Midland Industries 64188 45 Deg Elbow 2in Fpt Galvanized 150lb

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 64188 is a 45-degree malleable iron elbow rated at 150 lb pressure class. It features female pipe thread (FPT) connections on both ends, each sized at 2 inches with a 2-11/2 thread specification. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for use in water, air, and compatible fluid systems. This fitting is manufactured to ANSI B 16.3 dimensional standards, ensuring consistent fit with standard pipe assemblies. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting when routing pipe runs that require a 45-degree directional change. The temperature range runs from -20 degrees F to 350 degrees F, making it suitable for a wide range of service conditions.

This elbow is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where galvanized malleable iron fittings are specified. Typical applications include water distribution, compressed air lines, and general plumbing rough-in work. The 150 lb pressure class makes it appropriate for standard-pressure service lines. Its all-threaded FPT configuration connects to male-threaded (MPT) pipe ends, nipples, or other threaded fittings without welding or soldering. The center-to-end dimension of 1.68 inches is useful for precise pipe layout and offset calculations in tight spaces.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 150 lb galvanized malleable iron threaded piping systems conforming to ANSI B 16.3.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters working on threaded iron pipe systems. Shut off and depressurize the line before making any connections. Apply an appropriate pipe thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly, and tighten with a pipe wrench to a leak-free fit without over-torquing the fitting. Work should conform to applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements.
