Value Collection MDG90 40-5 Malleable Iron 90 Elbow 1-1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MDG90 40-5 is a malleable iron 90-degree elbow fitting designed for threaded pipe assemblies in plumbing, gas distribution, and mechanical piping systems. Sized at 1-1/2 inches, it handles liquid and gas service up to 300 psi and steam service up to 150 psi. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance in both indoor and exposed mechanical room environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters install this fitting as part of Class 150 threaded iron pipe systems. It meets a broad set of industry standards including FM Approval, ISO 7/1, NSF/ANSI 61, NSF/ANSI 372, and cULus Listing.

This elbow is suited for residential and commercial piping applications where a 90-degree directional change is required in a threaded iron pipe run. Common install scenarios include gas supply lines, water distribution headers, steam heating systems, and fire protection rough-in work. The 1-1/2 inch size fits standard Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 malleable iron pipe systems. This fitting is sold in a package quantity of 5 units, making it practical for jobs requiring multiple fittings on a single service call or installation.

Key Features

• 300 psi liquid and gas pressure rating for demanding mechanical and gas piping applications
• 150 psi steam pressure rating suitable for low-pressure steam heating systems
• Threaded end connection for standard NPT iron pipe assembly
• Galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in wet and mechanical environments
• Class 150 malleable iron construction meets FM, NSF, and cULus requirements
• Complies with NSF/ANSI 61 and NSF/ANSI 372 for potable water contact applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for Class 150 threaded malleable iron pipe systems sized at 1-1/2 inches in plumbing, gas, and steam piping applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local codes, the International Plumbing Code, and the International Fuel Gas Code where gas service is involved. Shut off the gas supply or isolate the water system and relieve pressure before disassembling any existing pipe connections. Apply an approved thread sealant or PTFE tape to male threads before assembly and tighten fittings to proper engagement using a pipe wrench. Do not over-torque threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive force.
