Value Collection 13281 45 Degree Street Elbow 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13281 is a 45 degree street elbow fitting used in threaded pipe assemblies for gas and liquid distribution systems. Constructed from malleable iron with a black finish, this Class 150 fitting is rated for up to 300 psi and accepts a 1/4 inch threaded connection. Street elbows differ from standard elbows in that one end is male-threaded and the other is female-threaded, allowing a direct connection to another fitting without a nipple. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians install these fittings in low-pressure gas lines, compressed air runs, and water distribution piping.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a 45 degree directional change is needed in a 1/4 inch threaded line. Common install scenarios include natural gas branch lines, steam and hydronic heating systems, and compressed air distribution runs. The malleable iron construction and black finish make it appropriate for both concealed and exposed indoor piping. This item ships in a package quantity of 5, making it practical for service vans stocking common fittings.

Installation Notes

This fitting is installed by licensed plumbers, pipefitters, or HVAC technicians following applicable code requirements including IFGC guidelines for gas piping and ASME B16.3 standards for malleable iron fittings. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembly or installation. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before makeup — do not apply sealant to the first two threads. Avoid over-tightening, which can crack malleable iron fittings.
