Value Collection 451-004NL 3/4 Inch Brass 45 Elbow Mpt 125 Psi

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 451-004NL is a 45-degree brass pipe elbow rated for 3/4-inch male pipe thread (MPT) connections at Class 125 service. Constructed from red brass, this fitting redirects flow at a 45-degree angle in low-to-moderate pressure piping systems. The MPT ends thread directly into female-threaded fittings, valves, or pipe couplings using standard NPT tapered thread engagement. At 125 psi, the fitting handles typical domestic water supply and light commercial plumbing loads. Plumbers and HVAC technicians install this elbow where a gradual directional change is needed and space or flow requirements favor a 45-degree turn over a 90-degree elbow.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial water supply, hydronic heating lines, and general plumbing rough-in work. The red brass composition resists dezincification better than standard yellow brass, making it appropriate for potable water service and mildly corrosive water conditions. Its compact footprint — 1.75 inches wide and 2.75 inches tall — makes it practical in tight framing bays and mechanical chases where clearance is limited.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for gradual directional changes in piping runs
• 3/4-inch MPT ends with standard NPT tapered thread form
• 125 psi pressure rating for residential and light commercial service
• Red brass construction for improved corrosion resistance in potable water systems
• Class 125 designation consistent with ASME B16.15 bronze fitting standards

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-installation fitting for 3/4-inch NPT threaded piping systems in residential and light commercial plumbing and hydronic applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed plumber following applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off the water supply and relieve system pressure before threading this fitting into any live line. Apply thread sealant tape or pipe dope rated for brass fittings to all male threads before assembly. Do not over-torque the joint; tighten to hand-tight plus the number of turns appropriate for the fitting size per the sealant manufacturer guidance, and verify no leaks under pressure before closing up the installation.
