Value Collection MSC-62146733 Malleable Iron 90 Elbow 1/2 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MSC-62146733 is a malleable iron 90-degree pipe elbow fitting designed for use in piping systems carrying liquid, gas, or steam. Sized at 1/2 inch, this Class 150 fitting carries a liquid and gas pressure rating of 300 psi and a steam pressure rating of 150 psi. The galvanized finish provides corrosion resistance for both indoor and outdoor installations. Plumbers, pipefitters, and mechanical contractors install this type of fitting when a hard 90-degree directional change is needed in a threaded pipe run.

This fitting is suited for residential and light commercial plumbing, gas distribution, and steam piping applications where threaded malleable iron fittings are specified. The 1/2 inch size is commonly found in branch lines, service drops, and utility gas connections. The galvanized coating makes it appropriate for installations where moisture exposure is a factor. It is used wherever a durable, code-acceptable threaded elbow is required in a low-pressure piping system.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fitting for 1/2 inch threaded malleable iron pipe systems in Class 150 liquid, gas, and steam service applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with applicable local plumbing and mechanical codes, including the International Plumbing Code and International Fuel Gas Code where adopted. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and depressurize the line before threading or unthreading any fittings. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the service medium before making up the joint. Do not over-tighten threaded connections, as malleable iron fittings can crack under excessive torque.
