Value Collection -12144-2 45 Degree Elbow 3/8 Inch Npt

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION -12144-2 is a 45 degree forged carbon steel pipe elbow designed to change flow direction in high-pressure piping systems. Sized at 3/8 inch with NPT end connections, this fitting carries a Class 3000 pressure rating of 3000 psi, making it suited for demanding gas and liquid service. The black finish is standard for carbon steel fittings of this class. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of fitting in both above-ground and in-wall applications where a compact, strong directional change is required.

This elbow is appropriate for use in residential and commercial piping systems handling natural gas, air, steam, oil, and compatible liquids within the rated pressure limits. The 3/8 inch NPT thread size fits standard Schedule 80 and compatible Class 3000 pipe assemblies. It is sold in a package quantity of five units, making it practical for service calls or small installation projects requiring multiple fittings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the International Plumbing Code or International Fuel Gas Code. Depressurize and isolate the piping section completely before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly, and tighten to the fitting manufacturer's recommended engagement depth using properly sized pipe wrenches. Do not over-tighten forged fittings, as thread damage can compromise pressure integrity.
