Value Collection 4LB451/2 45 Degree Pipe Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4LB451/2 is a 45-degree threaded pipe elbow designed for use in piping systems that require a directional change at a 45-degree angle. Manufactured from 304 stainless steel, this Schedule 40 fitting offers solid corrosion resistance in a wide range of service environments. It features female NPT (FNPT) connections on both ends and is rated to 150 psi. The 1/2-inch size makes it a standard choice for moderate-flow lines in plumbing, industrial piping, and mechanical systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters are the typical installers for this type of fitting.

This elbow is suited for residential and light commercial piping applications where a 45-degree directional change is needed in a 1/2-inch threaded line. It is commonly used in water supply, process piping, and fluid transfer systems where stainless steel is specified for corrosion resistance or sanitary requirements. The FNPT x FNPT end connections allow straightforward assembly with standard male-threaded pipe or fittings.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for angled directional changes in threaded piping runs
• 304 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in wet and mildly aggressive service environments
• FNPT x FNPT end connections for standard threaded pipe assembly
• Rated to 150 psi for use in moderate-pressure systems
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for compatibility with standard pipe dimensions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2-inch threaded Schedule 40 piping systems using standard NPT connections.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or local plumbing code requirements. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling any existing fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to the male threads before assembly and tighten to hand-tight plus wrench-tight without over-torquing the stainless steel threads. Do not use this fitting in systems that exceed its rated pressure or in service environments chemically incompatible with 304 stainless steel.
