Matco-norca zmbl4502 Black Malleable Iron 45 Deg Elbow 3/8

Product Description

The MATCO-NORCA zmbl4502 is a 45-degree elbow fitting made from Chinese malleable iron conforming to ASTM A197/A197M. It carries a Class 150 pressure rating and features female-threaded connections on both ends at 3/8 inch. The black finish is applied over the malleable iron body, making it suitable for general-purpose piping installations. Licensed plumbers and pipe fitters install this fitting in gas, air, and water distribution systems where a 45-degree directional change is required. The fitting meets ANSI/ASME B16.39, B16.14, and B1.201 standards and carries UL/FM listings.

This fitting is used in residential, commercial, and industrial piping applications. Its Class 150 rating and standard female-threaded ends make it a common choice for low-pressure gas lines, compressed air systems, and general-purpose piping where a 45-degree change of direction is needed. Both end connections are 3/8 inch female threaded, allowing direct connection to standard male-threaded pipe without adapters. The fitting is RoHS compliant and is rated for service temperatures up to 186 degrees C.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipe fitter in accordance with applicable local codes and IFGC or IPC requirements.
