Value Collection 13013G Malleable Iron 45 Elbow 1/2 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13013G is a Class 150 malleable iron 45-degree elbow fitting designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical systems. Rated at 300 psi for liquid and gas service and 150 psi for steam, this galvanized fitting delivers reliable pressure containment in both low- and medium-pressure applications. The malleable iron construction provides the ductility needed to withstand mechanical stress and minor vibration in installed piping runs. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of threaded iron pipe systems in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments.

This 1/2-inch 45-degree elbow is suited for directional changes in threaded iron pipe systems carrying water, gas, steam, or compatible fluids. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance appropriate for exposed or semi-exposed installations. Typical applications include branch lines in gas distribution systems, steam heating piping, and domestic water supply runs where a 45-degree offset is required rather than a sharp 90-degree turn. This fitting is sold individually and requires a minimum order of 5 units.

Key Features

• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for reliable service in pressurized lines
• 150 psi steam pressure rating suitable for low-pressure steam heating systems
• Class 150 malleable iron construction resists mechanical stress and minor vibration
• Galvanized finish provides corrosion protection in exposed installations
• 45-degree angle reduces flow turbulence compared to sharp 90-degree elbows
• 1/2-inch fitting size covers common residential and light commercial pipe sizes

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Class 150 threaded malleable iron fitting compatible with 1/2-inch NPT iron pipe in plumbing, gas, and steam heating applications per ASME B16.3 Class 150 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, or the International Fuel Gas Code as relevant to the service. Shut off and depressurize the line and, for gas systems, verify the absence of gas before threading or unthreading any fitting. Use appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium. Do not overtighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
