Southland 520-000HC Black Iron 90 Degree Elbow 1/8 in

Product Description

The SOUTHLAND 520-000HC is a 1/8-inch malleable black iron 90-degree elbow, also known as a 1/4 bend, used in threaded pipe systems carrying gas, air, or other compatible media. Manufactured to ANSI/ASTM A-197 standards for malleable iron, this fitting delivers the ductility and thread integrity that trade professionals expect in a pressure-rated elbow. Dimensions conform to ANSI/ASME B16.3 and B16.14, and threads are cut to ANSI B1.20.1 NPT standards. Each fitting is individually flag-tagged and 100 percent inspected before leaving the facility, making it a reliable choice for rough-in and service work.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a 90-degree directional change is needed in a small-diameter threaded line. Common install scenarios include gas supply branch lines, compressed air distribution, and general plumbing rough-in. The 1/8-inch size is typically found at terminal connections, gauge ports, and pilot gas supply points. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and gas technicians are the primary installers for this class of fitting.

Key Features

• Malleable black iron construction meets ANSI/ASTM A-197 for ductility and strength
• 90-degree turn in a 1/8-inch threaded fitting for tight routing in small-diameter lines
• NPT threads per ANSI B1.20.1 for reliable, leak-resistant assembly
• Dimensional compliance with ANSI/ASME B16.3 and B16.14
• Individually flag-tagged and 100 percent inspected at point of manufacture

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/8-inch NPT threaded pipe systems in gas, air, and compatible fluid applications.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or gas technicians in accordance with applicable code requirements such as the IFGC or IPC. Shut off and de-pressurize the line fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or listed pipe tape to NPT threads before assembly. Do not over-torque malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive mechanical stress.
