Midland Industries 738124-08 45 Deg Street Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 738124-08 is a 45-degree street elbow fitting machined from lead-free bronze, designed for potable water and general plumbing distribution systems. Both ends are 1/2-inch female pipe thread (FPT), with a 1/2-14 thread specification conforming to ASME B1.20.1. The fitting changes flow direction by 45 degrees in tight spaces where a standard elbow and nipple combination would not fit. Licensed plumbers install this fitting in residential and light commercial water supply lines. It meets multiple industry dimension and material standards, making it suitable for systems requiring lead-free compliance.

This street elbow is used in potable water supply piping, irrigation distribution headers, and general-purpose plumbing where a 45-degree directional change is needed at a threaded connection point. Its FPT-by-FPT configuration allows it to thread directly onto a male-threaded pipe or fitting on both ends. It is appropriate for residential, commercial, and municipal plumbing applications where lead-free bronze fittings are specified or required by code.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with applicable local plumbing codes and IPC requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before making or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not overtighten threaded bronze fittings, as excessive torque can crack the fitting body.
