca mn-zmglst4504 Galvanized 45 Deg Street Elbow 3/4 in

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA mn-zmglst4504 is a 3/4 inch galvanized malleable iron street 45-degree elbow designed for threaded pipe systems in plumbing, mechanical, and light industrial applications. As a street fitting, it combines a male NPT thread on one end and a female NPT thread on the other, allowing direct connection to a pipe or fitting without a nipple in between. The 45-degree angle allows directional changes in piping runs where a gradual offset is needed. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this fitting in water supply, gas distribution, and general mechanical piping assemblies.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial piping installations where galvanized steel fittings are specified. It is commonly used in water supply lines, drain-waste-vent adjacent support piping, and low-pressure gas or air lines where threaded galvanized fittings meet code requirements. The street configuration is especially useful in tight spaces where eliminating an extra fitting or nipple simplifies the assembly and reduces potential leak points.

Key Features

• Street fitting design with MNPT inlet and FNPT outlet for direct pipe-to-fitting connections
• 45-degree elbow angle for gradual directional offsets in threaded piping runs
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• 3/4 inch fitting size on both connection ends for standard pipe compatibility
• Threaded on both ends per NPT standards for leak-resistant assembly with pipe dope or thread tape

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 3/4 inch threaded galvanized steel piping systems using NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off the water or gas supply and depressurize the line before disassembling or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to a secure, wrench-tight connection without over-torquing. Inspect for leaks after restoring pressure to the system.
