Value Collection B121 8 45 Degree Street Elbow 1/4 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B121 8 is a 45-degree street elbow designed for threaded pipe systems in plumbing, HVAC, and industrial gas distribution applications. Manufactured from malleable iron with a black finish, this fitting meets Class 150 standards and carries a 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating. It is sized at 1/4 inch and conforms to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 and ASME B16.3 dimensional and threading standards. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting to change pipe direction at 45 degrees without requiring a coupling or nipple at one end, simplifying tight-space routing.

This street elbow is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems where a 45-degree directional change is needed in a compact run. The male-by-female threaded configuration allows direct makeup to a female-threaded pipe end or fitting, saving space and reducing total joint count. It is commonly found in gas lines, water supply runs, and steam systems operating within Class 150 pressure limits. The black finish is standard for gas piping applications per common installation practice.

Key Features

• 45-degree street elbow profile with male NPT inlet and female NPT outlet for compact directional changes
• Malleable iron construction rated for 300 psi liquid and gas service
• Black finish standard for gas distribution piping applications
• Conforms to ANSI/ASME B1.20.1 thread standard and ASME B16.3 fitting dimensions
• Class 150 classification for use in low-to-medium pressure systems
• 1/4 inch fitting size fits standard NPT threaded pipe of the same nominal size

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/4 inch NPT threaded malleable iron piping systems operating within Class 150 pressure ratings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable codes including the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) or International Plumbing Code (IPC) for the intended service. Shut off and depressurize the piping system completely before making up or breaking any threaded connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before threading the fitting into the mating connection. Do not over-tighten malleable iron fittings, as the material can crack under excessive torque.
