Midland Industries 65188 45 Degree Elbow 2in Fpt Iron 150lb

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 65188 is a 45-degree malleable iron elbow rated for 150 lb service, designed to change pipe direction in black iron piping systems. It accepts 2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) connections on both ends with a 2-11/2 thread specification, conforming to ANSI B 16.3 dimensional standards. The black finish is standard for gas and industrial piping applications. With a center-to-end dimension of 1.43 inches and a weight of 1.580 pounds, this fitting is compact enough for tight spaces while maintaining full pressure-class integrity. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas service technicians install this type of fitting in residential and commercial piping runs.

This elbow is suited for use in black iron piping systems carrying natural gas, propane, compressed air, and similar media within its rated temperature range of -20 to 350 degrees F. The 150 lb pressure class makes it appropriate for standard residential and light commercial service applications. It is commonly installed where a pipeline must change direction at a 45-degree angle without the sharper turn of a 90-degree elbow, reducing turbulence and pressure drop in the line.

Key Features

• 45-degree directional change for smoother flow transitions compared to 90-degree fittings
• 2-inch FPT x 2-inch FPT connections on both ends for in-line installation
• Malleable iron construction rated to 150 lb pressure class
• Conforms to ANSI B 16.3 dimensional standards
• Temperature rated from -20 to 350 degrees F
• Black finish suitable for gas and industrial piping systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement fitting for 2-inch black malleable iron piping systems operating within the 150 lb pressure class per ANSI B 16.3 standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter following applicable local codes and IFGC requirements for gas piping systems. Shut off and depressurize the line completely before disassembling any existing fittings. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium to all threaded connections before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
