Value Collection 13263G 1/2 Inch Black 45 Degree Elbow Class 150

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13263G is a 1/2 inch malleable iron 45 degree elbow with a black finish, rated Class 150 for threaded pipe systems. This fitting redirects pipe runs at a 45 degree angle and is used in both liquid and gas piping applications. It carries a pressure rating of 300 psi, making it suitable for a range of low- to mid-pressure service conditions. Plumbers and pipefitters install this type of fitting in residential and light commercial systems where a gradual directional change is needed without a full 90 degree turn. The threaded end connections allow for standard NPT assembly without welding or soldering.

This elbow is used in black iron piping systems commonly found in natural gas distribution lines, propane supply runs, steam heating systems, and general industrial pipe assemblies. The black finish is standard for gas piping and distinguishes it from galvanized fittings used in water service. Typical installations include boiler rooms, mechanical rooms, rooftop gas supply drops, and commercial kitchen gas lines where a 45 degree offset is required to route piping around structural or mechanical obstructions.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch threaded black iron pipe systems in residential and commercial gas, steam, and general-purpose liquid piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or applicable local mechanical codes. Shut off and bleed the gas or fluid supply before disassembling any portion of the piping system. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up threaded connections. After installation, pressure-test the system and inspect all joints for leaks before returning the system to service.
