Value Collection 4LB454 Ss 45 Degree Elbow Npt Fitting

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 4LB454 is a stainless steel 45-degree elbow pipe fitting with NPT (National Pipe Taper) threaded end connections. It is used to redirect pipe runs at a 45-degree angle in pressurized fluid or gas piping systems. The stainless steel construction provides corrosion resistance in demanding service environments. Licensed plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting in commercial and industrial piping assemblies where directional changes are required without a sharp 90-degree turn. The NPT thread form ensures a tapered, pressure-rated seal when properly assembled with thread sealant.

This 45-degree elbow is suited for use in residential and commercial plumbing, HVAC hydronic piping, process piping, and general mechanical systems where a gradual directional change in the pipe run is needed. The stainless steel material makes it appropriate for corrosive environments, food-grade applications, and systems requiring high-cycle durability. It is sold individually and is intended for standard NPT-threaded pipe assemblies.

Key Features

• 45-degree elbow geometry for gradual directional pipe routing
• NPT threaded end connections for standard tapered thread fitment
• Stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in harsh or wet environments
• Sold as a single unit, no minimum multi-pack required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install fitting for standard NPT-threaded stainless steel pipe systems in plumbing, HVAC, and mechanical piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Depressurize and drain the piping system completely before removing or installing any threaded fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to NPT threads before assembly to ensure a leak-free joint. Do not over-tighten NPT threads, as tapered threads can crack fittings if excessive torque is applied beyond hand-tight plus standard wrench turns per trade practice.
