Value Collection 13260G Malleable Iron 45 Elbow 1/8 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13260G is a 45-degree pipe elbow manufactured from malleable iron with a black finish. It accepts 1/8-inch threaded connections and carries a Class 150 pressure rating, making it suitable for low-pressure piping systems in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical applications. The black finish indicates an untreated iron surface commonly specified for gas piping and general industrial service. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC mechanics install this fitting when a 45-degree directional change is needed in a small-diameter threaded iron pipe assembly.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where malleable iron threaded fittings are required. Common applications include natural gas supply lines, compressed air distribution, and general-purpose water or steam piping within Class 150 service limits. The 1/8-inch size is typical for pilot gas lines, instrument connections, and small branch takeoffs where a compact 45-degree turn is needed within a threaded iron system.

Key Features

• Malleable iron construction provides strength and resistance to vibration-induced cracking compared to cast iron
• Black finish is standard for gas piping applications per common trade practice
• Class 150 rating with a 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for reliable low-pressure service
• 1/8-inch threaded end connections for direct installation into NPT-threaded pipe assemblies
• 45-degree elbow geometry allows gradual directional changes in tight piping layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting compatible with standard 1/8-inch NPT threaded iron pipe systems rated at Class 150 or lower service conditions.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber, pipefitter, or qualified HVAC mechanic in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC). Shut off and depressurize the supply line fully before removing or installing any threaded fitting. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
