Value Collection 13012 Malleable Iron 45 Elbow 3/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13012 is a 45-degree malleable iron pipe elbow fitting designed for use in threaded piping systems carrying liquid, gas, or steam. Built from Class 150 malleable iron with a galvanized finish coating, it carries a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi and a steam pressure rating of 150 psi. The 3/8 inch fitting size suits smaller-diameter pipe runs common in residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and HVAC-adjacent piping work. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install this fitting when a 45-degree directional change is needed in a threaded iron pipe system.

This elbow is suited for a wide range of threaded pipe applications including natural gas lines, compressed air distribution, water supply, and low-pressure steam systems. The galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance in exposed or moderately harsh environments. It is well suited for retrofit and new-installation work in residential and light commercial settings where threaded malleable iron fittings are the specified connection type. Sold in a package quantity of 5 units.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for moderate directional changes in threaded pipe runs
• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating
• 150 psi steam pressure rating
• Class 150 malleable iron construction for strength and machinability
• Galvanized finish coating for corrosion resistance
• 3/8 inch fitting size for smaller-diameter threaded pipe applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for threaded malleable iron pipe systems using 3/8 inch NPT connections in liquid, gas, and low-pressure steam service.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes such as the IPC or IFGC. Shut off and depressurize the pipe system completely before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten threaded connections in malleable iron fittings, as this can crack the fitting body.
