It connects a 2-1\/2 inch female pipe thread (FPT) inlet to a 2-inch FPT outlet, allowing a direction change and pipe size reduction in a single fitting. The casting conforms to multiple industry standards including AWWA C800, ASME B16.15, ASME B1.20.1, WW-P-460C, and MSS-SP-106, making it suitable for municipal, commercial, and industrial piping applications. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the primary installers of this type of fitting in both new construction and retrofit work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis elbow is used wherever a piping run must change direction 90 degrees while simultaneously stepping down from 2-1\/2 inch to 2-inch pipe. Typical applications include water service laterals, mechanical room distribution headers, and commercial plumbing systems where lead-free materials are required by code. The 2-1\/2-8 thread specification ensures compatibility with standard pipe threading used across these installations. Its lead-free bronze construction meets requirements for systems carrying drinking water under modern plumbing codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLead-free bronze construction meets drinking water safety requirements for potable water systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCombines a 90-degree direction change and pipe size reduction in one fitting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2-1\/2 in FPT x 2 in FPT connections with 2-1\/2-8 thread specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConforms to AWWA C800, ASME B16.15, ASME B1.20.1, WW-P-460C, and MSS-SP-106 standards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact profile: 3.5 inches height, 4.25 inches length, 3.95 inches width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 2-1\/2 inch to 2-inch FPT threaded piping systems in potable water, commercial plumbing, and water service applications requiring lead-free bronze fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and ASME or AWWA standards. Shut off and depressurize the water supply before removing any existing fittings or threading new connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly, and tighten to a snug fit using a pipe wrench without over-torquing bronze fittings. Verify the system is leak-free before returning it to service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 1\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2 inches FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Size 2\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 inches FPT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Female Pipe Thread (FPT) x Female Pipe Thread (FPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 90 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Specification\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-1\/2-8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Lead-Free Bronze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.95 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.76 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: AWWA C800, ASME B16.15, ASME B1.20.1, WW-P-460C, MSS-SP-106\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MIDLAND INDUSTRIES\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 44146LF\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MIDLAND INDUSTRIES","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67949354582322,"sku":"44146LF","price":228.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e3bef1b1ad21f6d04c424dbb0127b41c_3b68b079-79b1-4e06-844f-5346e04030e8.jpg?v=1791689993","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/midland-industries-44146lf-90-deg-reducing-elbow-bronze","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
