Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13262 is a 3/8 inch malleable iron 45 degree elbow fitting with a black finish, designed for threaded pipe installations in plumbing, HVAC, and gas distribution systems. Built to Class 150 standards, this elbow handles a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi, making it suitable for a wide range of mechanical system applications. The black finish is standard for gas piping work. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers. This fitting ships in a package quantity of five units.

This fitting is used in residential and light commercial piping systems where a 45 degree directional change is needed in a 3/8 inch threaded line.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local mechanical and plumbing codes, including the IPC and IFGC where applicable. Shut off the gas or water supply and relieve system pressure before removing or installing any fitting. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten with a pipe wrench to a snug, leak-free connection. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
