Midland Industries 44184LF 45 Degree Brass Elbow 3/4 Inch

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 44184LF is a 45-degree rough brass elbow fitting designed for use in plumbing and piping systems where a directional change is required. This fitting redirects flow at a 45-degree angle, making it a standard component in water supply, gas distribution, and general fluid handling applications. The lead-free brass construction meets modern plumbing code requirements for potable water systems. At 0.3 pounds, it is a compact, durable fitting suited for installation by licensed plumbers and pipefitters working on both new construction and retrofit projects.

This elbow fitting is appropriate for residential and light commercial plumbing installations where a 3/4-inch pipe connection is required. It is commonly used in water supply lines, hydronic heating systems, and similar fluid piping configurations. The 45-degree angle allows installers to navigate around obstructions or transition pipe runs without requiring a full 90-degree turn, providing flexibility in tight spaces or complex routing situations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC guidelines. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before beginning any fitting work. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape on threaded connections and ensure proper torque is applied using pipe wrenches without over-tightening, which can crack brass fittings. Inspect the connection for leaks before returning the system to full service pressure.
