Midland Industries 64150 90 Deg Reducing Elbow 3x2 Fpt Iron

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 64150 is a 90-degree reducing elbow fitting manufactured from malleable iron with a galvanized finish. It connects a 3-inch female pipe thread (FPT) inlet to a 2-inch FPT outlet, allowing a direction change and a reduction in pipe diameter within a single fitting. Rated at 150 lb pressure class and conforming to ANSI B16.3 dimensional standards, this elbow is built for threaded iron pipe systems in industrial and commercial plumbing and gas distribution applications. It weighs 1.4 pounds and carries a temperature range of -20 to 350 degrees F. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers.

This fitting is suited for galvanized threaded pipe systems in commercial and industrial settings where both a directional change and a pipe size reduction are needed at the same point. Typical applications include water distribution, gas piping, fire protection, and compressed air lines that use Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 malleable iron fittings. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for wet or humid environments. Thread dimensions follow the 3-8 x 2-11-1/2 thread specification.

• Thread dimensions: 3-8 x 2-11-1/2

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for galvanized 150 lb malleable iron threaded pipe systems using 3-inch and 2-inch Schedule 40 or Schedule 80 pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Apply an approved pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Hand-tighten the fitting first, then use a pipe wrench to achieve a leak-free joint without over-torquing the threads. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before removing any existing fitting or making connections.
