Value Collection B90R 40X25 Reducing 90 Elbow 1-1/2x1 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION B90R 40X25 is a malleable iron reducing 90-degree elbow designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, mechanical, and gas distribution systems. The fitting transitions from a 1-1/2 inch inlet to a 1-inch outlet with a standard NPT threaded connection on both ends. Rated to 300 psi, it meets Class 150 requirements and carries a black finish typical of Schedule 40 black iron pipe systems. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting in new construction and retrofit applications where a direction change and pipe size reduction are needed in a single fitting.

This reducing elbow is suited for residential and light commercial piping systems handling water, gas, and compatible fluids. The 1-1/2 x 1 inch size is commonly found in branch takeoffs, service drops, and distribution headers where flow is stepped down to a smaller line. The black finish and malleable iron construction make it appropriate for natural gas, propane, and hydronic heating piping where black iron is the standard material of choice.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 150 threaded malleable iron pipe systems using 1-1/2 inch and 1-inch NPT-compatible pipe.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes and the International Plumbing Code. Shut off and depressurize the line before disassembling any existing fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape to all male threads before assembly and tighten to snug-plus-hand-tight using a pipe wrench. Do not overtighten malleable iron fittings, as cracking the casting voids the fitting and creates a leak point.
