Midland Industries 77184 45 Deg Street Elbow 1-1/2 in Copper

Product Description

The MIDLAND INDUSTRIES 77184 is a 45-degree solder joint street elbow manufactured from wrot copper for use in residential and commercial plumbing systems. One end is a street (spigot) end sized to insert directly into a standard socket fitting, while the other end is a standard sweat socket. This configuration eliminates the need for a coupling when making directional changes in a copper sweat line. The fitting is rated to 400 psi and handles temperatures from 32 degrees F to 200 degrees F. Both connection sizes are 1-1/2 inches. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting using standard solder and flux per applicable code.

This street elbow is suited for domestic water distribution, hydronic heating loops, and general plumbing rough-in work where a 45-degree directional change is required in a 1-1/2 inch copper sweat line. It is appropriate for both residential and light commercial applications. The wrot copper construction meets standard plumbing material requirements in jurisdictions following the International Plumbing Code. Minimum order quantity is one piece, making it practical for single-fitting replacements or small repair jobs.
