Value Collection 13281G 1/4 in Black Iron 45 Street Elbow

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 13281G is a 45-degree street elbow fitting used to change pipe direction at a 45-degree angle in threaded pipe assemblies. Constructed from malleable iron with a black finish, this Class 150 fitting carries a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi. It connects via threaded ends, making it compatible with standard NPT pipe systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in gas distribution, compressed air, and fluid piping applications where a moderate directional change is required without adding a coupling.

This street elbow is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems. The street configuration means one end is a male thread and the other is a female thread, allowing direct connection to another fitting without a nipple. It is commonly used in gas line assemblies, steam systems, and general plumbing where a 45-degree offset is needed. The 1/4 inch size fits smaller branch lines and instrumentation taps.

Key Features

• 45-degree street elbow geometry for direction changes in tight spaces

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1/4 inch NPT threaded pipe systems in gas, air, and fluid service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), or the International Plumbing Code (IPC) as appropriate. Shut off all gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before disassembling any threaded connections. Apply thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
