Midland Industries 68103 90 Degree Elbow 1/2 in Fpt 300 Lb

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 68103 is a 90-degree elbow fitting designed to change flow direction in threaded pipe systems. Manufactured from malleable iron with a galvanized finish, it provides corrosion resistance for use in demanding industrial and commercial piping applications. Rated at 300 lb pressure class under an Extra Heavy (XH) schedule, this fitting is built for higher-pressure service than standard Class 150 fittings. Both connections are 1/2 in female pipe thread (FPT), sized to a 1/2-14 thread specification. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors working on gas, water, and industrial fluid systems routinely specify this type of fitting where directional changes are required.

This elbow is suited for residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic systems, compressed air lines, and light industrial piping where a 90-degree directional change is needed in a threaded malleable iron system. The galvanized coating makes it appropriate for wet or corrosive environments. The 1/2 in FPT on both ends allows straightforward connection to standard 1/2 in male-threaded pipe, nipples, or valves without adapters.

Key Features

• 300 lb pressure class rating for higher-pressure service compared to standard Class 150 fittings
• Extra Heavy (XH) schedule malleable iron construction for added wall thickness and durability
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet or humid environments
• 1/2 in FPT x 1/2 in FPT connections with 1/2-14 thread specification for standard pipe compatibility
• 90-degree bend for clean directional changes in threaded piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for threaded malleable iron pipe systems using 1/2 in female pipe thread connections in Extra Heavy 300 lb Class configurations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, including IPC and IFGC requirements where relevant. Shut off and depressurize the system fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque the fitting, as malleable iron can crack under excessive force.
