Midland Industries 706124-08 45 Deg Street Elbow 1/2 in Brass

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 706124-08 is a 45-degree street elbow fitting manufactured from lead-free brass. It connects a 1/2-inch female pipe thread (FPT) inlet to a 1/2-inch male pipe thread (MPT) outlet, allowing a direction change within a piping run without requiring a separate nipple. The 1/2-14 thread specification confirms standard NPT thread form. This fitting is designed for use with brass or steel pipe systems and is compliant with lead-free material requirements applicable to potable water installations. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting during rough-in and service work on water supply and distribution systems.

This street elbow is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing applications where a 45-degree change of direction is needed in a tight space. Because the male end threads directly into a female fitting or valve, it eliminates the need for an additional close nipple, saving space on congested manifolds, near shut-off valves, and at fixture supplies. The lead-free brass construction makes it appropriate for potable water lines wherever local codes mandate lead-free wetted components.

Compatibility

Designed for use with brass or steel pipe. Accepts standard 1/2-inch NPT fittings, valves, and pipe on both the FPT and MPT ends.

Installation Notes

A licensed plumber should install this fitting in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly. Shut off water supply and depressurize the line before installation or removal. Do not over-torque - use a pipe wrench with a backup wrench on adjoining fittings to avoid stressing the pipe or connected valves.
