Value Collection 6LB4511/4 45 Deg Pipe Elbow 316 Ss

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 6LB4511/4 is a 45-degree threaded pipe elbow designed for use in piping systems that require a directional change at a 45-degree angle. Constructed from 316 stainless steel, this fitting offers strong resistance to corrosion, making it well suited for demanding fluid-handling and process-piping environments. The female NPT (FNPT) connections on both ends accept standard threaded pipe, and the Schedule 40 pressure rating of 150 psi makes it appropriate for moderate-pressure applications. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting during new construction and retrofit work on industrial, commercial, and institutional systems.

This elbow fits 1-1/4 inch pipe and is used in liquid and gas distribution lines where a 45-degree change of direction is needed. The FNPT x FNPT thread configuration is compatible with standard NPT-threaded pipe and nipples. Common applications include process piping, chemical handling lines, food-service plumbing, and marine or coastal installations where 316 stainless steel is specified for its enhanced resistance to chloride environments. It is also used in HVAC hydronic systems and general mechanical piping where stainless steel is required by specification.

Key Features

• 316 stainless steel construction provides elevated corrosion resistance in harsh or chloride-rich environments
• 45-degree elbow geometry allows directional changes with less flow restriction than a 90-degree elbow
• FNPT x FNPT threaded ends accept standard NPT-threaded pipe without specialized tools
• 150 psi pressure rating suitable for moderate-pressure fluid and gas service
• Schedule 40 wall thickness for compatibility with standard pipe dimensions
• 1-1/4 inch fitting size covers a common pipe diameter used in commercial and light industrial piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for standard 1-1/4 inch NPT threaded piping systems using Schedule 40 pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or pipefitters following applicable IPC or IFGC code requirements. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male NPT threads before assembly, and tighten to hand-tight plus the manufacturer-recommended turns per applicable code — do not overtighten stainless steel threads, as galling can occur. Shut off and depressurize the piping system fully before removing any existing fittings. Inspect threads on both the fitting and mating pipe for damage before assembly.
