Midland Industries 28233 1/2 in Brass 45-deg Street Elbow Nptf

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 28233 is a 45-degree brass street elbow designed to change flow direction in threaded piping systems. It features a 1/2-inch female NPTF inlet and a 1/2-inch male NPTF outlet, allowing it to thread directly into a fitting without a coupling. The fitting is rated to 1200 psi and handles temperatures from -65 to 250 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of pressurized fluid and gas applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this type of fitting when space constraints require a compact directional change in a run of threaded pipe.

This street elbow is compatible with aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, iron, and steel pipe, giving it broad utility across residential and commercial piping installations. Typical applications include gas lines, compressed air systems, hydraulic lines, and general plumbing distribution where a 45-degree offset is needed. The center-to-end dimension of 3/4 inch supports tight-clearance installations where a standard elbow and nipple combination would not fit.

Key Features

• 45-degree street elbow configuration for compact directional changes without an added nipple
• 1/2-14 NPTF thread form on both ends for pressure-tight, dryseal connections
• 1200 psi pressure rating for high-demand fluid and gas applications
• Operating temperature range of -65 to 250 degrees F
• Brass construction for corrosion resistance and durability across compatible pipe materials
• 3/4-inch center-to-end dimension supports space-constrained installations

Compatibility

Rated for use with aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, iron, and steel pipe. Suitable for pressurized systems within the rated pressure and temperature limits.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC and IFGC requirements for the system type. Depressurize and isolate the line before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or NPTF-rated tape to the male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten; use a pipe wrench to achieve a firm, leak-free connection without cracking the fitting body.
